hi all girls and guys
i think both are foolish.
parents have experiance and they know to0 good and bad things but children not understand and face difficulties in their life .
who say religion nomatter i think they are foolish bcz religion is very important in every one life may be hindues or muslims both the girls and guys please listen u parents bcz they born u u do every things for u why u not gave them happyness this for all the stupid and foolish boys and girls

yeh this sucks!! Sikhs preach abotu equality between religons and cultures yet we cannot marry people from different ones!! Makes me so mad! And the caste system! Makes me even more angry! You know how hard it is to find a guy who not only sikh but from the same caste just so that your parents don't freak out and smack you around when they find out?

im a hindu girl in love with a bengali muslim guy - we been together 3 qand half years, and its been great - things only get better and better! i lived out at uni for 3 years and saw him EVERYDAY but now im home I find it so hard - i see him once a fortnight. The point is that we both want to get married, obviously were both scared, if I couold I would marry him tomorrow, but him being one of the oldest sons, froma big family, wants to get his 2 sisters married off first, which i totally respect. but theres so many uncertainties. I dont know how my parent will take it, and hes pretty sure his mum will never agree to it - why does there have to be so many rules, so many prejdices, so much hatred?... and advise?... it makes me so angry that people are so narrow minded, especially when a lot of Asian people are bought up a mulit-cultural community such as the UK where you are tought that everyone is equal regardless of your faith. Religion, culture, faith should not be issues when you are in love.. it hurts me to think that they are

My soon 2 be husband is sikh and i am a mixed race-half pakistani, irish muslim. My parents hav split but both stil pay attention to my upbringing. My mother is a converted muslim an is against me marrying, being in love with or even seeing my sikh fiance. My father is just as much against it. His parents didnt agree to him being with me because of my islamic upbringing bt are slowly coming round to the idea that the love between me and their son is too strong. Im converting to sikhism.

Hi Name,
I dounderstand ur feelings buddy...but think if u guys r n real love how come is it possible for u ppl to marry some other person and look at each other...ths is not the way to approach ths kind of issues...u guys knw each other rt...thn only u guys fall in luv rt..thn wht...goahead and marry tht gal and try to face ths world...PARENTS r the persons those who accept anything for thier children...but it will take some time...wait...u gys can win thr heart if lead a sucessful life...dont sacrifice ur luv...ths is not a sacrifaction...u r not ready to face problems....so plzzz go ahead and marry tht gal....GOOD LUCK MAN.

hey guys..
i am a hindu gal in love wid a muslim guy... our parents hv cm to knw bout us and don't really appreciate the idea of us getting married to each other. well on the grounds of religion.!!i can't think of leavin my bf. he is s muslim ..yes...but he is a beautiful human being ablove all. and tht is wat counts to me.
i knw i will be happy with this guy and you knw wats the best part..i will marry the man of my dreams and jus me myself all my life without any pretence of religion.

Hamida,
Seriously iam very proud and happy for you.Iam a sikh guy who is in love with a muslim pakistani girl.I can not tell you how much we love each other.Love has no religion, but its hard to tell other ppl.Her mom says only if i convert i may marry her.My mom says she doesnt mind me marrying a muslim.I dont mind converting to islam, but the only reason i dont think i should do is cause of my name. My NAME was given to me by parents, its their property. If i was an orphan i wouldnt mind but now it will be like taking the right from them. I dont have any problem in her religion, and cant even think of her converting to mine.Now its no more.We decided to stop talking(trust me iam waiting to die) She cant go against her mom, being the only child.Anyways, iam already dead but i would like to tell all the muslims to please consider and try to change the concept of converting. When 2 ppl love each other why should they convert when they have no prb with it. If you see,muslims be it boy/girl are not at all allowed to marry anyone else. Its considered HARAM. Why? If you feel its wrong please raise your voice.. Please dont misunderstand, iam not against islam.I only wish if i was one she would have been mine.I have lost my love for sake of her parents. But please ppl dont let your religion come in your love. If you loose, still support others for the same as iam doing. Please dont keep Veer away from his Zara.
(...for you my chanda, jahan bhi raho khush raho..)

i am a muslim boy in love with a hindu girl.we are deeply in lov with each other.but we both equally understand the real world.we do respect each others faith completely.we also teach each other the good qualities of our religion creating an undertsanding and helping us both be a good human being.we both hav very good,loving,gifted parents.though there r people who run away to be with their lov,we wouldnt do that because of the fact how it would hurt our parents.we do know the fact that it would be difficult 4 us to get married.but that doesnt bother us much cause we strongly believe that GOD is good,is watching us,understands us,and will only do whats good for us cause up to this day he has been helping our relationship in many ways.

