Aaliyah, I had an intuition that you and your problem are genuine unlike Hussein Khan. It is quite good to hear that your boyfriend is open-minded and willing to accomodate and tolerate other religions and cultures. You could never find a better man than him. I am also shocked by the amount of hatred in this thread incited towards a different religion. I am pretty sure its a common case in South Asia, be it Nepal, Pakistan or India, where people have morbid phobia and outright hatred towards other race, religion, ethnicity and creed. Certain posts in this thread are quite stereotypic, biased and one-sided. If you can be happy after converting, go ahead, but please do not show contempt and look down upon your original religion and countrymen. I believe even the so called opposite and conflicting religions can exist in harmony if humanity is kept in the forefront. In fact, we are first humans before we belong to any religion. Every religion has good and bad qualities, and it is high time that we abandon obsolete views and fill them with pertinent ones. As you said your boyfriend wants to reform certain things in his religion, he seems to be a modern and smart individual. It has also become necessary to reform certain practices in our own. I pray to God that you will easily be able to convince his and your family as well and have a good life with him.
