I have plenty of christian/catholic friends who are very happily married to Muslim men.  If you truly have fears first of all you should sit and talk to her without predjiduce. Announce your fears to her and ask her questions kindly.  \nShe does not have to become Muslim if she does not want to. It is her personal choice. He can marry her without her conversion into Islam.  But if he is trying to force her now I would suggest to her to leave him.  If it is important for her to remain Christian tell her to make that 100 % clear to the man she is seeing.\nAs for their children together: they will have  to be Muslim. If this is a problem for your daughter she should reconsider her future with this man.   A Muslim man raises Muslim children, it is his blood right (as the blood right of the Jewish belong to the mother) \n\nI have seen it work out every time. But that is only my personal experience and witness.  \n\nDon't let him force her into anything.  It is against Islam for the man to force her into mairrage, or to demand she give up her faith.  Muslim men Can marry Christians and Jews.  Good luck and God bless.

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.

I don't think it has much to do with religion.  Sounds to me like her parents are trying to keep her head glued on straight.  You're young, enjoy the dating while it lasts.  Women under 23 and men under 28 aren't marriage material anyways.

In my opinion.  You should not introduce your kids to someone you are dating, unless you know for sure that you are planning a future together....\n\nIf it doesn't work out, and you start dating someone else.  The kids won't be meeting different people....\n\nSee where the relationship is going first.....\n\nGOOD LUCK!

i live in a predominantly muslim country, ...several of my friends were previously christian, then converted to islam to marry their man... my observations are:\nAdvantage 1: you'll never have to worry if or not he is cheating cuz he is allowed to have up to 4 wives! oh, n they dont have to be legally married, title of mistress is good enough (but he has to financially support them)\nAdvantage 2: if ur intrested in converting to islam, here's your chance! moslems aren't allowed to marry anyone of a different faith.\nAdvantage 3: he's definately circumcised and your sons will be as well - this slippery operation is done at age 12.\nAdvantage 4: he will have 100% control over you. spousal abuse is not frowned on in the moslem religion\nAdvantage 5: in order to marry him, u need to convert first. this is a tedious process if done "correctly." oh, u'll have to learn arabic as well.\nAdvantage 7: if ur more of a "service" type personallity, this religion will suit you very well because the wife's role is to literally serve her husband (its not reciprocal) if he wants hot coffee, u'd better make it quick girl!\nAdvantage 6: when ur married, you'll be moslem, and guess what?!! its a sin (a really bad sin) to refuse ur husband sexually\n\nDisdavantages: none or all of the above...depending on ur point of view\n\noh, a word of caution, the moslem men act very "normal" while ur dating. after u marry, well....

First of all, it's not wrong !! Don't ever say that b/c thats just what others believe. If you two been together for 3 months and you honestly really care for one another than you are going to have to talk to her and let her know how you feel about the whole situation. It shouldn't really matter what religion she chooses to go to b/c if she really loves you and you really love her then why should either of you allow a book that someone else wrote run you guys relationship down. If you feel that she deserves you and that you deserve her and yall make each other happy then GIRL please live life the best way known how b/c to be real with you, you know like I know that we are only granted with one life to live!!!!!!You midestwell live it being happy, you aren't hurting anyone else by doing that!!\nGOOD LUCK ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!!!!!

If both the people are mature and don't worry about what their family thinks or the people around them, then yes I think it can work. But then again it's not good to be unequally yoked if religion is important to both the people involved, because that could lead to serious problems for the parents and the children.

u keep being christian..it's up to her whether or not she wants to be religious...I'm 15 myself & I go to church on my own but sometimes when I go I feel like they're trying to shove me into the baptism pool...& one thing that can turn ppl off from religion r the religious nuts out there that think they're so high & mighty doing gods work but they end up looking down on other ppl & going against the commandments...I suggest letting her be but if she starts going out of control because she decides she's atheist then there is a problem...just keep being a good parent & let her breathe\n\nMy English teacher recently told me the most wonderful thing I probably ever heard....Our generaion is really smart because we like to question everything & that intimidates some people...If your daughter feels like questioning just let her... & don't ignore her cuz then she might not want to talk to you anymore

As a child of a serious Christian Mother I think that you just have to tell her or let her think what she wants. I converted to Islam last year she knows but does not want to admit it. I let her live in her dream world but know deep inside she knows the truth.

actually.\nits VERY RECOMMENDED and probably a MUST to have both male and female of a married couple being God-fearing Christians.\n\nbecause, in that way, both would have more of God's grace and fervour.\nand that they can pull each other to be even more on fire with God. \nand it would be very hard for either side to backslide.\nmany advantages of having a both christian couple\n\nif any Christian girl says that, but looks more into the looks , money, stature, then God wouldnt really look upon the couple with favour.\n\nand that girl isnt really a 'on fire' type of Christian.\nnot that i'm saying i am.. but after all, its not for US to judge , but for God to judge.\n\nand yes im a girl, and i havent even gotten  my first boyfriend yet, but if i ever have a non-christian bf, it wont last, cos i wont let it last.\nwith my little faith, i believe that God will be pleased if even i break up a stead relationship with a nonchristian guy :D

I have been with my girlfriend for 8 years . she is 27 yrs older than me. Age is not a factor unless you are  looking for sex then wait till you are 18. in the meantime ask her out . And do not worry about the fact her father is a pastor: today is not  where the ministers of this world teach fire and brimstone!!! If you are a respectable man than the pastor will have no problem with you seeing his daughter.

Well, i think that when there are different faiths involved both spouses have to be open minded and they have to communicate with each other about their different religions/ faith. I am not married but i am in a relationship where we both have different religions. We talk about it and we try to know or to learn about the different religion. Mostly because of curiosity but also b/c we have to set boundaries. So if you talk to them and make sure they know how you feel then it'll be alright, but also as long you each of you do not try to impose their religion on each other. Just be open minded and talk about it.

Converting to islam is good. It is good that you first research the religion first before converting. Dont convert because he says so. My husband is muslim and i am christain. We have been together for 5 years. You decide what would be best for your child. Dont convert for the heck of it. Do it for you. We have decided that when we do have children(inshallah) they will be raised muslim.  If he loves you for YOU, then do what you think is best. Dont let him tell you what you need to do. Talk to him about this, and talk to other people too. Email me if you want any information.

Maybe it's a culture thing her parents may not approve of her dating outside of her race. Find out first before you take it personally. Good luck.

No. There is always something they are going to be conected by, their child whether you like it or not. They will have a lot of issues as parents that they need to talk about. If you love his child at all, you will be greatful for that because the child has both his parents in his life and they get along which is even better.

Muslim or non-Muslim, it don't matter... love is where the heart is and no matter how we each feel about the other, if its meant to be it will be.......
