Hi dear,
A hindu boy who is completely opposite to Christianity had fallen in LOVE with a Christian girl. And now he wants to marry that girl and at the same time she is too. But she does not want to change her religion and this boy too...
And both cannot live without each other.
So can you suggest any thing..
Regards,
Chanti9394.

Chanti, if they are willing to work together and compromise, they can have a successful marriage. It takes a lot of work and being willing to accept the other person's beliefs are different but equal.
There are things they should consider though such as their families' reaction, how they will raise any children that result from the union, are they strong enough to ignore those in their society who might not react well, etc.
Depending on where they live, there might even be resources available to help them understand the work involved and give them tools to be able to communicate and compromise better.
If they can't find a way to merge their beliefs or compromise, then it would be best if they let each other go.

I have to agree with the previous post,there are many things to over come here.That doesn't mean that they can't be.
Perhaps a good idea would be to talk to each others parents first,you will know by their reaction how others of that religion might also feel.
You could choose to do it together, or maybe a better idea, would be for each of you to talk to their own parents first... if in fact neither parents are aware of your relationship then definitely it's going to have to be each of you talking to your parents separately,before you can all come together to discuss what will happen.

I will assume you mean live together after they get married ?
Why can't they live together.
If they can agree to allow the other person to keep their faith, what is the problem ?

Thanq all, but here the girl's family is also from hindu religion...
Only she has become as christian from childhood as she was completed her education very far from her hometown and there her relatives took her away to church at that time...
And this boy had asked to change her religion, but she told " I CAN DIE FOR MY RELIGION BUT can't CHANGE".
If this boy leaves her alone also she wants to DIE..
Now tel me your answers?

Chanti, my advice stays the same.
IF they can accept each other's religions and build a marriage that respects the Beliefs of each person, then they can have a successful marriage. However, if they can't, then they need to let go and move forward.
If he wants her to convert and she is strong in her Faith, then they need to accept that Love cannot overcome all differences. It will hurt to let go of him and the relationship, but she will survive.

Many people in today's world respect each other religions. Also the issue is bringing children into the world. Many parents, many couples makes it work. Also attending each others service in their respective religions. So it can work, it can be done without changing anything. Why not take turns attending each other services. Respecting each persons belief without trying to change them.
