Dear
Egyptian Castle,
I
am not Egyptian
but my boyfriend
is. I am Christian
and he is
obviously Muslim,
the problem is
that my parents
do not allow me
to marry him,
even though I
love him dearly.
They don't
believe in
interfaith
marriages, I am
very confused,
should I leave
him to respect
my family or
stay with the
man I love and
ruin my
family...please
write back |
Dear
Jennifer,
Interfaith
marriages is a
very serious
issue and all
parties must be
able to deal
with it .. It is
obvious that
your parents
can't do that or
accept
it... You
have to take
your parents wisdom
and their worry
about your well-being
into
consideration.
They look at it
years from now
and how it could
affect you and
their
grandchildren.
In the meantime
how do you
personally feel
about marrying
someone with a
different
religion, let
alone a
different
culture .. how
were you brought
up .. can you
really tolerate
dealing with a
different
religion you
probably know
nothing about
??
Can you accept
the fact that
your children
must become also
Muslims, when
you marry a Muslim
man?
Your answer to
these basic
questions should
lead you to make
your own
decision.
If you feel that
you can cope
with these facts
and be on your
own without your
family's
support, than
all the
blessings to you
and if your
answer to any of
these questions
is hesitation
and confusion,
than for god
sake don't marry
him and listen
to your parents.
Marriage is a
package of many
values and
aspects, love is
only one of
them. We
wish you all the
best. |
