Dear Sangita,

it is not just about your parents. this will be with you forever. please dont do it. you are crossing a line which will become an issue probably evedy day of your life. it will be inhuman of you to cause the pain that you are going to inflict on your parents and sisters. I used to always wish that I had a sister. But coming to this site and especially this article, i feel lucky that I dont have. Please. I advise you to not do it. Call me whatever, I am your wellwisher. you can always chose a guy for which u dont have to leave your family and normal life.

Its not just about choosing family or not. You are destroying your life and your future children. Let me be very straightforward to you. I know you will find it obnoxious. All muslim boys dream of getting non-muslim girls. whether Hindu or Sikh or Christian. they get this from their teachings in mosques. i am talking about guys right from UP to Saudi to the US. I know it. I have been with them. How many muslim girls do you see getting involved with non-muslim guys. they also consciously avoid getting 'involved' with muslim girls, because they will be making them 'impure'. ask that boy, whether he will renounce Islam and accept Hinduism if he is so much in love with you. just check across how many famous muslim men have had flings with or married non-muslims and vice versa. all the Bollywood stars to cricket stars n Imran Khan to King of Jordan to the 'religious' head of Ismaili muslims to Farroq Abdullah in Kashmir.

How is it that so many of them happen to fall in love or have flings with non-muslims? hello? talk about parasitic tendencies. think twice. i know its your personal decision. but if you take a wider look and apply social perspective, youre hurting yourself and your family. if he was Christian or Buddhist or Jain. it was different. I am sorry. Muslims have 'earned' their reputations themselves. and you should not chose to live in a cuckoo land when taking this decion.

your wellwisher
