Question

dont think its a problem, long as you are both happy.

Answer 2

Multirace marriages will have have a good and strength descendent according to islamic teaching.Indian will marry a Christian is not called a multi races marriage if the Christian also an Indian.Religion is not relevant here.One race may have many religions such as Hindu,Christian,Buddha,Islam etc..Multirace marriges wiil occured if the husband and the wife do not come from the same race with the same religion or not.In multirace marriage our children will be stronger,smarter and cleverer if they raised up in a good condition.

Answer 3

It really depends. In principal its a good thing that people can be colour blind in ove but then the reality can set in. I know a caucasian girl who married an indian guy and her father refused to agknowledge the union and didn't attend the wedding. They had a child and then got divorced because of the pressure I think. Now the child is darker and lives with her lighter mother and has difficulty coming to terms with the difference. She also doesn't see her father.

So it can all get very complicated at some stages. But I suppose not with everyone. I am just volunteering an example.

Answer 4

I'm getting married next year. I'm black and my fiance is white. We've been together for nearly 4 years and still very much in love. My mum wasn't too keen at first but when she saw how much we loved each other she came round.

I started going out with him because we had common interests. Personally, I don't think that race should be an issue when looking for a partner. As long as you embrace your similarities and accept (but not ignore) your differences, you will stand a much better chance at having a good relationship.

Answer 5

It would have been 30 years ago. Yet Cheryl Tweedy of 'Girls Aloud' married Ashley Cole the other week, and nobody made an issue of it. Thank goodness perception and ignorance is changing for the better.

Answer 6

I think the first thing is to listen to your heart !!!!
Though I know it is not easy, specially with different religious backgrounds. If you're lucky you might have both understanding parents, to which you both can talk to, and convince them of your Love. If not you have to decide what is more important to you your family or the woman/man you love. You really should be sure that he or she is the right one and that you know them long enough!!!, Dont just fall in love and give up everything for someone you just met....

Good Luck

Answer 7

multi-race marriage signifies two people that see beyond their cultural,racial,religious and ethnic differences and want to live together and show love to each other, obviously i support it and term it a good thing. i am of African descent but can marry from any part of the world, i believe its all about recognising the inside beauty of a person and not external features or archaic ideologies.

Answer 8

A Human being is a human being whatever the colour of their skin. I am sure you are aware that the same red blood flows through our veins whether you are red , black white or brown. my point is if you love somebody, dont be put off by their colour. You must howevr be prepared to face the attendant prejudices!

Answer 9

marriage is good. so if it happens to be between people of different races, then whatever. the only bad thing about it is reactions from other people who do not like multiracial marriages. but other people don't matter, unless they are setting your house on fire because of it. if people get violent, endure or move. if friends refuse to accept it, then you should re-evaluate your friendships or just tell them to shut up and to respect your spouse. unfortunately religious differences may be even harder to deal with.

Answer 10

Well my mum is black and my dad is white irish, I know that my dad's mum was against them marrying and my mum and nana never really got on, on my mum and dad's wedding photo there is only them two and my mum's mum and step-father so I think nearly everyone was against my dad marrying my mum but, nearly 30 years later they are still together. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't just like any other marriage.

Answer 11

Love is a unifying force and once two people decide they love each other it's a wonderful thing iregardless of their race,height or Religion!
