For Muslims? yes\n\nWill she convert to your religion to prove her love? \n\nDoes not look like it otherwise you would not been asking this question.\n\nSo she keeps her religion first and you secondary .\n\nWhy she does not open her mind ? and convert to your religion?\n\nAll Muslims are going to tell you that you must convert . But it goes both ways.\n\nIf she wont be Muslim anymore You will not have any problem marrying her.\n\nThough under civil law you can marry her, without either of you converting.\n\nAfter marriage a girl is supposed to join husbands family, it looks like you want to do opposite.\n\nAre you sure about conversion? \n\nIf you convert then what? \n\nWhat Islam has in spiritual section which advait Vedanta does not cover ? We do not have a one book religion not narrow definitions. There is so much to learn that whole life time is short. But the freedom Hinduism gives is unique.\n\nYou will be just getting loosing your family and if your marriage somehow did not work, you will have already lost too much. Because the moment you leave your religion for marriage , you lost an identity , you had since birth.\n\nUnder civil law you both Will be better off. Nobody will be loosing his/her personal belief yet get full benefits.\n\nOr you care more for the relationship to continue than her?\n\nGet another Girl will be my suggestion If she insists that you should really convert.\n\nOtherwise you are going to end up frustated after a few years.

Yes they do. They call them people of the "book".\n\nMuslims do not allow women to marry outside their religion though. even to the people of the "book".\n\nThey had one book and thought they had hit a jackpot.\n\nBut seriously speaking they used to behead people who refused to convert and take their women in. so it was declared legal.

Yes, it is allowed in islam and also in some christianity also. like in england one can marry his or her cousin, but in america it is not allowed.

No, I married him! We respect our differences n realize that as long as we r both God fearing n try to live a good decent life, the rest is semantics.\n\nWHEN will some of u people get it thru ur head that Muslims believe in the same one n only true God that we believe in!? They r NOT "unbelievers"!

wow! so many yes! i guess in society and culture section many who blast 4 marrage system in islam are just jealous christians!\n\n  even not all muslims have more than one wife. \n\n any way, from a country where it was allowed till some 60 years back, i can tell it only deteriorates families. it continuous peacefully when one of the wife has low self esteem or have no where else to go she compromises as atleast she has a roof over her head. when it comes to inheritence the situationm is worse.\n\n   ever heard of sati system in india? it was mostly in bengal. you know why ? in bengal hindu law of inheritance daybhag was applied. that meant the widow had a full right of her husbands property even if she had no child. in rest of india widow without child just had life interest in property. polygamy was rampant. so the result was youger wives were often forced to die on funeral pyre along with their husbands. you have no idea the downfall and problems such systems cause in society.\n\n  if you read history of mugals you will find how many brothers cut each others throats because every queen and her chldren claimed the throne as their right. \n    \n   other than that when some of partners will be emtionally and otherwise deprived of marital needs they are going to cause problems in families.\n\n your family system is already falling apart. are you looking for a last nail?

Of course they shouldn't have to divorce, but this is what happens when one lives in an Islamic society.  It would probably be best if they moved out of the country.

I have had lots of friends from India and Pakistan who are involved with arranged marriages, even some who were hesitant and scared to enter in to one.. they are all happily married. I am close with them and I see thier joy and thier relief at being married to someone who shares their same religious beliefs, culture and whose family is already bonded with their own.. Most of the "love" marriages I've seen end in divorce, I, myself am about to divorce the man I've been married to for  6 years.  We dated for 7 years, then married, then all of his bad habits worsened, as did mine, we grew apart and now I've left him.. A "love" marriage was a mistake for me. I'm American, white and "arranged marriage" was not one of my options, I wish it had been. I'm now a converted Muslim, and I hope one day I can have an arranged marriage. God Bless you :D

y do you have an arranged marriage..............thats dumb.

No, I would still marry them, because each person can have their own beliefs, and not have it interrupt the marriage at all. Religion is something that brings people together, not takes them apart. Besides if the love is true then they respect each others religion, so it would not be a big deal

i am from the west and i have been to India and yes i believe so.   However i think they work for different reasons.    There is a sense of obligation to your family when the arrange your marriage.  I met people who were not in favor of arranged marriage but did not want to disobey or shame their parents so they would go through with it when the time was right.  I divorce in that sense would shame the family.  Also because it is arranged and in many Indians case Dowry is exchanged it is more like a business deal.  In the West our parents are not involved.  For the most part you decided even if your parents don't like them.  So if it does not work you get a divorce and no one is ashamed of you

I am neither Indian nor Hindu (nor Buddhist), but I think the answer depends on several factors: a. How strong are both of you in your faiths?  b. How much do you both have in common?  (The more things you share in common the more compatible you will be.)  c. How much do you fill each other's emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs? \nIf one, or both, have strongly held religious beliefs, there WILL be conflict in your marriage, especially if neither are willing to compromise.  (Personally I don't agree that you should compromise your beliefs.)  Compatibility is more important than physical attraction, because looks fade, and after a while you stop noticing what the other person looks like.  And how well he treats you, day after day, year after year, the feelings you get from being with him, are more important than money in the bank.  Money gets stolen, or spent too fast! but emotional security is priceless.  If he has lived in Mexico for a long time, or you in India, then you both have some cultural things in common, which is a good start.  But if you are both from completely different cultures, the outlook is bleak.  You would have to work extra hard to overcome that handicap.  There.  Has that discouraged you enough?  (Just kidding.)  It all comes down to you personally.  What do you want?  Are you willing to take the time to get to know him well enough to know whether he's the one for you and that you're compatible?  It does take time, unfortunately.

Yes.  I am married to a muslim man.  I follow an earth religion and he is muslim.  We both practice our religion and are happy together.  We have been married for almost 5 years now.  I have learned a lot from being with him.\n\nYou can work things out, if you love each other and respect each other, religion will not stand in the way of it.

Im also from india and im muslim. First you must be sure that the girl likes you back and you must tell her. If your families are very strict about their religion it will be very hard wed and live a happy life with one another. If not, then let her meet your parents. They will grow to like her. You must tell your mom because will find out one way or another if you marry her. It's almost like all the indian movies where the couple elopes or something and they are always thinking about their parents.

Have your parents arrange a marriage. Good Muslim women don't date.
