Probably with the regards to the families possibly being more accepting if they're both muslim - assuming they do get so far down the line that they're considering marriage, and have family members who are ignorant and not willing to give up nonsensical traditions.


Since when should you even care what your family think when it comes to dating.

It's YOUR LIFE, what are you going to do when your parents die and you live alone because you gave to much thought about "what your parents might think" when dating people???

Then she'll probably be too scared of her brother/parents to have a relationship with someone who isn;t Muslim (I'm assuming you arent?)


THIS! Trust me, if her family is strict. Actually, even if they're not she's Paki and I know how brothers react. Either smooth it out with her brothers/family first and then try it or you'll end up regretting it and probably end up getting battered as well.

Respect
possibly.


:facepalm:

Your parents should respect your own wishes.

I certainly don't treat my parents like all-knowing masters, they love me all the same, if yours feel the need to control your life in order to feel respected, then they aren't really very good parents.

You shouldn't, if they have no valid reasoning. But, that doesn't stop people from doing so. :rolleyes: Especially when it comes to choosing one for the other.

I agree as does Islaam.

However, for part of honouring one’s parents and treating them kindly, it is better to ask for their permission and seek their approval, because that is more likely to keep relationships with them harmonious.

lol i think every asian has it in em :P
I'm with a Pakistani girl I can't marry :h: It changes the future but doesn't necessarily change the present. If we (I do, not sure about her anymore :frown:) want to continue now, I think we should and even though her parents may disapprove, we don't know what will happen in the future. It could end in marriage, or it could end in us breaking up. Either way, we knew the possibilities from the start so OP if you were to get with her, i'd suggest being open minded about a future break up, even if you fall in love. I did, and don't regret it. Nor will I if we ever have to break up. I will sort of regret not taking her away :tongue: but i'm working on that currently - a rather big plan to take her away from her family and be happily married with me :ninja:
