Hindu Muslim marriage

by Anonymous

Hello,


I am in a 5yr relationship and my bf is a muslim, we had discussions in the earlier stages of relationship that I will not have to accept Islam and we will have a court marriage. Things took a u turn when he spoke to his parents reg the wedding. They are absolutely against it and they would omly agree if I convert to Islam.

I dont think i can take the responsibility of converting and being happy. I love him a lot and so does he.. He never forced me for conversion but their parents are the reason. He and his parents are giving me the liberty to live my life my way even after conversion and to only do this for the happiness of his parents and the community. I am still very skeptical and don't want to regret later in life.

I dont want to stretch this any further if there is no future but my heart doesn't agree and he is a very kind hearted person and I dont want to miss him.
