Muslim boyfriend and pregnant

I just found out I’m pregnant, my bf is an Afghan Muslim and I’m a Christian. I don’t want to abort but I’m scared of being alone. My mum was a single mother and I don’t want to follow in her footsteps. His family and my mum doesn’t know about me or him so it makes it worse. I really love him but I’m not sure if he loves me enough to stay. What will his family think of me, will they hate me? I’m really scared.

I am Pathan/afghan and from experience they are really judgy and will not accept a child outside of marriage but it depends how seriously they take religion and customs. Also I know that some Christians don’t accept abortion so it depends on your age and values.


Will they make him abandon me? What do you think they will do? Will they hate me? What if I revert. Would they ever let him be with me? I still haven’t told anyone and I’m just having a hard time. My symptoms are starting to show and I don’t think I can keep hiding. I just want to know or put in perspective what they’ll think of me and if they’d ever accept me if he chooses to take care of me and the child. Wouldn’t it be bad for him to have a child out of wedlock, what will his future wife think of him if he decides to leave me because of his parents? I just have so much going through my head, and I can’t bear to think about the conflict that’s gunna arise from this situation, I keep postponing telling anyone. I’m just so ashamed.

as a muslim he has committed something called 'Zina' which is when u have sex before marriage. This is one of the worst things to do as a Muslim and is guaranteed hell, and if u do revert, it dosent take out the fact he committed 'Zina'. Also the thing is that it will be hard for him to marry another girl, unless he leaves u and hides the fact of having a baby. In my opinion try talk to him and figure something out, whereas he shouldnt be stupid enough to commit such a horrible sin. Also to add, there will be an immense awkward feeling between u and his family and they will probably most likely be disappointed in him and urself.

I strongly suggest you do not get advise from here but get advise from professional and love ones (family members)

Do not worry about what they think but focus on what you think. Go to love ones and if they choose not to accept you look at your financial factors and abortions is only necessary if you are risk of dying which is not the case . Struggling is gods test even in Christianity and Islam and if he chooses not to be there it’s his sin even if you started or he started this.
Well thank goodness of your age and be grateful lots of people happen to be at 19 and 18 age.

Loads of uk helplines for people at this age so please do not get advise from here. We have simplistic knowledge others that know about this do.

I’ll be so honest it depends how strict they are but if it was someone from my family they wouldn’t accept you as they may believe that you ruined their son which obviously you didn’t it was his own choice and I’m so against the mindset. In my family they might not even accept their son anymore and disown him honestly it depends on the families strictness. Personally I don’t think you should revert for a man or to be accepted into a man’s family as it should be solely your decision. To decide whether or not he will leave you is what type of person he is (yes it is completely wrong to have children out of wedlock). I mean if you truly believe in the religion then you can revert for YOURSELF only and you could then get married (unless you follow an abrahamic religion) you don’t need to revert to get married. If this were to happen in my family, yes they would despise the girl but it wouldn’t be any more than how much they despise their own son or brother. Hope this helps stay safe xx


Are you Afghan?

I’m just scared, I know what I did was wrong and I’ll repent but I don’t wanna be alone. I really love him and have always seen a future with him and want us to be married especially if we are going to share a child but knowing that his family hates me will make me feel awful. I don’t know how else to change the situation I’m in. Would it work if he introduces me to his family without letting them know I’m pregnant and get us married quickly, I don’t know what to do.

Babe, put yourself first you are only 21 - if he leaves you are dust. Consider the abortion - then learn from this. you'll be on the bread line, on the dole for a long time - your mates will be graduating and getting big jobs, travelling and youll be cleaning up baby vomit. Be a mum when you have the tools, trust and finances. Religon or not we are in a cost of living crisis and you arent even publicly with him- he owes you nothing, and his family may not want to meet you. Put yourself first, its not selfish or immoral its literally survival
