In this video, we talk about parental pressure to marry within the same culture and the fear of opening up the topic of wanting to marry someone of a different ethnicity.
We receive so many comments and questions, and this is by far the most asked question on our channel. 'How do I tell my parents that I want to marry someone from another culture?' Many variations, but it's the same question over and over. We sat down and discussed some of the cases we know of, as well as troubleshooting the issue, speaking about the actual difficulties marrying outside of the culture can pose, and sharing the Islamic viewpoint and rulings.
Please feel free to leave your thoughts below and share any stories you know of, or may be going through yourself.
May all of our intentions be purified and our hearts softened.
