You'd better be careful because you could get killed if you come out in an Islamic country.

You don't have to marry. Leave wherever you are for school in another city or country that doesn't have that marriage rule. Through school get an internship so you can get work experience. If necessary, apply for citizenship and get a work visa so you can get a real job. When asked why you're not married say "I'm concentrating on my career right now" or "I haven't found Mr. Right". Good luck.

I don't know about all that. My husband and I are an interracial couple (the first for both sides of the family) and I told my parents about him as soon as I felt that it was serious & I was in love & going to be spending alot of time with him. (as did he) I don't know your bf or his family, but I do know that in some Muslim religions it is shameful to date outside of your religion or race & is punishable by DEATH. Maybe he is afraid to tell & if that is the case I would be too, and I wouldnt pressure him to tell. Good luck :)

Apologies on behalf of the rest of these jokers who think it is their business to tell you who you can or cant spend your life with. I would suggest getting maried first in the UK. You can find out what is required from your nearest registrar in Edinburgh there is one on Victoria street. It is very easy to get married in Scotland (but im not sure what visa he will need to enter into UK in the first place, a tourist visa should be fine though), and usually you can get married 14 days after you register. Then you will need to get him a spousal visa to stay in the UK, the best way to do this would be to apply through an agency, all non eu citizens are allowed to apply for a spousal visa by being married to a eu citizen. The best way to go about this is to go through an agency such as breytenbachs 8heir website is www.breytenbachs.co.uk or 1st contact www.1stcontact.co.uk. An agency will do it more proffesionally and there is more of a chance that the visa will be approved.

All praises be to Allaah (God) I'm sorry you endured that. Kabbadeath is a bit of an ear sour and HE IS NOT A Muslim. In my opinon he is like the foul smell of tap water you just have to get it filter..He has major head issues. So please don't take has words as they are lies. Islam doesn't tolerate homosexuality at all but whatever you did before you become Muslim is done away with ok. If you are interested in Islaam and have questions please feel free to contact me ok or I can contact you I usually don't post any info on me except my name due to the crazies in the world but please give me ours and Islamic I will do my best to help if you are serious about wishing to learn Islaam.\n\nOk I read you some of your post as I told you Islaam doesn't tolerate homosexuality and Allaah destroyed the city of Sodom and Gomarrah solely for that crime, so I'm not sure if you are asking for you son or yourself. I would tell  you that your son has to repent and leave off of that which angers Allaah. I will keep your question on my add list ok. Take Care.

HI,reading your question makes my heart ache.first of all u should not be living with a boyfriend-at least our religion ISLAM does not allow it.try to find a husband instead.secondly do not take any abuse from him.leave him instantly.a man who does not care for u now would never do it even if u marry him.\nTry to stand on your own two feet-have dignity and cut all ties with him.sincerely wishing u the best.

Yes only if you convert into Islam.Don't pretend that you are Muslim if you don't mean it and don't become a Muslim just because you want to marry a Muslim girl. You should embrace Islam only when you are ready and I truly hope that you do that with honesty.\n\nDon't marry your girlfriend if you are not a true Muslim yet. You will get a lot of troubles then. I hope your heart will open one day to accept and practise the real Islam before you marry a Muslim girl. May God bless you.

I have a friend who is a Christian and married a Muslem.  It is important for the two of you to discuss whether you will want to worship together (will you go with each other to services, or go seperately?) and how you will handle religious regulations in the home.  It is essential that you also decide how your future children will be raised.  Being on the same page with this is key for your future.  Good luck.

Actually, in Islam, both the girl and boy involved in getting married must agree to the marriage before it is carried out. In that, they have a choice in who they want to marry.\n\nHowever, since dating is not allowed, and nor are premarital relations, people may wonder how do Muslims marry? It's actually very simple and an almost guaranteed success plan - the parents are the best people to help find the perfect suitors for their children. If they feel that they have found someone who's a good match, the two parties involved are allowed to get to know each other and talk and discuss whatever issues or concerns they may have in the presence of the girl's guardian, of course.\n\nAfter that, they can take as long as they want for either party to decide whether or not they are content with the family, the boy/girl, etc. and then a final decision can be made.\n\nBut just to reanswer your question - the boy DOES have a choice. In fact, men in Islam don't NEED their parents permission to marry if they find someone suitable, however due to the great respect we are encouraged to show our parents, it is best to go through them and have their blessing too. I hope that helped! :)

