For example. You parents would not accept a non muslim, would you still date them?
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
That was never a possibility when I was single.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
err no what would be the point then?
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
i wouldnt . but many of my friends date guys non muslim and muslim, with no plans of marrying them. most people just want a 'timepass'.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
would u cook something for yourself that you cant/dont eat?
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
It is just a bad idea. I understand it looks good when you date him/her. But again there is no point to date to whom you cant marry. Isn't it sound too selfish to ignore our basic moral values. I am just syain.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
Like everyone above said there isn't a point of dating someone Non-Muslim or someone you can't marry but it does happen. People date for other reasons and not just marriage.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
I did..
Situations can change.. The person who 'can't' be married in the beginning sometimes can in the end..
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
STA i opened this as a general thread as a mod asking questions etc not a personal question.Firkr not.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
I know you are not the one who is actually asking it, but i referred it to you. let me edit.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
err no what would be the point then?
Some ppl think parents will accept it in the end or get used to the partner.. or that the person they're seeing might convert..
Not so much with religion but I've seen plenty of parents who said they would never accept a non-desi son or daughter-in-law but then completely changed their minds and were absolutely fine with it in the end (and I don't mean just on the surface/just for show)..
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
Depends on both the individuals. Obviously there will be hurdles that will needed to be overcome.
I think dating someone HOPING that it may turn out to be something more is okay. As long as you act upon that hope. If you are going out with someone and become bf/gf knowing that it will end, thats just cruel. Especially if the other party is unaware of this.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
No
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
Dating? hawwwwwwwwww
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
Nope
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
No. While in college, I was asked out by desi and non desi guys who were not Muslim, and they were good, decent guys by all counts, but I never explored any of those possibilities because I had already seen what had happened in the family when my elder sister married a non Muslim American. It's a road is felt was best left untraveled.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
If I did, and if my parents did get upset with me, I'd have the decency to take the blame for the strained relationship as my parents had made it very clear to me what they would and wouldn't accept and they're about the only people on the planet who get to have a say in my life's decisions.
Re: Would you date a person you couldnt marry?
I think if i knew what my parents expected of me and what they wanted for my future, I'd respect them enough not to take a step that might cause conflict later.
How ever, if there was a situation where both people knew what they ultimately wanted, there isn't any harm in explaining the situation and asking the parents to reconsider. What ever happens after is between thier families.
