I have a brother, in his early twenties. He's in love with a girl and they are so much into each other but both parents(his & d girl's) are against their relationship because the girl is a xtian nd we are muslims.

My parents believe it can't work and d girl's parents believe d same too. Its so hard for them to let go but moving on is hard.

I love my brother so much and i hate to know he is unhappy but i just don't know what to do.
The issue is really affecting him....

NLers, i need ur advice please....
should they let go? or is there any possible solution?

Thanks in anticipation

They should split. No sentiments when religion is involved. Christianity spurns it.

If they are so in love with each other, why can't one join the other's religion.

He should let go.

You can have a bad spouse but bad in-laws is lethal. They should let go patapata, love is blind but marriage na eye opener.

Fúck Religion.

It's only been keeping ya on moral track since ages nothing more.

The only advisable thing to do,is for them to breakup,though it'll be hard,but its the best thing.
There are 160 million + people in Nigeria,60% are females,he would surely find a soul mate.
Or why don't they elope

Am happy with watever he decides but he' my only bro, i can't stand seeing him hurt...
He loves her nd she also loves him...

Like I said, I won't compromise someone's religion all in the name of love, unless I'm planning to convert them.

if they get married who will convert who to him or her own religion. it's better they split

The parents won't let them.

Thanks for d advice

MrPearce:
if they get married. who will convert who. sure u wouldn't like u brother to become a Muslim

We are muslims, d girl is a xtian

Since both parents know what is happening..
There is a way u can act as the intermediary... Don't u watch India movies..

Sith both parents down and talk to them.. Make them understand why these two should be together.. Thank me later..

Btw, how old is your brother

Good.. That age is man enough..
Just do wat I said.. I believe you can change their hearts..

If both parents re nt ready to compromise i think its beta dey split cos dey nid d blessings of dier parents, nd if dey decide to elope which i dont advice it wont solve d issue unless d lady is ready to convert to d man's religion so it wont cause prob in d future.

Yeah

Thank you all

Been happy with your spouse and at the same time not happy with your parents (in-laws) doesn't sounds good!
I mean it's hard for both parents to compromise with this act! Life is too short, they earlier the decide to let go the better for them!
Don't blame the parents though, because if am in the shoe of any (their parents) I wouldn't 've allowed it as well.

All dis muslims and thr religious racism mindset. Well I support dr split up, d girl should knw dat d bible says be ye not equally yoked wit an unbeliever.

All lot of Nigerians are myopic and blinded by religion. How old is ur brother? For how long will he let ur parent control his life?
Please tell him to stand his ground. He shouldnt leave a girl he loves so much just becuz sum piple are uncomfortable with it.
The both of them have different religious background, they love each other & have been perfect together. Now some 3rd party are uncomfortable with it.
Please its time ur brother and his Girlfriend stick togeda. Tell their parents it is who He/She wants or nobody else.
People will come here and quote crap based on their selfish reasons but i will tell u this. Your parent have lived their own life, made their own choices as they deem fit. Its now ur brothers turn to live his.
I grew up in a multi-religious home. Dad's a deep muslim, Alhaji for that matter. My Mum is also a christian. They have a wonderful marriage.
Nigeria is such a retrogressive country, parents try to control d lives of grown ups & it is because of things like this that people end up leaving the one they love for somebody they will regret being with for the rest of their lives.
