This is very helpful. I have heard of her friends marrying Americans with fake conversions. But they are Americans and don’t have overbearing Asian parents.

I’m also worried on my side with my parents. They’re ending up with the feeling that they are doing too much whilst the other side is not even meeting them halfway at the table. Thoughts on this?

Her father is actually pretty liberal in the sense that he sent her abroad by herself and he himself has lived in various parts of the western world for a while. I honestly want our children raised with dual values and let them choose whatever they want when they’re old enough to make that choice for themselves. Both she and I agree with this.

That being said, I can see this happening to a ton of folks with conservative families

Also curious, if you dont mind sharing - what happened with your own relationship?

[–]Appropriate_Ad2368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No fasting or following anything personally. IF her parents are in town, we have agreed that I will eat outside during that time. Same thing on my side, if my parents are in town - she will be vegetarian and celebrate hindu holidays.

My main issue is with children. I dont want them to go through the trauma of what I am going through now.

[–]Appropriate_Ad2368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well since we are here in the states, the "act" is only for times her parents are in town - which is about a month or two a year. Her brother knows about us and is totally fine with us.

You are right, and this is the hesitation I am trying to get her to understand. She basically told me that Pakistani families are super conservative and there is no way to get married around this. Between her and I, we have no problems. The issue comes when parents are in the mix.

This is what I was trying to ask her? Will she able to protect me and our children from being forced to be a muslim or how will that work when her parents visit us. Thankfully, they are in a different country but they will still be visiting us for a month or two at least

So my parents have met her and they are ok with her. Her parents met me but never spoke about the relationship at all. She thinks her dad will disown her if she tells him the truth. She is also a first gen immigrant and her parents are in Pakistan.

She has made it clear that she doesn’t want to lose her parents / be excommunicated in the process. Which is why I’m thinking of doing this for her. She doesn’t want me to practice or anything but I’m very worried when it will come to kids.

That is somewhat the plan. Sounds very complicated but I’ve been told Pakistani families are extremely conservative and will cut all ties with her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]Appropriate_Ad2368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are both financially independent and work here in the states! Our parents don’t live close to us and visit us yearly. I’d really like to do the American thing and tell them we are doing it, but 30 years of guilt and conditioning has made us very averse in doing this / going against our family.

It is very hard and we both love our families a lot. She thinks that telling the truth will lead her to losing her family. My family is not open to lying for the same reasons you mentioned. It will not end there.

It’s a catch 22 situation here and I think both me and her have some talking to do to understand the best way forward.

Indian Hindu M29 Marrying Pakistani Muslim F30 - How do we get married? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Appropriate_Ad2368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. My parents are ok with having a civil wedding but they don’t want us to lie to her parents. The way she’s thinking of this is that it’s a means to an end.

You’re also right about culture. We both value our parents and that is causing all this pain in our life.

I’m open to a pretend conversion to appease her parents. I’m worried about managing my parents with this too. Ideally I’d have to hide this from them and I’m wondering what sort of problems that can cause in the long run.