You listen to that ten year old and you're gonna wade deeper into the sludge you are already in...\n\nFirst of all, I understand the part about you living in Iran. So that means, the chances are - you're Muslim. That means, GAY - total NO-NO. First of all, you need to come clean with yourself. You have to beat some of that sense into your head that there is no way you can be gay because the religion totally disallows it. Porn is another thing - you definitely don't want to be caught dead watching porn and trying to save yourself from being gay. That's a lame excuse. Instead, I suggest you go out and do some work - make friends and go take up some sports. In this moment, it is CRITICAL that you seize the moment, work and activity is one way to keep your mind of sex.\n\nGet a girlfriend, though in your position - I'm sure it's easier said than done. But if you have a girlfriend, spend more time with her and try to develop more of your feelings inclined to the opposite sex. Everytime your thought strays to being GAY, you have to remind yourself that you are not only disappointing your family, but also your religion. I find that if you really want to change, you can...\n\nBeing gay is ensuring yourself a spot in hell but even if you have one fling with a guy and come clean with yourself, you still have the chance for redemption in God's eyes. But trying to kill yourself - there's no redemption. You'll go to hell straight. Forget suicide. It's best you solve this instead.\n\nI'd suggest you speak to your parents though: you need somebody who knows you to be able to help you. To solve a problem is to address it. Good luck.

Yes. Sad but yes. I lived in the middle east  and because  of my sexuality i had to  come back to the States.I was tired of feeling that i couldn't come out to society there.In my opinion,  Islam is a very strict religion, so that is why  the society there intend to take it more difficult than others.

Unfortunately, you're out of luck.\n\nIn order to get married in Massachusetts, you have to be living in Massachusetts.  So strike one.\n\nSecond, the federal government doesn't recognize marriages performed in Massachusetts.  So you can move to Massachusetts,  get married, and still not be able to get your girl citizenship as your wife.  She would have to go through all the hoops as if she were single. Strike two.\n\nSorry.  Our government sucks :-(

Pwerhaps it's the lure of the pretty little chapel and all, maybe we need atheist wedding chapels in all cities these days. \n\nI don't mind where I wed my gay partner when we decide to go through with it, as it's only been an option since last December here in Britain ...we are not rushing into it all of a sudden just because civil marriage is suddenly available to us, now it's an option we can think about it.

For now you'll have to go some where where you are acknowledged!\nAssuming you are a GLBT couple, you could go get married in Canada....emmigrate there even.\nOr go to Spain or the Netherlands to get hitched.\nThere are plenty of countries you could get a civil partnership in....but the USA would still not recognise or acknowledge any of these legal partnerships.\nSmall minded W.A.S.P lawmakers you have there.\nHopefully one day they'll realise what asses they are being by continuing to discriminate against the GLBT community.

This completely depends on how strongly you and your girlfriend feel about religion. You have several options:\n\n1. Marry her, but keep your current religions. If either of you come from religious families, marrying outside of your religion may cause a great deal of tension. When my Romanian Jewish father and my Filipino Catholic mother got married, they took this route. Many of my father's Jewish relatives didn't speak to them for several years. However, after I was born, his family members came around and reconciled with my parents. Sometimes, these situations take time. How would your families react, and what are you willing to deal with? How would you want your children to be raised? I celebrated both Christian and Jewish holidays my whole life, and I feel that this gave me a great respect and appreciation for religious customs. However, if raising your children as Muslims is important to you, now is the time to talk about these things.\n\n2. She converts to Islam. This could also work. My friend is half-Pakistani and half-Filipino, and her Filipino mother converted to Islam when she married her father. Her mother's side of the family was not very happy about it, but religious conversion is a very personal choice, so no one really held that against her. Talk to your wife about her feelings on this topic. Tell her that you would like to marry her, but that you are concerned about the fact that she is not the same religion as you. Ask her if she would be open to learning more about your religion and, if it feels right to her (no pressure, of course!), would she ever think about becoming a Muslim and raising a family together in Islam? \n\n3. You convert to her religion. This doesn't seem like something you are considering, but it's similar to #2 above, so I'll just cut to #4...\n\n4. None of the above. Yes, it's possible that neither of you are willing to change your religion or imagine a marriage/life with someone of a different religion. If this is the case, it's going to be a very tough decision. It sounds like you love her enough to want to marry her, but the religious difference is a stumbling block. Can you live without this woman in your life? Or, can you find an acceptable compromise that both of you will be happy with?  This situation is very common, and it can definitely work! My parents have been married now for over 30 years. :)  Good luck!
