A friend of ours have just had a beautiful baby boy, however they are now having religious issues. Mums a Catholic & Dads a Muslim. The baby's full time carer is the mother as they do not live together but remain in a relationship. The mother has agreed for their son to have a circumsition based on health reasons however the father is not willing to compromise for their son to be baptised. What shall they do?

The mother needs to tell the father she gave birth to that child and she is going to have her son baptised and if he don't like it, too damn bad.

Unless they live in a place with laws on this situation, the mother's wishes clearly prevail since she is raising the baby full time and the father lives separately.
Sadly, this is something that should have been discussed and decided before they had this baby, and this question should serve as a heads-up to anyone else out there contemplating an interfaith relationship: Discuss Everything First!!

This should have been decided prior to the marriage. Now, that it has not been raise the child as either a religious or bi-religious and let the child choose his religion on attaining majority.
The child will not lose anything if he is given best of both the worlds, but will definitely lose if your relationship suffers because of this as he needs both.
Be mature before deciding anything, even if you have to let go this matter the other way. The child will remain the same, only you both need to widen your horizons, even if it is for the sake of the child.

Father being a muslim not allowing the suggestion of his wife,eventhough she is a catholic.
Her reasoning is very correct.
Good sense must prevail for the husband otherwise his wife must yield to his Idea.
They need to compromise as they compromise for maintaining the relationship.

and let the fun begin....
perhaps they should have thought this thing out BEFORE having a baby...
since the mother is the primary care giver she will be the one to make those decisions.
she best make sure he doesn't trot the kid across any borders... she will never see the child again!!!!!
i speak from personal experience of a friend of mine.....

this should have been discussed before the relationship went to far. now do you all understand why you are not supposed to marry out of your religion or out of your ethnic group ! a hell of allot less confusion that way! but i hope the mother does it anyway, fathers consent or not.

Is it possible to have the child baptised twice?

Wait and let the child decide if he wants to be baptized when he's old enough.
