In our country inter-marriage is common specially nowadays that crisis is really striking hardly. It is so obvious, marriage for convenience. Since parents has no authority to stop what their children's love affair, they would just tolerate it. What can you say about this...would you let your daughter to marry some other race that has different customs and cultures? What's you idea...?

as much as i'm concern i think there's no problem about inter-marriage or marrying someone from other race...for all of us are human and i don't discriminate. as long as you marry each other because you love them...then there's no problem...we all have the right to be happy with the one we love... but...if we marry just for convenience...even he is from the same race as we are...then i don't agree with that...marriage is something that is sacred and we must pay high respect on it...and we should do this in accordance to God's teaching for He is the one who established marriage... you said that its now common here in our place because of this economic crisis...yes it might be true but we can't judge them nor blame them...they have their own mind and they are responsible in what they are doing in their life... but for a true Christian who believes in the teachings written on the bible, we must follow the rules on getting married so that our married life will prosper and be blessed...i know you know what i mean...

My husband and I both think that intermarriage is just fine, I'm Canadian and he's American. He has a daughter who married a Muslim, and we both have lots of friends of different races and religions who married outside of their race or religion. Things worked out just fine in all cases.

It's okay I appreciate that...for me I would not agree and oppose it. It's okay for me with the different races but if it involves different faith or religion I would not agree..Thanks on your opinion...I appreciate it..

I think I am in favor of love marriage. I mean I don't see any reason to be against it... Inter-marriage usually happen in case of love-marriage and I don't feel it wrong in any way to marry someone you love...

well it really depends, sometimes even in one sect there are many sects........like in my country it does matter when it comes to state or the language. he might belong to a particular religion but then what mother tongue he speaks also makes a lot of difference....... I am personally not against inter-caste marriage but then i would not advice people who are religious to get into it......as many times you would not like ot bow down in front of other gods and that could heat things up........like I am a christian and i am very devoted to god, i would never ever bow down in front of any other idols as it would mean breach of the first commandment......so these small things later become an issue and you cant really help it..... Otherwise its fine is suppose, as some people are neutral when it comes to religion, it makes no real difference as to which god they worship, or having dual god......I would not mind if my daughter marries a person from the same religion but different caste.......but in some other religion I am not open for it.......

I got your point. I would just share to you the out come of marrying not on the same faith. During their church services if one of the married couple is still active to his/her faith the other might oppose and might be the causes of family trouble. Another thing would be the children s religious identity. That's only my point of view....I guess no matter if they don't have the same customs and traditions as long as they have same faith, I think the chances of religious problem and troubles would be less...thanks..

it is very common my friend...all over the universe,not only due to global crisis but since the time being inter-marriage is what we have known,so what more can we expect on this new era,even countries which traditions and cultures are strongly observed there are still some who break the law in the name of love,so,it's not the crisis that matters most,but also love makes a great play on it...it is very hard to marry someone we doesn't love at all.and when it comes to faith and beliefs and religions...it can be discussed in between the two people concerned as long as they love each other...it would never been a hindrance,lastly...marriage for convenience is one factor maybe...but still i guess...there is still love to be consider above all these inter-marriage.
