Would you marry someone that doesn't share your religious beliefs?

I figured I need my own hashtag coz there are so-called 'Third World' problems. Then there are First World problems. And then there are TLG Problems :cool:

Unlikely but based on past experiences, would never say never. I could stretch as far as high-church Anglican, realistically. Not very far beyond that (am Roman Catholic) :jebus:

Then there's no hope for me. :cry:

I don't have any. But if I decided to get married for some crazy reason I would marry a religious person if he accepted me for who I am and would not try to convert me. Also, he would have to agree not to indoctrinate the children and let them choose their own path.

Saachi?

For me, it would probably be a no, unless Jain, then yes.

Yeah, but as long as I'm not asked or encouraged to convert (and nor would I ask it of her).
I guess it would be easier and more convenient in the long run to get married to someone from the Dharmic faiths though, but if she wasn't I wouldn't let that come in the way.

What about Sikh or Buddhist for you though?

To give a serious answer to the OP: probably not. I have a feeling that it would cause way too many problems even in the early stages of the relationship, let alone the (likely) vehement disagreements over how best to raise children when we get to it. Just not worth the trouble. I wouldn't mind going out with somebody who was an agnostic/deist/non-affiliated person, though, despite me being a very firm atheist.

Probably not. I'm not very religious and wouldn't want to marry a religious fanatic

Probably not. If they are moderately religious it may work but if they are very religious i pretty much cant see how it would work

Sikh= for the most part, Punjabi= not my type haha (except Priyanka Chopra..hahaha)
Buddhist, idk. haha
For me, it's Gujarati or nothing. And that kinda ends up meaning Hindu or nothing. Tbf, I can't say I would be too comfortable with something other than Hindu. Though, I'd accept atheist/agnostic weirdly?
I'm just weird.. :/
