I'm a hindu boy and my girl friend is muslim. She is ready to change her religion. Will it be ethical to change her religion?? We love each other very much and we will do marriage for sure. Also I'd like to know how one can change the religion and convert to hindu.

The 2 shall become 1. Marriage is Not only a legal arrangement between partners. Marriage is a bonding of 2 relationships into 1 unified persona. Love is about surrender, self sacrifice, submission of self for the betterment of the loving relationship. When a man and women achieve this blending of self for the betterment of their partner, than human love increases, flourishes, and improves the lives of the 2 for the 1.
Religion, lifestyles, finances, discipline, love, communication, goals are all areas where men and women must resolve, or investigate, and surrender to new formation as a couple. This process may take years, or may never be totally attained. Love keeps working, growing, hoping, surrendering, submissing, self sacrificing. Love is always saying your sorry, and moving to the future.
God Bless.

Changing ones religion is a personal reason for matters of spiritutality. Changing it just for marriage is a a fallacy: how can you be a true believer if you changed just to fit in?
As far as the ethics are concerned, it's also an individual decision. As a muslim, I would not under any circumstances change my religion. However, your girlfriends situation is different. She should (IMO) do it if and only if she shares your religious beliefs.
I do not know if you can convert to Hinduism. If you're of Indian origin some priests will take you as a "revert" with the belief that our ancestors were Hindu once.
The key is that you are willing to accept the consequences (family, society etc.) of your joint decision.
Good luck to you both.

Huh, you are a hindu boy and you want to convert to Hinduism. What is your current religion?Are you happy with it or not.Figure your self out first then see if the two of you want to be in the same religion.
No it is not wrong to Convert as long as its your choich thats its not being forced onto you.
The same with your friend its ok as long as you are not forcing her or any of her family are to marry you.

The religion, or combination of religions, or no religion that one follows is a matter of free choice based on the needs one feels in their own life. It is most certainly ethical and I wish you much happiness in your lives together.

It is ethical if she has researched it and finds yours is the truth. You would have to ask your Hindu religious leader how converting is handled. Good luck in your marriage.

My understanding is that one cannot convert to Hinduism. But I don't know if this includes marriage. On the other hand, that love bond you have can be more important than religious identity. Your families attitudes are really the most important factor. Will they support your decision? Good luck on this!

Nothing un ethical about it if she wants to change it...if you are forcing her to convert thats different if she can maintain her religion and still marry you that will be even better....why can't she stay muslim and still marry you?

Well if you both get along great now then keep the same religions you both have. Just don't let it affect you two in the future. But if you think it will cause problems, then by all means if it is ok, have her or you switch religions.

Yours is not a question of ethicality, but of religious consequence.
If your girl changes her religion, best not tell anyone, the Koran says she has to die if she abandons Islam.

All I know is that I would not give my whole heart and soul over to any higher power unless I knew for sure it was the truth. If anyone even considers changing their beliefs for anybody, then they might as well do it, because just the act of considering it, means they never really knew it to be truth!!
