do muslim parents accept that their son marry christian girl?

Answer 1

Dear,

Yes

In my community, the Malays in Malaysia mostly accept the situation. Later normally the christian girl (the wife) converted to the religion of ISLAM (Muslim).

Answer 2

Depends. Muslim parents vary all over the world. Most of them, however, will accept this situation with the hope that the husband will eventually convert his wife. In many Muslim cultures, however, the same does not go for Muslim women, who can only marry Muslim men. This may seem sexist, on the surface, but there is actually a practical reason for this: men have power in most societies (arguably even ours). This makes it less likely a woman could successfully convert their spouse, so many Muslim parents forbid it.

p.s. The fact that so many people here outright said "No" just goes to show how ignorant most of us really are about Islam. I have evidence it isn't true, however, because my best friend had to convert to Islam to marry his Muslim wife. Her brothers, on the other hand, all married Christian and Hindu wives. Interesting.

Answer 3

well ... maybe we should answer it one by one. 1. Yes. It should not be a problem if you love each other. The real issue is as always: Religion is a family issue. Not many family embraces the differences in religion is natural, as does skin color, hair colors, tattoos, and gullibility of thoughts. If you manage to get your partner to accept that having different religion is natural, then all the problem will disappear 2. Should you two get married? If I was the parent: I would slap my eldest son on the face and asked him to take it as a man. Married the girl and try to built a successful households. A person (man/woman) who can't take responsibility of his/her own action is not worthy of appreciation. 3. Should he tell his parent? Obviously. But what most important is make decision and then tell his parent. If the parent is not so traditional they will value his courage to be a responsible person than a pious cowards. That's your answer. Good luck and hope you find resolution into these problems.

Answer 4

that depends on how religious they are..

This is the same as asking if Catholic parents would let their son marry a muslim girl or if Jewish parents would let their son marry a christian girl.

In short, this is really a case by case thing.. But all the 'no' answers you got are wrong, since there is a fair share of muslims marrying inter-religion with the consent of their parents. It is basically a question of open-mindedness.

Obvisouly, I am referring to civil weddings, not religious weddings.

Answer 5

This is really down to each individual parent, you cannot give one answer for all Muslim parents. I have a friend who's family is very strict and would be very disapproving of this union, but my other friend's father says he is only concerned that his daughter is loved and well looked after, so attitudes vary.

Answer 6

Don't listen to the people saying no because it's not based on the religion, it's based on the parents attitude towards other religions and how strict they are on their own religion. My mum's christian and my dads muslim and they're both happy and so are their parents.

Answer 7

Well, if it happens then you really have no choice...it's either that or just not have much of a relationship w/them. You may not be happy w/their decision, but it is their life and they are free to choose who they marry.

Answer 8

Not normaly....but that is a blanket answer. You never know what the parents and individual may think. They may over look it. So it all depends

Answer 9

yes
as a muslim I would say
If girl converted to Islam
otherwise not
because our religion not allowed us

Answer 10

the only way that will happen is if the girl takes her husbands religion which if he's a practicing muslim she will have too.
