Indian Intercaste marriage..procedure..pls help!?
I am a roman catholic and my wouldbe, a hindu. we both belong to India(South) and are planning to wed early next year. Would u be kind enough to let us know if our marriage would be accepted by the church or does my fiance need to convert inorder for it to be accepted?I am not at all keen on asking her to convert as its never in my best interests to bring her a change for the cause of man made boundaries.A court marriage is always a viable channel.
We r however vexed and worried that our marriage may have an implication on my parents and their participation in the church hence after.We are doing our bit of home work in this sphere but your input would also be of high value to us.
thanks for helping us out..it means a lot to us!thnks!

well i think she needs to be converted if u wanna have the wedding in church but i think u can discuss that with the priest of the church... mayb he can help you out...
a court marriage doesnt matter bout ur religion... erm i suggest u talk to the priest and your parents...
tell me about it. i hate it when religion and tradition tends to separate us from the one we really want to spend the rest of our lives with. anyway, as what you have said, you could always get married in the courts, however, when dealing with these things, better to do both (it's safer that way). it would cost a lot but at least you satisfied each other's family's requests. but i do suggest that you get married by court first, so that you would be legally married and not really have to think of anything else. then decide who gets to go first or if you would like to try and fuse the two in one big wedding ceremony with everyone in there.
either way and whatever happens, it's your wedding. so make the most of it and have fun!
my best wishes to the hindu bride-to-be and my congratulations to the catholic groom-to-be.
you guys have a good life ahead of you. may your upcoming union be blessed with many children:)
Its better if you both get register marriage. You both need to apply before a month in the registrar's office. It will be good for you. After that exchange rings in a church or get marrry in hindu tradition. But first get register marriage.
Happy Wedding.
if you marry out of the catholic church, they do not regard you as married..............however you can have a hindu wedding but later, have iyour marriage blessed by a catholic priest , this will go down in the church records..................
do what you both decide..who cares what people think..if you both cant marry in a roman catholic...then get married somewhere else
