I'am a christian and my fiance is a muslim and we love each other, but my family does not want me to marry a muslim guy. pls advice.

This thread would have been better posted in the romance aspect of the general discussion and not business.

I think the poster of the thread is new on the site, I hope the admin can move the post to romance.


Answer to the question - it is a difficult one because ideally Husband and wife should be worshipping at the same church or religion.

Are you willing to give up your religion for his or is he willing to give up his?

Would his immediate and extended family frown like yours has frown?

Even if he agrees to change his religion and becomes a christian would his friends not say that you are controlling him ? traditionally our Brothers in the Islamic faith are allowed by their religion a polygamus relationship, have you thought and actually discuss this and what is his opinion?
Since his religion permits him to marry more, if he does what would you do?


When you finally make it to the wedding day, in which religion are you going to marry and worship? and I prayed that God bless you with Children which religion would they adopt? presumably as in Nigeria- the fathers, are you going to be happy for them to go mosque?

All the above are part of the variances which you have to consider and then satisfy yourself that you can live with the consequences which in fact is not too different if you have been both christian or moslem except that you both we be thinking it is because our religion is different.

For instance my Grandfather who is a christian marry my grandmother who is a moslem and they both serve God as in Christian and moslem till their passing away and no problem.

All the children went to Church and during the moslem festival the children and we the grandchildren went to mosque for foods and 'merryment'

Ultimately it depends on both parties but wife's parent in Nigeria tends to have more impact on the womans life because if anything went pearshaped the woman parent will say ' we told you so'

You have to ultimately make up your mind whether you are going to be RUTH and pray and work and take any side effects that it might throw at you.

Good luck.
