I would say that so long as your differing beliefs don't create a chasm btwn the two of you then go for it. I guess it would come down to how much of your relationship was kept wanting due to your core beliefs

OK,.. Here's the thing. To answer your question,..certainly no religion should interfere with love. If anything you would think the opposite would be the case. Unfortunately it doesn't always work that way. All to often, to many have to much to say and to many, foolishly, listen..and almost always for the wrong reasons.
Do not let others live your very precious one and only life.. You will live and eventually die regretting it if you do.
You might not want to hear this but,..
The base of all religions comes from the same place at around the same times give or take a thousand miles. All with-in a hundred years or so,- and all, and I repeat, all, those inspired to holy or spiritual writings at that time still believed the earth was flat but knew men were easily frightened. By demanding faith where proof has failed....
Mere mortal men have managed to hold powerful positions and establish large, almost always poor, blind followers based on those writings since. People with nothing have and will always hope for better. Having no choices and little else, all to many are willing to believe what they are promised. Through their faith and support of their beliefs they will be rewarded in heaven. So much for religion.
. Live honorable, love passionately, gain wisdom, be forgiving and charitable.Those are pretty good rules.

You should leave your religion and be converted to Hinduism to prosper your marriage to a Hindu guy. What I know is a crime against Islam, your religion, once a muslim girl marries a non-muslim guy. This is because in any tradition, the role of the father is to sustain or give food, shelter, health, education and other basic needs of his family. In other words, as a head of the family. He has the full control of every member of his family from himself, mother, children and any member as he wishes who is staying in his own premises or home. He can do what he believes more confortable and making them happy as a whole family. He can choose how he runs his family including what religion he wants to his family members. This is the very important role of the father that in Islam discouraged and prohibiting in its tradition, a muslim girl to be married into a non-muslim guy to protect and preserve her being a muslim and not be converted into another religion after her marriage. I hope this is clear to your mind that in Islam the purpose of two loving people to get marry is to bear children and teaching them into becoming a good muslims.
You have freedon to choose, either to be still a muslim girl not to get marry this hindu guy or beacuse you love this hindu guy you must be converted into a Hindu and pursue marrying him without the approval of your family and not in Islamic rites.

Perhaps this is a golden opportunity to talk with each other about this. I would look to see how Islam and Hindu teachings differ and how to work around that. If youre both able to do that, then go for it. Keep in mind, when you have children, what are you going to teach them?
Lastly, I dont know how Muslims and Hindus deal with forgiveness which is to me, the supreme act of love especially in a marriage. If you are both forgiving types and neither Muslim or Hindu teachings deals with that, then perhaps you both should look into Christianity. Lots of happiness to the both of you.

If you are planning to marry a man who is not the same religion as you, you need to be very clear in ALL your agreements BEFORE you wed even down to what the children will be raised as...........otherwise there might be some major problems down the track.
I personally agree with you, if you love someone it doesnt matter what religion you are, however I DO know that it can pose a BIG problem for some people.

I agree with you. Love is a wonderful thing - Religion doesn't matter because God is Love - different religions just have different names for the Almighty. God wan'ts happiness and love, so all those people out there arguing with you are wrong - if they want to see you happy, then they will agree that love is above all.

It's easier on the relationship if the couple has the same religious backgrounds, but it's not necessary for that to be the case. You just need to make sure that you are in agreement BEFORE you marry and have children of any issues that might come up...like, what faith are the children going to be raised as, what holidays are you going to celebrate...

I personally believe that God is Love, and that god ordained marriage to be between a man and a woman. And if a man and a woman love each other and want to make that commitment to get married, that is their decision, and no one elses. I think it's wrong that people are so quick to judge, and not see the real love there.
