I know of many inter-cultural couples who are doing well.There are a lot of testing times in almost all social gatherings but they make every situation a win-win one.And after sometime even when there is a fight between them,those who were initialy opposed to their marriage lend their hands in sorting things out.This speaks volumes about how true love shows and all endorse it,don't you think?

I had seen a broken marriage. I was an inter religion marriage. They had fallen in love in college. They married with the mutual agreement (not legal) that religion would not be an issue and neither of them would have to change their religion. But after 1 year, the girl was asked to change her religion due to the pressures from the religious head of their region. She refused. Then she was tortured and harassed a lot, by her husband and in-laws. She was pregnant by the time she decided to leave her husband. She was brave enough to leave her husband and live alone with a kid. The kid has not seen his father and neither did the father ever come to see his kid.

Passate,

Glad your friend was able to get out a bad marriage. If they had agreed on no religon and the husband was going to force it into the relationship anyways, then she absolutly made the right decision. Always happy to see someone do the right thing.

I personally would never break up with someone just based on race or religon unless they really pressed the issue,

cochise

I think the problem comes when there are people who oppose to the relationship. The couple, in as much as they love one another, gets pressured to conform to their wants and this shakes the relationship. SOme people survive while others don't.

wow passionate, i too am glad that your friend had the strength to walk out of her relationship while being pregnant, that takes an enormous amount of strength. I myself dont know anyone that has had a problem in a inter racial/ inter cultural relationship

I just know of someone who has different religions. The parents of a friend. Well, according to my friend there was never a problem regarding that. Her mom nor her dad didn't have to change religons. I think she was baptized in her dads church but she practices her mom's now. Nobody in their family has a problem with that. I guess if both partners have an open mind and understanding, a marriage could survive.

I agree. As long as love is accompanied with openmindedness and understanding, inter-racial and inter-cultural marriages can work.

caste can be he reason because they are not able to understand and adjust
