I've been dating a muslim guy for 4 years now, I'm a hindu girl. We are very much in love. His parents have known from day one about our relationship. They are OK w/ it. My parents have no idea. Any suggestions on how to break the news to them. Also it's kind of difficult because i'm very succesful and have been working for the past 2 years, and have been promoted twice. I make really good money. On the other hand my boyfriend has not finished college yet, he's struggling and lazy to do so....his family is very well educated and so is my family. I think this is going to be a second issue w/ telling them. That he has not completed his degree and doesn't have a great job. What should I do?

Loving him is the most important thing. If you are comfortable with him then you shouldn't worry about the educational issue. However,
you need to find out if his parents will be okay with you and him getting married.
The next thing is, i do not know where you are from but i know that in trinidad it is okay. Either converts to the other religion.
It sounds as though you came from a strict religious background. Just tell them as it is. You all could have two weddings if you all decide to get married.

In love Religion plays a secondary role.However, how much sure are you of his love for you.Has he decided to be dependent on you?Why has he not finished college yet whereas you are already well settled.Intellectually he doesn't appear to be fit for you.After love fades off, in later age ideas are what that remain.So matching of ideas & ideals/personality is what gives maximum satisfaction in life.
Remember your life is in your hands, but you must certainly do as parents say as they are your real wellwishers according to me.

I'm only asking..how can a Muslim marry a Hindu?
Muslim men can marry Christians and Jews but not Hindus..
Just that's what I noticed.

First of all, India and Pakistan fought a war and divided themselves along religious lines. Do you intend to separate yourself from your family? Also, it is clear that you may be attracted to the man, but he is not your kind. When you get into the day to day workings of marriage, he's going to get old fast.(I mean on your nerves.) Unless you are okay with getting married to satisfy your lust and later marry for true love, tradition and the family as an economic unit, then I say don't marry him.

I was with you all they way until you said he was lazy to get on with his schooling. Now I cannot give you an answer because you won't want to hear it. ;-)
