I love a Hindu girl and I want to marry her when we grow older. We both share these thoughts. I am Catholic, Would we be allowed to be married into the Catholic Church and/or married in the Hindu way as well. However, I don’t want to share the truth of Christianity with her because I am afraid she will reject it because of her faith. I don’t want her to go to hell when we die.
 
We as Christians share the truth of Christianity to the world, especially our family.

Sit down and talk with your pastor.
 
Interdenominational marriages among Christians are hard enough.

Couldn’t imagine being married to a pagan.

But, you said you are a Catholic. That is an essential part of who you are. If you are not willing to share who you are with her, perhaps your relationship isn’t as deep as you have said. It isn’t a matter so much as can you be married as should you marry,

Talk to your priest and listen to his counsel.
 
Why do you say it like she is bad for her beliefs. She grew up that way, it isn’t her fault. And why does it matter if she is pagan or not.
 
I know, I know. I meant I’m scared to, not that I don’t want to.
 
Just because I’m Catholic and she Hindu means it won’t work?
 
You don’t throw pearls before swine. If she won’t convert I recommend against it.
 
There is a lot to consider. Would she be willing have the children baptized and raised in the Catholic Faith? Things like that are why you need to share your Faith with her as quickly as possible. Follow Christ and His Church.

Follow your heart !

Just know that you come from different traditions and you’ll both have to be open to each other.

If you can, get a copy of the book, "Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message, " by Ravi Zachari

Ravi was born and raised in India in a Hindu home. He was eventually led to Jesus Christ and is one of the great preachers of our time.

In fact, you can find many of his talks on Youtube.

In all, pray pray pray, ask God for his guidence

How old are you? The advice I would give to a 16 or 20 year old is a lot different than 30 or 40 year old person. Talk to your priest.

You cannot have two marriages.

You obviously have a lot more to discuss.
 
Just don’t try to push your religion on her.

Share what you believe and listen and be open to what she believes.

It’s what lovers do for each other. 😉

Okay, Yes. I am worried about that as well. I would love to raise them Catholic but raise them with Hindu tradition as a “fair trade” or whatever.
 
The key to a healthy relationship is that you help each other grow as human beings, and allow them to be free to follow their paths.

It’s not a question of what you would love to do. It is required if you want to get married in the Catholic Church and baptize your children. If you told the priest that you will also be practicing hinduism I’m pretty sure that would be a no go.
 
Hindu tradition? Thats like saying you’re a Christian ok with teaching your kids spirit cooking. Are you 14 by any chance? If so, most highschool relationships do not work out-even the long term Catholic ones.
