Marriages between people of different nationalities and different religions have long ceased to be something unusual and exotic. In some cases, the husband and wife live happily, raising children. However, there are many directly opposite examples, when marriage did not bring happiness to either husband or wife, and ended in a breakup.
Instructions
Step 1
Suppose a Muslim man falls in love with a Russian woman. How should he behave if he wants her to agree to marry him and for their marriage to be successful? The question is not easy, since Islam establishes a rigid hierarchy of family relations: the husband is the unconditional head of the family, the wife is obliged to obey him without complaint. For some Russian women, this is unacceptable.
Step 2
If your family has always strictly adhered to religious canons, if you attach great importance to the opinion of elders and what people will say, you better overcome your feelings. Such a marriage, even if it is concluded, is 99% likely to be unhappy. After all, they will probably begin to demand that your chosen one also convert to Islam and unswervingly fulfill the commandments of the Prophet. If you demand this from your beloved woman - you will offend and push her away, if you don’t demand - you will be overwhelmed by the discontent of parents, older relatives, fellow-believers.
Step 3
In no case do not resort to deception, do not try to appear to others. Alas, some Muslims behave as Russians do when courting Russian women. And after the wedding, everything falls into place. Naturally, the wife will feel cheated, disappointed and unhappy. Whether such a marriage will bring happiness is a purely rhetorical question.
Step 4
But if you and your parents belong to moderate Muslims, for whom belonging to Islam, observing religious commandments is more of a tradition, a manifestation of respect for ancestors, rather than a way of life and the meaning of existence, then your marriage with a Russian may well be happy. Immediately take it as a rule: treat your chosen one with sincere respect, without trying to change her habits and manners. Always remember that she grew up in a different environment, she has a completely different mentality.
Step 5
Suppose your loved one agreed to the proposal to marry you. Then the last question remains: will the Muslim clergy agree to consecrate your marriage? It must be admitted that there is no single point of view on this issue. Some theologians claim that the Prophet allowed Muslims to marry the People of the Book, which include Christians. Some, on the other hand, say that today's Christians cannot be considered the People of the Book. If you have any difficulties, contact the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims (DUM) of Russia. In most cases, the SAM allows such marriages.
