Certainly in America, you can marry whomsoever (as long as you're not gay, presently)

Noone can convert to a different race. That is based on heredity. You probably mean religion. In the West we don't have such primitive laws. People here can marry any person of any creed or religion. Canada is more advanced than the US in that people of same sex can marry. Malaysia, like many other muslim countries are still in the dark ages when it comes to individual and democratic freedoms.

If you are thinking of moving to the United States then there are no laws or regulations on who can marry besides same sex. Race doesn't play into it. Culturally though it may be frowned upon by local leaders in your church or community. But no, nobody can tell you you can't marry because of what race you are. This also goes for most of Europe. Although, same sex is recognized in some countries.

Here in the UK you can do what you want.
You seem to be confusing race with religion, though. Muslim is a religion, Indian is a race. Your Muslim leadres will insist on your boyfriend converting to Muslim as well before they bless your union, whichever country you live in.
Maybe you need to get those sorts of details clear in your head before anything else.

You can marry legally in the United States, without either of you needing to convert to a different religion. Good luck!

In your neighbor country, the Philippines, a man and a woman can get married even if their religions are different from each other. There is no legal requirement for either one to convert to the potential spouse's religion.

I believe you meant by converting religion right? It is not possible to convert races. You can't convert from malay to indian or chinese to african etc. Don't think it is easy to migrate to another country just like that. Consider the differences in culture, environment, society behaviour etc. I bet you it is not like what you see on teevee.

In America, many people are married to someone of another race. It is socially acceptable and and love is all that matters.

In North America and in Western Europe you're free to marry whoever you want. Moving there can be a big challenge though...

In many western nations, you can marry regardless of religion.
The problem wouldn't be a legal one but more a social one within the home, especially if both religions have conflicting beliefs.

Yes, it is possible here. A lot of the stigma that comes with a mixed race couple isn't so strong anymore, from what I have seen anyway.
