what is intermarried?

Question

what is the opinion on intermarriage?
should it be encouraged?

Answer 1

Interreligious marriage, traditionally (especially in the Catholic Church) called mixed marriage, is marriage (either religious or civil) between partners professing different religions. Some religions prohibit interreligious marriage, while other religions allow it.

Reasons for prohibition
Most religions prohibit interreligious marriage. Such prohibitions have a number of reasons:

Many religions view their rules on marriage as commandments from God.
Some religions view themselves as a priestly people, with a specific mission to carry out.
Many religions allow their adherents to marry someone from outside of their faith if the partner converts.
Many people believe that introducing two contradictory belief systems into a marriage is grounds for marital strife, and increases the rate of divorce.
Many people believe that having parents of two opposing religions causes psychological stress on the children in such a marriage, as they often are effectively forced to choose one parent over another.
Religious intolerance. A person professing a different faith is considered inferior and not worth marrying.
The possibility of temptation to "wrong" practices by the "outsider" spouse, as well as the possibility of the children groing up in the "other" faith, or torn between two faiths.
Some religions, such as the Druze religion, are closed communities and do not accept new members, whether through marriage or through conversion.
When a man and a woman professing different religions want to marry, they seldom can do so without disobeying both of these religions. They have then the following possibilities, apart from abandoning the idea:

Concubinage
Civil marriage
In some cases, one of the two religions does allow interreligious marriage. In this case, a wedding can be held according to the ritual of that religion, and only one of the partners breaks the law of his or her religion.
One of the partners can convert to the other partner's faith.

Famous interreligious marriages
Notably, in Christian mythology, delineating Jesus Christ's genealogy from a Jewish perspective, the Gospel of Matthew mentions a number of interreligious marriages in his lineage: those of Judah and Tamar, and of Ruth and Boaz, mentioned above, as well as Rahab, the prostitute of Jericho who aided the Israelites in taking that city, with the Israelite prince Salmon

Answer 2

Well, these days it could mean marriage between a man and a woman - now there's a novelty!
Marrying someone who is not your first cousin? Marrying someone from the next village or county? A Prot marrying a Catholic? Etc. etc.

Depends how bigoted the family is.

In this case the Jews have found a solution. When there is intermarriage between religions, the children take the religion of the mother. Saves a lot of argument.

Sad world we live in.

Answer 4

Intermarriage is when two people from different cultures or races get married. I have no problem witht this i think that if two people love each other then they should do what makes them happy. I think it should neither be encouraged or discouraged. Love is what it is and we can't follow a set of ules as to who we are attracted to.

Answer 5
