Salaam,
Brothers & Sisters, i need help - i don't know if this is going to make sense but I will try my best
In a nut shell: I have known this girl for the last 2 years now and we have clicked in every which way possible; I would marry her in a heartbeat but only problem is she is an Orthandox Christian.
She is pious, has morals and etiquette which i have not met in any other girl of my own culture and shares a lot of the same beliefs.
Without stereotyping, a lot of girls from Asian culture from my City are the ones to avoid the most.
She is European and I am Asian.
There is no other man in the house and I accept I have all responsibilty over the women in my family. The woman I marry must ultimately care for and look after my mother. I admit I am fairly modern but also quite traditional in certain things.
Now obviously, she being non Muslim or Asian, she has a different culture and I am sure you all know this is a major factor for all families.
As for us Muslims, changing religion is something we would never consider, also for her as an Orthadox.
Do I let her go for families sake and ultimately sacrifice my own happiness? This is the more 'hassle-free' option after all when it comes to family because of culture and traditions etc etc. and lets not even go into being the talk of the community, but a hard sacrifice for me.
Or do I somehow talk to my family about her? After all Muslim males can marry women of Chrisitian faith?
Also, what are the technicalilties of this sort of marriage to comply with Shaariah?
All comments appreciated
