@Enigmatic

once a person is married and living under the same roof differences of even the smallest belief has full tendency to get really ugly and cause rifts bw the couple. And when it comes to kids parents would always want the best for them. Also keeping the balance b/w both religions at home would be a real hard task.

Secondly why is it that we call ourselves Muslims and say we follow Islam yet we have our own Religion of Convenience. We adapt the teachings and mold them according to our needs? That’s hypocrisy! Islam = complete submission to Allah ! So it’s either you are in or out. You are an adult. You obviously have complete right to live the way you want and marry the person you want. Even your parents can’t force you to marry someone you don’t want to.

But please don’t make it hard for your parents and tell them now of your intentions. The more you drag this the more hurt you would be causing. Also please when you know the marriage is Islamically totally invalid then don’t keep hoaxing yourself to be Muslim and have Muslim-Hindu kids because that would only make things really hard for your future children in terms of faith and what to believe.

So it’s better to turn atheist or admit that you no longer are Muslim and then marry this person. At least you wouldn’t be leading a double/confused life this way and you wouldn’t be creating problems for your own future children later.

Hold up! You don’t just decide to give up belief in God one day. It either was never with you or you lose it gradually due to your circumstances. It’s not like you step in a Majid and read Shahada and become muslim in a jiffy. Belief in God has to be there before someone embraces a religion.

In OP’s case, it’s likely she will lose faith in her religion as she already seems very inspired by her BF’s religion. But I highly doubt she will give up her belief in God.
