As such I am Aileen Foster who is from USA and i am a black woman who is married to an Tamil Indian man. I very much go to the temple with my husband and there is no feeling that we are out of place and very much we are able to mingle with people there in the temple. Even we are invited to many get-togethers and also to many other functions. Recently we celebrated the Navrathri and Diwali here in the USA and we are planning to go to India for the New Year and Pongal festival also. It is our mind that has to mix well and not the skin color. Thinking has to be broadminded so that there is not even a single thought of feeling out of place, since there is lots of love and affection. As such my husband's elder brother's children come to our house every weekends and they spend their time with us and very much they also call me as mother as I am their father's younger brother's wife (complicated but not so complicated relationship). I feel very much at home more than being out of place. Colors do not matter but love and affection matters.

As such I am a woman from Tajikistan who is happily married to a South indian brahmin iyengar man, who is very much caring and loving person. We do have 2 children and we still plan to have 2 more children and that religion is not an issue for me as i had got converted as a Hindu and that our children follow Hinduism at home and we celebrate each and every occassion at home with very much respect for tradition and that people should have an understanding that money is not the great player in one's life, but it is the love and affection that has a big role.

Hi Name is Mohamed Ibrahim and i fell in love with a North india girl and her name is Tripti and we are loving each other a lot and wanted to get married with our parents willingness and we are fighting for it.We still have hope that our parents will understand and agree to it, but main condition each of has is the religion . As a Muslim i cant marry a non-Muslim and as a Hindu she cant marry a non-Hindu . But from my opinion i respect all GOD as equal and so as she , she is from Yadav family and doesnt take NON-VEG , so i quit eating non-veg for her , she has fast for me during Ramzan . All we wanted is get married with our parent's willingness .Our kids will also be brought as Muslims for record and school purpose but we wont stop them going to temple and celebrate Hindu festivals is what we decided. Since she is going to live with me and we are joint family. Please let me know is this is a sin or what we are doing is wrong ?. my Parents doesnt allow me to marry a non-muslim and so as her parents and we are still fighting for it with peace and patience that we will get an answer one day.

Iam a Roman Catholic, married to a Hindu Brahim. We are married since eight years. Although we decided to make sure that our children followed both faiths, the constant emotional states of our parents has put indirect pressures. Initially, there was a lot of adjusting to do. Today we our expecting our second child and are comfortable having found our own path. We celebrate both festivals with equal joy and take our daughter to the Church as well as the temple. We know to respect our parents but we also know priority is to maintain bliss within our own family circle without feeling too pressured to please any one side.

I am English Christina woman married to Indian man of Hindu faith whose parents are Hindu/muslim. There was no problem for us to be married. I made a big effort to be make friends with my in-laws and be aprt of the family. In fact I loved them dearly. I loved to go to the temple and sit quietly listening to the Aarti which fills my heart and makes it soar. I saw people look in a way wanting to know what the situation was but this didnt bother me. I alos went to the Durgha and sat listening to the beautiful sufi music. My son is very fair and now being brought up by me alone as the father assaulted me. It is Divali this week and we will light diyas and have mithai and welcome in the goddess. We celebrate christmas and the other festivals. I am proud of his heritage. The extended family in India loved me as a simple,kind and human person and welcomed me to the home.

I want to hear about more experiences of mixed religion couples going to Hindu temple? Does the white or black partner feel out of place? Do the children feel different? Does everyone mix well?
