Non-Muslim Woman: Should You Marry a Muslim Man? - Blog Entry

02 Jan 2009 08:09 AM

I really appreciate this blog and all the comments, im afraid my situation is very different, but in need of help. you described the tall exotic man of your dreams to a T, i am puerto rican american catholic 21 y o and he is 23 muslim from pakistan with a very strict family he and his family have been here for a handfull of years. I love him dearly and I respect his religion in every aspect, his family doesnt know about me as we only see eachother and our visits are very innocent. I suppose he is at the age where he is getting older and his family is looking to arrange his marriage. I suggested I convert because i have no issue doing so, I have done my research and am completely open to it. as far as his family goes, he said they would not agree to it and wouldnt approve of it. This makes my situation 100 times harder, I wouldnt hesitate to make this situation easier but Im afraid my efforts aren't good enough. My family knows him and knows of his situation and support my every decision. I would never get between him and his family but I dont want to lose him. Does anyone think there is anyway to get around this, or am I just out of luck?
