A friend once lamented about his love story. He had a relationship with his girlfriend for over three years. Both are want to strengthen their relationship in a more serious level, namely, the marriage. However, their desire hit a wall as thick. Their religion is different. They are confused because mixed marriages with different religions is not easy.
What about your country, whether religious differences difficult to marriages in your country? How does your view of marriage different religion?

Cultural differences exists everywhere in the world. Very few family understands this and allows their ward to get married of their choice.

Hi advokatku, I think that it has to be the people involved that make the difference. Religion can be a very sensitive subject but it doesn't have to be. I know that there are countries in the world where the laws would make a difference that's not true where I live. Blessings.

Hi Advokatku,
I think if two people love each other deeply enough then they can and will overcome the obstacle of having different religious views. Personally, I wouldn't see it as an obstacle at all although I know that some people would. With all the trials that a married couple face then I think that if they can't find a way to live peacefully and respectfully with each other regardless of differing religions then it is probably good that they are not getting married.

here in my country where christians and muslims have some serious issues and at some point,majority of the muslims are discriminated in the capital because of the belief that muslims are all terrorists and somehow unsuitable to marry a christian and vice versa.however, in the countryside where im residing where christians and muslims co exist freely and inter marriages though somewhat not that very popular still is ubiquitous. a christian friend of mine married a muslim royalty,parents from both sides are against the union due to cultural,religion differences and erroneous belief of each other.but then, their love pushed away all arguments and reasons not to be together.My friend said,its difficult but its about love,respect and compromise.

I think that's OK, and remember, we marry his/her because we love him/her. So I think that's the most important that we must have before marrying. It's true, in few country the marriage with different religion is forbidden. So if you at that country, but you are the strong lover, why you don't go to another country that the marriage different religion is allowed.
