woman was of Islamic faith and the man a Catholic. their union was heavily forbade by the woman's family since the man won't convert. the pair had even elope as far as manila (which further angered the woman's family) but through network of Muslim family and friends they were tracked down, harassed, the man occasionally beaten and forced them to separate.

i do not know if this is true or not. i am not of Islamic faith nor have i've been to Mindanao. but it's not only once did i hear about this story. and considering the reports i read occasionally about the Muslim women in Pakistan, I might half heartedly believe it.

but if the man had agreed to convert to Islam, they wouldn't had any problem and the man could have been at peace with his in laws. he was... according to this classmate of mine... a devout Catholic and had wanted his wife to convert. but they had to pay the consequences.

seems to me that thats good enough reason right there to not even get involved little own go against what you believe to please someone else. If your religion is that important to you as to be a condition on who you marry then maybe you should re evaluate why you want to marry in the first place. Your supposed to marry the person not the faith. So convert? No way. On the other hand, another poster raised his kids catholic blah blah blah...tells me that his religion was not the important factor in his marriage. If it were as important to him, I dont believe the outcome would have been so peaceful.

Re: would you convert?

My faith has always been an important part of who I am. And although, I would love my partner to have the same belief system, you can't force something that serious on someone. It has to be a personal choice reached with heartfelt and prayful contemplation. The only thing I would ask is that they respect my choice and allow me to practice my religion without any hindrance. And as far as children go, well, I would want my children exposed to both faiths. When they reach an age of understanding, they can decide on their own what path to take. Something they would have to do, even if, both parents practice the same religion.
