Methinks SRK wanted to discuss his own married life and quite successfully did so via red chillies entertainment :hmmm:

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

first of all ppl have to realise that majority of the ppl who get into such wedlocks (hindu muslim) are generally non practicing muslims and thus they dont care about halal haram.

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

its funny how the movies only show mUslim girls marrying Hindu boys...is it ever the opposite?

I think it can work out up to a point, where both the people are godless and dont care about religion or anything. c

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

Lets rephrase the question. If they learn to shave their pubes and start taking showers, will it be more acceptable?

Aaaaaahahahaha. I joke I joke.

But most muslims pick and choose what they want to follow and what part of religion they want to leave out. Atleast most muslims I come across don't follow Islam 100%.

In the case of the Khan's they are welcome to do what they wish. But it is against the prinicples of Islam and our faith. They insult it by attempting to make a sin acceptable.

Yes it's against Islam but not everyone follows the religion they were born into. And no it's not insulting to religion, it just shows that those Khans aren't good Muslims.
As far as the topic is concerned, I think any marriage can be successful and survive regardless of the race and religion. I know one couple in real life thats hindu-muslim and they ahve been married for 4 years now.

I am sorry i dont agree to what you said there. Sara's post has the answer to it this which is marriage ll be successful only if you are godless and do not care about any haram halaal.

I cannot even think of marrying a person who is not a practicing muslim let alone someone from other religion.

Secondly yes not everyone follows islam 100% but difference between Halaal and Haraam is known to almost everyone. Only a small percentage (such as such marriages) deliberately close their eyes and opt for haraam. I can just feel sorry for them and nothing else.

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

Well yeah, most people who would marry a non-muslim are pretty much godless and only muslim by name. Most of them still call themselves muslims but don't actually practice Islam. I highly doubt SRK is a practicing Muslim. My cousin who married a hindu guy still calls herself muslim but ofcourse she doesn't care so much about actually following the teachigns of religion.

YOU SO read my mind!

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

I see.

The marriages can survive but they're not ideal. We've seen examples of celebrities, and I've seen examples of my friends too who have Muslim mothers and Hindu fathers. What I've seen is that the Muslim wife will eventually weaken her faith and maybe even be involved in more Hindu practices. I've seen cases where the kids cannot define their religion... so if asked a question like do you believe in reincarnation?- they say, "well, ummm, yeah, but no, uhhhhhh, I don't know." How are the offspring going to practice Islam and teach their future generations as well? Marriage may also lead to future children and that's what the Muslim-Hindu couples need to think of before getting married.

I think TV and movies have made Muslim-Hindu unions seem glamorous with the fighting families and eventually a marriage in the end. I remember I was watching a Salman Khan game show on Sony. Sunil Shetty was the guest. And Salman Khan wanted Sunil Shetty to share information about his wife's religion and backround. Sunil Shetty said that his wife is a Muslim Punjabi and Salman khan was clapping and praising it. What message is he trying to send??

Even if a Muslim is weak in their faith, not as practicing... they should still try or hope to have a stronger deen in the future by marrying someone of the same religion. If Muslim woman marries a Hindu man... she leaves her family behind, accepting her husband and his family, which also includes their religion. It becomes harder to make your Deen stronger in this situation.

We desi muslims are hindu enough as it is, marrying a hindu is simply icing on the cake.

Heer Ranja, Romeo & Juliet, etc - all prove one thing, when you are in true love, nothing else matters. Even death. This is their life - Let God judge them, who are we to judge them.

Let us who have had arranged marriages, continue with our unromantic & dreary lives.

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

It's a pity that Indian people look up to Bollywood stars to establish their faith and learn about their religion. It's getting very common in India for muslim girls to marry hindu boys and not converting...they look at Shahrukh & Gauri Khan as their role models and in fact raise their kids with both sets of religious practices. Not just that, they even defy Quranic principles and have redefined Islam to suit their lifestyle.

Oh well, who are we to judge? I guess it all boils down to whether you watch these movies for pure entertainment or for guidelines on how to live your life.

I only have one thing to say..

...bohot yarana lagta hai..

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

it depends on compatibility. if the guy and the girl don't give religion any priority in their compatibility, and don't care about the role religion will play in their future... then, yeah, the marriage can survive.

afterall, there are muslim marriages that don't work out over the stupidest and smallest of issues that may even involve religion.

Re: Muslim - Hindu Marriage Survival?

So how about when someone IS religious and they still date a partner of a different religion?
I know this girl who was hijabi, taught Islamic school, very religious…dated a hindu gujurati dude and he wasn’t about to convert. And they weren’t even private about their dating :smack:

39

well… first, it’s hard to determine if someone is “religious” or “very religious” because we’re not with them 24/7 and we don’t know what they’re true intentions are.

second, she missed out on modesty in her religious education or chooses to ignore it. She also missed out on Muslim women not marrying men from other religions. but i’m hoping she’s teaching those to the kids. i guess those kids are going to be hella confused when they see their teacher openly dating a hindu guy.

third, she really does have guts and must not care about what others think. i’d at least hide the dating if i were in her position, but she’s brave.

:k:

I don’t know if anyone here watches this new show called Lift Kara De, in which they have a superstar every week, and they find his/her biggest fan. They then give a big amount of money to someone needy. Anyway, when they show the search for the biggest fan, it is absolutely shocking to see how crazy people are in India after the actors/actresses. The things they do for them are ridiculous. This one guy has Shahrukh Khan’s name tattooed all over his arms, pictures of Katrina Kaif all over the room, one girl skipped her medical school exams because she wanted to come audition so she could meet Kajol. And then today, I was reading about this fan who carries Salman Khan’s picture in his wallet, he doesn’t start his day without looking at him. He has turned his small house into a shrine for Salman Khan with his pictures all over, and next to the idols in his house. Okay I am a huge Salman Khan fan myself but that was just so extremely weird and ewww. I have seen similar stuff on TV about Amitabh Bacchan and Sachin Tendulkar, people consider and worship them as god :eek:
