Because your parents may just figure out that your children are Hindu. You and your bf may be able to keep schtum about your religious beliefs when in front of people, but don’t expect your children to sit quietly when they see something a little ‘abnormal’ because they haven’t been exposed to such religious beliefs.

As for the burning after your death - I guess you may be right. But would you be able to stand there and watch your dead husband burn?

And there’s no problem in you marrying a Hindu, if you are not a Muslim. If you are, then there is an issue.

Whew! wipes forehead
This thread is certainly a good dress reharsal for what’s coming!

Surely, nobody becomes hindu by just saying namaste..Kids wouldn’t find it abnormal because we intend to raise them with both sets of beliefs…I guess we’d have to stick to a more open interpretation of both beliefs.
Don’t intend to lie to the parents about our beliefs - only to others..

Watch my dead husband burn ?? I don’t want to think of this stuff..but in the interest of complete information..plus I’m feeling really morbid at this point..
Cremation takes place in these huge electric -powered furnaces..you don’t actually watch anyone burn..apparently they just bring you the ashes … Don’t ask how I know.. was with one of my girlfriends when her grand daddy died…
For real traditional hindoos..womenfolk don’t go to the cremation grounds…just say goodbye at the gate

I can’t believe I actually wrote this ..
