Re: Marrying a non-muslim who is NOT ready to convert..
Well, in my case, both my parents are very cool minded and accepting. Which is hard to say about the new generation. I don;t know how stubburn and narrow minded/open minded your bro, your family, the girl and the girl’s family is.
In my parent’s case, they both try to understand each others background problems. we, 4 siblings were raised up in total Islamic environment in Hong Kong. my mother tolerates a lot from my father’s side, and my father tries to compensate it when dealing with my mom’s side of family.
My mother have no problem with us praying Namaz and reciting Holly Quran, and we don;t mind accompanying her to temples on special occasions, and my father drives us there. My mom respects our religion and we respect hers.
So, it;s more of a mutual understanding, respect, tolerance and a bit of sacrifice.
