I met someone while travelling in the middle east and he has told his family about me but they have said they don't agree. Are they ever likely to change their minds?

hun,im muslim arabian from saudi arabia so i know about arabian families .. islam allowed men to marry jewish/christian/muslims woman theres NOTHING wrong with it
arabian famillies find it lil odd not all families tho
what he neeeds to do is go to his family and just easily say " if god allows it then why ur against it ".. if i were him and i love u enough to marry you i would marry you not caring about my family because i didnt do anything wrong !!! i would marry you even the king of saudi arabia asked me not to ...
anyone on earth can say " nah its wrong"
by the way .. maybe you will have a better life if u marry him and he;ll have fun a better life too ..
but you really need to work things out from time to time .. sometimes love isnt enough
good luck!!
bye

Some families do. We are not all the same. I suppose the ones who do not pray (yes some don't) do not care if u remain a Christian. Maybe if they are sure that the kids will not follow your religion, sorry to say this, but even Muslims who do not pray, do like Islam. Some parents prevent their sons/daughters from marrying another who they 'think' is not right. We are very protective to the point that we think even a mature son cannot choose right, especially when he is blinded by love. This is not Islam's fault, it is the culture. God only knows if they change their minds about you.

No, you do not have to convert. The only reason they would not accept you is if they are extremists, are uneducated, and stuck in the ice ages. My husband is from Pakistan. His family had no problems with me whatsoever. in Islam, a man is allowed to marry a muslim woman or a christian woman. There is nothing that says she must convert or that his family must hate you for not being a muslim. I later converted, but before that I had travelled there. His mother loved me so much she actually dressed me up in a gold jewellry 21 kt gold set that first hour, put gold bangles on my arms, had henna designs on my hands and feet, and bought me tons of clothing. The rest of his family was the same way. But then again, they are also educated, well, the ones over there anyway. Him and his brother, not so much.

In Islam a Muslim man is allowed to Marry a Christian lady, so religiously it is allowed. However they may be worried for him as it may be difficult for you both to practice your religions. Some cultures do not like for people to marry outside of their religion. I think that if you are a practicing Christian they are likely to change their minds for the happiness of their son. Islam and Christianity have a lot in common and many people are in this sort of relationship and are very happy. I wish you all the best.

In Islam a man is actually allowed to marry a non muslim woman, but it's probably just his family that are not accepting you. If you are willing to convert...that may help.

Nope. The hard feelings between Christians and Muslims go back many centuries. I don't blame the Muslims, I blame the Pope at the time of The Crusades. You aren't going to change their minds. What you need to do is pray about this. Ask him to do the same. Please let us know what you figure out.

A Muslim man is permitted to marry a woman from the Christian and Jewish faith.

A Muslim man can marry a woman of any religion, but wether his family would accept you or not, I'm unsure.

Its perfectly legal and allowed in our religion..
But it depnds on the mother....and rest of the family if they like u and all.
Besides I think kids get doble minded as to whose religon to follow..which causes problems for parents...
So u better think twice before taking any step..
Islam allows this marriage.
My mom would be quite upset if my bro married a christian for the reason that shes evry religious and that she would want her daughetr i law and her grand childrento be religious too!!
A mother does have alot of influence! and then ur children mightbecome chritians too.

It's better for Christians not to marry outside the faith. The Bible says so. It may cause all sorts of strife.
