Question

MUSLIM GIRL WITH A CHRISTIAN AFRICAN AMERICAN BOYFRIEND?

Answer 1

If you truly are a Muslim, then you wouldn't and shouldn't have a boyfriend in the first place. If it does come down to choosing between your boyfriend and your family, always choose your family. They'll always be there for you, what if things don't work out with your boyfriend, who will you turn to then? You can never replace your family...boys are a different story.

Answer 2

hey im chinese and my girlfriend is muslim. her parents don't know about us, but her older sister is married to a non-muslim. At first her parents were disappointed, but eventually they understood. they thought about disowning her, but they were understanding enough to realize that it is not worth losing a daughter over.

Answer 3

Well, if you are Muslim, the reason your parents are upset is because Muslim women are supposed to marry Muslim men. If you want your family to be more accepting, maybe talk to him about converting?

Answer 4

first.... congrats on Euro 2008 =) and bosnia will beat turkey in march =D bajram serif mubarek olsun



im bosnian teenager. i understand wat ur saying. my parents arent that strict but they still ask "who what where why how, etc" and whatever whenever im in a relationship.



what you need to do is dont listen to your parents. just because theyre ur parents doesnt mean they are always smarter and wiser and it doesnt mean they can control your life. you have your own individualism and you need to be in control of your own life. tell them to screw off if they cant respect your own life and your relationship. tell them if they cant understand their OWN daughter that they raised, then they have real problems. tell them they dont know what love is. tell them that if they were true parents, they would understand you and why youre doing whatever it is you're doing.



dont be jailed by some crazyass parents and never become a parent like that. i respect ur parents, but i dont like them jailing you. u dont deserve that.

Answer 5

I never agree to this type of controlling nature from parents but I do understand it is a culture thing. You can talk to your father, however we both know that you will not get far. The only way you can do it is break a rule of your culture. If you want to be with this man, go and get him. Don't waste your life like this.

Answer 6

I feel for you Sweetheart My situation is pretty much like you I am 23 my boyfriend is african American and he's parent don't want him with me just because am Spanish We try talking to them but at the end we had to hide our relationship a bit longer till he's out of college I think You should talk to your parent They should understand that is your feelings and that you truly love this person Also make sure that he wants the same thing as you Remember your parents will get hurt but at the end they will love you and love who you love. Good luck

Answer 7

I am so sorry for you. Wait until you get a job and become self- dependent, then tell them. Because I know long hard fights with your family are ahead. Decide what you really want because your final decision may mean burning all the bridges with your family.

My daughter has an african american boyfriend too. And I must say I didn't like the idea first but after meeting him- he is a very fine young man- I have no doubts. I hope this happens to your family too.

I wish you all the best.

Answer 10

You do know that you left the caps lock on cruise?



Following strict orders from your parents is NOT BEING RESPECTFUL, its just being stupid.



You let your parents control you your whole life time and you expect them to assume that you can actually reason things. Not gonna happen!



Just be logical with them, have a MATURE talk with them about you, your education, your intelligence and how you are capable of reasoning things out. If they tell you that you are not old enough or something with experience. Tell them to explain why they are so worried.



I am turkish too, I understand what you go through, but I also understand your parents. They literally supported you the whole life and now they think that you are gonna waste it with this guy.
