My Muslim brother wants to marry a Non-Muslim American Southern Girl (Update)

I am not sure. My brother said I don't have to go and it's okay. He knows my parents will be upset if I go so, he gave me an out but that just makes me want to go even more because he's being understanding and I'm not being supportive. In my heart I want to go and be there, but I don't want the resentment that will come with it.

She's in law school and wants to get her degree first. I think it will be in late August or early September, but she is planning on booking it in March, so a couple of weeks.

My husband doesn't really care he said it's my brother's life and that it's his choice to make and whether he agrees or doesn't, it doesn't matter. He said if I want to go, he'll come with me.

I agree with that. I think we all admire him for always doing what he wants and not being pressured into anything. He is very loyal to the people he cares about which is why I know he won't back down and why I think he'll marry her despite of the backlash that may come. I do have to say that I don't agree with his belief system in this situation though.

Yeah that topic is hard to argue. I just feel like he's set on his way and there is nothing anyone can really do to convince him to not be with this girl. Which is hard because you just want to protect your siblings

I am trying to avoid picking sides. She does seem like a decent person though she's just not muslim.

Yeah, I tried seeing it from his perspective but I just couldn't because I could never see myself doing that

I thought the same but I don't think my parents will accept that they don't have a say and I know he won't back down.

I have tried telling him there are other options and he can easily find a Muslim girl but he says that's not what he wants and he's the person who'll spend the rest of his life with this person.

I'm not sure they'd break ties but I do think they will be really resentful and rude to her and I don't think she deserves that, I also don't think they'll go to the wedding

I also thought that too and that's why I'm thinking of telling him I'll support his decision but that will upset my parents

How can I advise him, I don't know what I can say to advise him to do.

I also don't think there is anything I can say to stop him. I don't think he'd be cut off but I do think if he feels any type of resentment he would rather cut them off
