Do you think females should convert their religion after marriage (inter religion) and why?

Question

As in present days Love marriages are common but after that the question of converting religion comes in . . . then how should the couples deel with it....?

Answer 1

THE CONVERTING OF ONE'S RELIGION SHOULD BE DONE ONLY IF THAT PERSON FEELS THAT HIS SPOUSE'S RELIGION RESPONDS BEST TO HOW HE FEELS ABOUT GOD AND LIFE ITSELF. I DON'T THINK THAT AFTER MARRIAGE OF TWO PEOPLE OF TWO DIFFERENT RELIGIONS THE WIFE SHOULD ACCEPT THE HUSBAND'S RELIGION IF IT CONTROVERSES WITH HER OWN POINT OF VIEW. I ALSO THINK THAT'S A QUESTION OF CHOICE. IF IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE HUSBAND, WHY NOT?! BUT ONLY IF SHE AGREES WITH THAT.

Answer 2

I don't believe in conversion. I believe in freedom of religion. And freedom includes the choice not to have a religion at all.



I also don't believe in sexism. Why should the woman be the one who has to convert? Why not the man?



Some people claim they want to do what they want to do for the sake of the kids. Trust me, the religious beliefs (if any) that are imposed on children don't necessarily stick. Kids grow up, get a mind of their own, leave the roost, and susbsequently make their own decisions about religion.



I was raised Catholic, in a little hick town in the state of Maine in the USA. I was led to believe that the only other religion in the world was Protestant and that those practicing that religion were evil. When I grew up, left home, met other people (in the military) I learned differently. There are good and bad people everywhere, and their choices concerning the many religions available have no bearing on whether they are good or bad. Today, I'm an athiest who couldn't care less what people believe in terms of religion. In my opinion, it's their choice. Let their intelligence or lack of it guide them. And that applies to me too. I could have made my choice because of intelligence or because ignorance. Someday, when I walk away from this life (just as I walked away from home) I'll find out. The only thing I feel confident about in terms of religion is that I didn't make my choice based on fear. And when I die, believe it or not, I think I'll have the last laugh.

Answer 3

NO NO, when a couple plan to marry they should respect each others religions, way of life and NOT try to change them, if you did change them, then they would not be the person that you fell in love with and married. No one has the right to dictate to anyone, not husbnd, not wife. You are both equals and should treat each other as so. You married because you want to be together but that does not give anyone the right of ownership. The only person we all belong to is God and we are leant to people and we can be called back home at any time. A person's religion is sacred, a matter of choice for them and them alone

Answer 4

Why should women be the only ones to change their name,location lifestyle and even religion after marriage?

Arnt men brave enough?

Anyway,the best way to deal with inter-religion marriages is that both the man and woman involved must understand and respect each other's religion.One must decide beforehand what is to be taught to the kids rather than fighting over it later.

Trying to change the other person after marriage is unacceptable.

Marriage is about accepting each other as you are.

Just be tolerant.Be friends.And dont let people and their remarks affect you.

Adjustment is the key to every marriage love or arranged,inter-caste or intra-caste.But this does not mean that one has to sacrifice one's beliefs and identity.

Answer 5

what is the issue then . inter religion marriage are love marriages and when two people agree to get married after falling in love then why will there be a dispute on changing religion.

Answer 6

Yes and No

For there to be unity in marriage its important to have unity in worship and believe. In most cases ladies are forced to conform to the religion of the husband but i feel it should not always be the case.

There should be a serious discussion between the couples about the subject thereof and they should visit each others religion before making the final decision. Then they should decide on which religion they can both follow.

It may sound easy said than done, but when one of them is strong believer of certain doctrine it may be very hand to change him or her, but love can conquer all.

So friend before you ask another question, ask yourself how do you view the other religion, who do they believe in, can i conform to their doctrines, ....................... Good day [e-mail]

Answer 7

I think that in a love marriage love is the only religion to be followed so none of them should change their religion but rather respect each others religion.

Answer 8

persons of distinctive religions shouldn't get married. The be responsive to our lord god 2 Corinthians 6:14 -15 14Do no longer be yoked alongside with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in undemanding? Or what fellowship can mild have with darkness? 15What team spirit is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in undemanding with an unbeliever?

Answer 9

Religions are beliefs systems. If you want your wife to change her religion then you want her to change her beliefs. You should just enjoy each other and share your time together. If she doesn't change her belief then live with it. She became the person you came to love in part because of her belief. Are you now wanting her to be someone different than the woman you fell in love with. If you have kids. Teach them both and let them choose based on what you both have taught them. Religion is a personal thing. Not a community thing.

Answer 10

If they feel like doing it afterwards, it is fine. One has got the right to follow any religion or faith, one likes to.



But if it is a pre-condition or imposed afterwards, it is not worth it. Even changing the religion to get married (say for example, people converting to 'islam' just because it permits polygamy) should not be approved.



We should have equal respect if not faith towards all religions...

Answer 11

I don't think anyone should convert their religion unless they WANT to. None should be required to do so and I would never ever ask that of my fiancee and he would never ask that of me. Then again I am very thankful that we have the same beliefs in the religion aspect.

Answer 12

My husband and I have been married for 14 years, have a 13year old and an 8year old together. He is Roman Catholic and me- Anglican, our only true mission was to make our marriage work and provide normality for our children- church is not an issue. Now that the children are older, this is when it comes in: so we have decided to join a modern age youthful church which will suit their needs and not inforce either of our churches on them as one should be going to church because you want to and find it feeds the soul and enjoyable, forcing ours on them would be wrong.

Answer 13

Why can't the man change his religion? If religion is important to both partners it needs to be discussed before marriage.

Answer 14

Don't marry a person who thinks that before marriage you are more important and after marriage your religion is more important.

Answer 15

This needs to be discussed and decided upon well before marriage, so the two are of one mind. It is much easier to establish family values, etc. when the couple is of the same faith.

Answer 16

hey:

love marriages and love goes hand in hand and when someone is inlove they donot want to chnage that person they love them for who they are;so the question of converting is out of context!

Love is the religion and loves earns and demands respect for eachother!

Couples have decide if they do love eachother n can live with eachother as they r and not altered!

love sanam

Answer 17

I think it is up to the individual person. For instnace, I am Catholic and could see myself converting to Judaism but that is probably it. Like, I'd probably never convert to anything other than something Christianity-based. But ya never know...I mean when you fall in love, you fall in love and that is it :)

Answer 18

My first impression of this question....why should the female change HER religion? Marriage is about love and compromise etc...dont expect her to change her religion for you if you wouldnt be willing to do it for her

Answer 19

it should be a mutual thing if one feels the need to change mar or woman than do so otherwise why does it matter you talk about how you are going to raise you children and that's is that maybe combine the two i don't see why you would say females in particular

Answer 20

They should discuss it and come up with the solution that best fits them individually. There is no blanket explanation for this one. Whatever is best for those two people involved in the question. God bless****

Answer 21

No, both life partners either male or female it is nacessary to understand each other, only then a family life can besuccessful.

Answer 22

im married from 5 years,just now im ready to convert...i wasnt force from my husband to do it!my husband always asked me :if u convert for me,and i die tomorow what will be with ur religion?u will go back???-after that was my choise!!

Answer 23

No, because being married does not mean you suddenly lose your own personal identity, values and beliefs