keeping all these facts in mind we r having a very great fairy tale like realtionship based on trust and understanding.we both r doing our colleg.we do talk about getting married and how we would spent our time,though we know how difficult it would be 2 get married.

her mother does know me as she considers me just as her good decent friend.though she does suspect that her daughter likes me and is after me cause she did joke 2 her once or twice.her father she says is a bit religious and would oppose our relationship. but then we keep our faith in god.
i do understand her situation completely and the fact she coulnt hurt her father fellings.i am truly in love with her and would do all i can 2 keep her happy.maybe we may hav to part ways.LOVE IS PAIN TOO.but i would make sure she gets married to a person who would sincerily take care of her.before i die i hav a dream of seeing her with a lot of kids.

Hamida you are probably a guy in disguise.

Dear anonymous,
well, the thing about marrying somebody from out of your faith is such a big deal obviously because we see it causes so many fights. One of the main questions that such couples are asked is that, what religion are their children going to follow, and that the children are not going to have an identity of their own (not that religion gives you an identity, but rather you yourself.) One more thing is that, this becomes very important if one is marrying in a family that is very conserved. Prents who are fanatic will never let their kids marry a person from another religion. For them their religion is everything. Such people do not have knowledge about other religions and have big talk!
I have not been through any social tension about my relationship since nobody knows about it, but when it will come out in the open then I will have to cut off my social relations and family relations since they will never accept my decision of marrying the person whom I love!

I am currently writing an article on interreligious marriages, focussing on Muslim and Hindus. If any of you could please take a few minutes to answer some questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

-Why is it such a big issue to marry out of your religion?

-How has society responded to your inter religious relationship?

-What issues have you had to overcome to be with someone of a different religion?

I would really like to say that there are many similarities between hinduism and islam. Hinduism or rather Santana Dharma, also has a belief of one GOD and that everything else is a part of Him. Islam believes that there is one God and that everything else belongs to Him. Both these religions are very beautiful since they were created by God Himself. Instead of fighting so much, we must learn about these religions in depth. I would really suggest that people read some philosophy by Plato and Aristotle about God, i.e. their ideas on theology. One can also read about the muslim philosophers like Ibn Rushd and Al-Ghazali, and also hindu philosophy. I am very sure that you all will find so many similarities about both these beautiful religions.

Hi,

I would love to hear your opinion, views and pointers. I'm a hindu girl and have been with a muslim guy for nearly a year and half now. We want to be together and are actively trying to work things out.

He is religious towards Islam, he fully respects my religion (as he accepts the vedic scriptures as revalations of God too) and has never or will never ask me to convert for the simple reason that I believe in my own religion as it makes sense to me. I could never believe in anything else so I would never become a true believer in Islam and he knows this.

I respect his religon and appreciate the foremost part of Islam's want to do good by God (as does my religion) and adhere to God's last words whilst I try my best to adhere to God's first words(taking into consideration the Vedas scriptures as words of God dated back many years before the Quran). There seems to be many similarities in both teachings in terms of the way to act and conduct ourselves, think of the creator (I call him Bhaghavn and he calls him Allah) and pray and worship him only however, the main difference is that Islam doesn't accept the method in which I pray and as a result rejects me from their "society". I have to add here that Vedasium (the true Hindu religion without the altered messages/traditions that we see today) only believes in ONE God. Only one God just as Islam - we actually believe the same but just pray in different ways. For those of you who are thinking that we worship many idols/statues - we are just worshipping the different personifications of ONE God's diverse personality NOT many different Gods. As my boyf has been educated in this enlighting fact, we both feel that we are able to marry each other. Would you agree?

Now, to the most pertinent issue of all - Kids. My boyf would still like to raise Muslim children. Whilst I respect his relgion, I would still like my religion to be apart of the child. I pose this question, do you agree that they should be of one faith? If so, which one and why? or should they be educated in both and given the choice to decide when they understand it and are old enough? If there is anyone out who has had children or are going to who are half Muslim and half Hindu, I would appreciate your comments, help or advice on what to do?

We are two religious people from different faiths who belive in similar things but have an underlying clash somewhere along the lines!? Are we together and supposed to be together because God has asked us to figure things out so that we can be an example of a 'coming together society'? Or should we just be influnced by society and its traditions and forfeit a Love that could make us happy? Could!? It could or it couldn't - that's a risk I have to take? Should I take the risk? I feel that God brought us together for a reason and we're trying to make sense of it but feel torn in what to do and how to do it. Hope you can help?

