Will an Indian man have any cultural or religious problems marrying a Mexican girl?

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.

I just wanted to point out that Sikhism has nothing to do with this, we do what's right.  But like all religions, their are people who break the rules.\n\nAnd the auntie part, that's normal, well since I'm Indian, all my mother's friends etc. I call auntie, and uncle, it's just family ties are close with indians.\n\nAnd why would you have an affair with a married man?  What are you thinking?

First question to you is, have you met this man in person and spent a significant amount of time with him in person?  and I mean face to face, not over the phone or webcams, etc.  If not, you want to do this first, and you might want to first visit his country if you have not done so, then next, bring him over on a tourist visa to visit you.  Internet relationships can be a great start, but the real proof is face to face, day to day.\n\nAlso, because these are very different cultures, do a lot of research on the Indian culture, so that you are well-informed.  Love does not conquer all, you need to be ready to deal with the obstacles and difficulties, and knowing what they might be will be most helpful to you.\n\nMake sure that he is not just wanting to find a way to the U.S.  A lot of Indians want to move to Canada or the U.S., and some will use marriage if they have to, to accomplish this.  You would rather be aware of this now, than later.\n\nWhen you are ready to bring him over permanently, if that is your decision, then you will want to go to the Immigration website and read through the material and fill out the application forms to go through the process.  If you need or want help, consult an immigration lawyer, preferably one with a good reputation.\n\nHere are links for you:\n\nVisa Home Page\nhttp://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html\n\nImmigration Home Page\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/

I'm Indian and Arab. A lot of times, culture does play a big role in marriage, and many people still have arranged marriages. The parents want to find a spouse who will be an asset to the family, and compatible with their child. \n\nCulture and religion tend to play a very large role.\nI don't have issues with marrying anyone outside of our culture, but many people would. Keep the blood, "pure."\nIt's unfortunate, but it does allow the culture to continue as it does.\n\ni was never allowed to date anyway :)

You must have seen that program on the News the other night. Man it was something else.  I am dating a man from india i met on a dating site.  Yes their are many and i mean many women in india who are used for sex.  their are many american women over there who are married to india men.. the young children are put in their houses for pleasher this is true. as for the number we will never know this for sure.\n\nWhat i can say is this. When a man is not given a women at birth.. he loses out... when he trys to find a women from his cultral they do not want him do to family, prestrige, and money. so he uses these women an houses for pleashers.  even the men who are married.. here is the reason why?\n\nIndia women are tought to lay on their backs with legs open they are not allowed to make any at all noises. their eyes are closed.  A man is not allowed to look at a women privits or they say a child will become blinded at birth. all the seamon is the womens property. so a man may not do the hand thing. only with wifes permission..  \n\nthe men run to privit houses for comfort for expression of sexual desires. they go to movies and watch pron..\n\nthe women are to be cold and have no feelings.. \n\nso their are many prostutions in india becouse of this out let.. and now they do not have to get married they can stay single and live with each other..  the world is changing.

I'm white and I married a Mexican. One of the best decisions of my life. (Not just because he's Mexican, but becasue I love him and he loves me. Race should never matter.)

Fine so long as you're alike culturally and religiously.  If you are a Black Muslim attempting to marry a Mormon, you're going to be in trouble.  See what I mean?  If you see eye to eye religiously, morally and culturally, you'll be alright. \nMy sister married a Philipino guy. My parents were all upset, but he's a "home boy" from my home town and is no different in the way he thinks and speaks and acts from her.  My parents finally realized that and LOVE him!

Well it depends on the man, not the culture. That's like asking will a Hispanic man from Mexico treat his American wife good. Cultural influences play a part in many instances, but it really depends on the person.

A religious Jewish man can't marry a non-Jewish woman because in their faith, thereligion of the children is the religion of the mother.  If you want to marry this guy, you need to convert to his faith.  My suggestion is to not do it because women are not treated equally in some Jewish sects.

I understand your position very well. Where I come from, the society finds it hard to accept inter-tribal marriages into the mainstream - surprisingly even if both of you are Muslims.\nIt is very hard to convince Muslim parents to accept an 'non-believing' daughter-in-law, mother of their grandchildren etc. In your case, one can say it is justifiable (Islam only allows Men to marry PIOUS Christian and Jewish Women). Conversion to Islam, may help soften their (Your Man's Parents') hard position; I don't know about your's. \nOne thing worthy of consideration is that, contrary to modern secular opinion, in deeply traditional societies like yours (and mine), one marries into a whole family, not just a member of that family. So, by marrying him, you are kind of, inducted to his entire brethren (and sisteren :P) and vice-versa. Although both of you are educated and having jobs of your own, you will be surprised to find out later after your wedding how deeply rooted in tradition both of you can be. You may end up judging one another according your individual religious/cultural standards, and THAT can be a problem ("ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME JUST THE WAY I AM; PERHAPS I MADE A MISTAKE!!!). This spell trouble with capital T! especially from the Man's point of view.\nI know you are seeking some 'constructive' ideas, but I can't help but be selfish. I'll want to advice for you to convert to Islam (with sincerity on your part and lots of help, patience and perseverance from your Man), get married with HIS parents blessings, move to another area (possibly another country - to lessen friction between families) and settle there.\nI hope this helps...\n(A-K-B)

I really didnt quite get that question of yours??\nAfrican and Hindi?? You do realise that Hindi is a language. Are you referring to Indian??\nBoy!! Compatibility is only in the mind. Castes, Creed, and Race should not matter. \nI have a lot of blood relatives based in Tanzania and SA. \nIf you feel you have what it takes to love a person no matter what, then you will stick with eachother.\nI dont think you should really worry about your respective races, because if you know Indians that way I do, they would not mind marrying you guys!! Indians face a lot more trouble marrying fellow indians whenever they of a different caste.\nGo right ahead with your head held high,\nPromise yourself that you will love her as much as you think you can.\nAll the best!!

The guy should not be shoving the religion down your throat.  It is up to you to convert when and if you ever are ready. It's not a requirement because Muslim men are able to marry women of the book (ie, Christian, Jew, etc), but if you want to have children in the future, it will become an issue because Muslims who marry outside the religion want their children to be raised Muslim.  I will tell you that being married to a Muslim is difficult, just as it may be with any man of any race or religion, but there are so many more rules and a lot of jealousy and insecurity for no apparent reason.  Best of luck to you. :)

I'm Italian and married a Mexican man. We've actually had to both learn and adopt eachother's traditions/cultures. For instance during Christmas many Mexican households eat Tamales and participate in Posadas. I have since learned how to make Tamales and visit his family in Mexico to do Posadas. My family always has fish on Christmas Eve, and doesn't eat meat on Fridays. My husband has accepted this traidition as well, and now enjoys it. It think it's fun to learn all the ways people keep their culture alive, and to celebrate them. It also has opened my eyes and it will be something we share with our children.

Caste will not be a problem, but your religions certainly will ! I am an Indian too, you see :\n...When this girl has asked you to wait for 2 more years, you are already busy broadcasting to everyone here that you love her [or are infatuated with her !]. \n...And the way you are publicising that 'she also loves me' [we have only your word for that, nor hers !], makes one feel that you mainly want to spoil her name and reputation - to make sure that nobody else marries her.\nYou do not come across as either a sensible, or responsible young man - and appear to have been brought up on a diet of Hindi films and TV serials, resulting in your imagining yourself as some tragic 'Majnu' pining for his 'Laila' !\n...Wake up to the realities of life, kid - and stop fooling yourself, and others !\nAnd learn proper English first - if you want to really progress in your life and career !
