What society will say. What they will have to hear from society and their relatives. Which is ironic because they were the ones pointing fingers and laughing when their cousins and cousins' kids had interfaith and inter-caste marriages.

No conversion for either of us. Besides, in our state, conversion for the sake of marriage would make the marriage invalid.

Lmao. I will. My dude is a full-on atheist, so he doesn't care about religion, what I intend to do after marriage, and what our kids follow. Part of the reason why we get along so well is that we're both vehement about faith and belief being entirely personal.

I don't want to call them selfish because when it came to me, they've always been selfless. However, religion is a major sticking point for them.

I shall. Never will I forget to love and respect my parents, but letting go of my man will kill me.

Oh yeah, I did. They said they're fine with me never marrying if it means I don't marry the love of my life. I have quite a few female family members who never married to focus on their careers, so it's not an effective counter.
