Re: Interracial marriage - would/did you do it?
No problem. It isn’t just “interfaith”, I think it’s parental values not matching up. Like I said before, my BIL is far more Muslim than some Muslims I know. I see the same struggles in Muslim households where parents come from different ends of the spectrum. My husband has cousins, brother and sister. The brother is raising his kids islamically where as the sister is not, although both are married to muslims and both had the same parents. The difference is that the brother is married to a woman for whom raising her kids islamically is important, however the sister is married to a man who is disrespectful towards Islam. A man who is a hot shot by our societal values and he refutes everything when it comes to religion, probably because his father believes in the South Asian version of Islam “Hell Fire & Brimstone” “obey” etc…
