I am a Hindu girl and I love a Christian catholic boy. I want to marry him but before that I want to know is there something written regarding not to marry non-Christian in bible? Can I marry him?

What does the girl's parents say? What does the boy's parents say?

It is not unbiblical for a Christian to marry someone who is not Christian.

I sincerely admire your respect for your Catholic boyfriend's faith. The fact that you even asked this question shows you care deeply for him. That's all I have to say. I feel happy after having read your question. Good night!

Yes you can.

Marriage without converting is very much possible. I am a very well educated hindu(Brahmin) girl married to a very intelligent and educated Catholic guy. I had to convince my parents. It took a very long time (5 years) for me to convince them. I did all this because I knew that he is the one who understands me, who loves me. But unfortunately after marriage I came to know that I was completely wrong. Every girl in love feels that her boyfriend is not like other guys who are bad. Love is really blind. Always listen to your parents. I want a divorce but I am afraid. After so much struggle we got married and now how can I face the world ? My life has become a mess. I don't want any other girl to go through this situation. Adjusting with a person of different religion is very very difficult. Before marriage we can not see that but after marriage it becomes just impossible and girl is left with only 2 choices -- suffer/divorce.

Yes you can, while the bible does warn against being unequally yoked, the Catholic Church does allow a member to marry a non Catholic and a non Christian.

And marriage is not bad because of difference in religious views if you understand those differences. You both need to study the religion of the other. The fact you do not know about if this is allowed shows you have not studied his faith well at all.

And as noted, if you live in a society where status in life and where parent OK is needed, what does your parents say

bad_decision, thank you for replying to this thread. I hope chaitu comes back (she hasn't been back since she posted the question in October) and sees what you have written.

If you would like to tell your story in more depth and get advice on how to deal with your personal issues, please begin a new thread. We will do what we can to help you see if there are more choices than suffer/divorce.

Thank you.
