<p>break it slow…
I am a hindu from South India, and my parents are definetely as strict as yours. However, we have many muslim friends and we even celebrate a few festivals together.
But, my parents would stil “kill” me if i didn’t get an arranged marriage…
and I can understand why you have trouble telling them/doing things that they don’t want you to do…its the same way with me…
I say first tell them that you don’t think arraanged marriages are a good idea
but don’t come right out and say that
you should just bring up things like how quite a few arranged marriages don’t work, and so on
see how they take it, and then maybe tell them about (if you know any) other muslims/pakistanis that married christians/hindus/indians(well any interacial really)…
you definetely need to break the news over a few months maybe a year
don’t do it in a week or something
that could cause serious problems :(</p>