Many Thanks.

Why do we fight over religion so much? We are all people. Why dont animals follow any religions?
Animals dont base their sexuality on religion. They are not hindus or muslims? Are they?

It is because animals are much higher beings than humans. Humans do not use all their capacity and follow ridiculous man made ideas to hate and kill each other. You should ask this question to framed brained people with fixed ideas who only see wrongs in anyone not following their lunacy.

Hello everybody!
The comments on this website are very interesting! I am very happy to find people who are in the same situation as me. Well, this is for everybody who is in trouble. Love is divine, I think there is nothing greater than love. God is love, there is no religion that will teach one to hate others. If your love is true then it will work succeed, it may be hard, but think of it as a test being taken to see whether your love is really true or not. Obviously, it's not that easy, there is nothing that can be easily gained in this life, not even true love! Yeh sab ke bas ki baat nahi! This world has never been nice to the ones who have fallen in love and it never will. When you die, you can atleast say that you achieved something, and that something was true love, received only by those who are very fortunate!

Well sikhguy, that is very true, that arranged marriages do work! The consulting of the families with each other is good when it comes to arranged marriages. But, what if a boy and a guy want to marry each other but are not the same religion! Problems do arise. This is to everybody, if you are not broad minded, or if you are very religious, like very islamic, then why were you interested in somebody from a religion other than yours? Why did you have to build a relationship with somebody, if you knew since the beginning that it was not going to work out? If you do really, truly love somebody, then you will sacrifice for your love!

I have changed myself for him in the blink of an eye! Done things that I would never have done! Said things that I would have never said! I have become a better person, he has made me better! He is not only my love or boyfriend, he is my dearest friend in this world, he is a parent, an advisor, a guide, escort, he is everything in this world! I am dearly in love with him! I am ready to face all the consequences in from this world that hates lovers! I am a muslim and he is a hindu, but we are not going to let religion come in between this! More so, he is gujju and there is a 10 year gap between us!

Everybody watch Veer Zaara and get some inspiration!

Arranged marriages are not a sham, and are actually quite good and successful in the Asian community, as long as there is consultation between the girl or boy and the parents.

It is easy for western people to critcise arranged marriages as they dont understand the beauty and subtlety of it all.

the western people can not judge, as they have more divorces than any other race, and change partners like they change their socks.

The problem arises when the boy or girl wants to marry someone outside the particular community.

In the Sikh community the girl and boy usually are given the opportunity to meet quite a few potential marriage prospects, and talk with them privately, and when both find they like each other, one or two further meetings are had so they can be sure, only then is it taken further.

Too right! Religion and race should not be a factor when getting married, only love. And arranged marriages are a sham, both here in the West and in the East also nowadays. a lot has to change. I can't believe you father hit you! I could never forgive him for that myself.

I am a Muslim Pakistani girl in love with my Sikh guy. We decided to tell our parents. and although his parents were against me at the begining, are slowly coming around to the fact that we are not going to let anybody interfere, and will get married.

My parents being muslim we knew would be difficult. they bullied me threatened me, dad even hit me a few times, until I threaten to tell the police and leave.

Now they say I can have my Boyfriend if I convert him to muslim. I told them streight out I will not, and will convert to Sikhism to keep him.

Now they have accepted the situation, and we will be getting married in the Sikh temple and living away from our parents, I am happy now, but the pressure muslim parents put on their children is unbelievble. I also told my brothers if they interfere I will run away, and it is non of their business.

I also know many pakistani girls are now dating Sikh and hindu guys. I think Pakistanis should accept that the modern pakistani girl is independent and will date and yes have sexual relation with anybody she wants. after all do not pakistani guys always dating other women in the name of islam, as a front? I know girls will not accept these double standards anymore.

hey everybody! I was very happy to find this site and read what everybody has written. I am a muslim girl in love with a hindu guy. Nobody knows about us! his parents are not gonna interfere, but mine are! He is still ready to face the consequences and I am very proud of him! All I have to say to everybody is if you truly love someone you should go for it. You are not the only one out there, there are many like us!

I am a Muslim girl and in love with a Hindu guy. We are serious about our relationship and intend to build our life together. He has showed me to his mother and eventhough she is not happy about it but she does not intefere so much. Problem is, my parents came to know about our relationship and is against it. I even thought of moving out of the house and get myself married to him. But I know if I move out, my mum's health condition will not be good. Please someone helpppp me...what should I do?
