Dear aunt,
I have been seeing an italian catholic for 10 years.
we have been unable to move forward in our
relationship as he refuses to convert. i have tried
very hard to convince him but he still maintains his
position. we love each other very much and i have
tried hard to end the relationship but we both find it
very difficult to break free. he wont let me go and i
feel trapped in a dead end relationship.
in our most recent discussion he finally agreed to let
me raise our children solely as muslims which is a
major breakthrough. he still wishes for us both to
keep our faiths but he will marry me islamically.
i am tempted to agree as i am desparate to have
children and my time is running out ( i am 35 years
old)
If he agrees to all of the above but the conversion
can i still marry him? or am i selling soul and
condemning myself and my children to hell.
Please help me. i need to know where i stand in terms
of my faith and what is allowed.
he believes that everyone goes to heaven and our
religion shouldn't get in the way of our love.
Can we get married like this?

Dear Nasreen,
Well, I think that you know for yourself that love is more important than all religions in the world. Love should not be subjected to religions or other ideologies. How could the fact that you love and get married to your beloved one condemn you and your children to hell ? See, this is a man-made invention, just to keep people dumb and blind.
Anyway, why wouldn't your children choose for themselves whatever religion they want to believe in ? Who are you to condemn them to the narrow-minded views of medieval islam ? Children should get all chances of psychological freedom in the world.
Basing your marriage on religious demands is a very bad start. Instead you better start believing in love and freedom to love whoever you want, regardless his religion. This will assure you a good future and a happy life to your children.
Free yourself from islamic slavery and become a happy and free woman, enjoying life with her wonderful husband and children.
