How about people stop commenting unless they are 1) Hindu 2) knowledgeable on sacred Hindu laws ?
As he requested the OP wasn't asking about your own personal and subjective opinions.
Actually Hindu parents tend to be against their sons marrying females of other religions rather than their daughters.
Conversely as per actual orthodox laws of Sanatana Dharma, religion is passed through males. A woman follows the traditions of her husband upon marriage and a son is expected to inherit and pass on the tradition of his father.
So in terms of religion, your wife actually "deconverts" herself by marrying you.
Again all of you are diverting my question.
I want answer only from a person who knows about Hindu law, that a non-hindu can marry a hindu girl or no?
PS: Guys if you don't know about hindu law please stop commenting.
There is no such restrictions within Hinduism, generally speaking Hinduism is not a law-based religion, it is more philosophical anyways. If her parents talk about it "being against Hindu law" they rather mean it is against Indian tradition(you are not Indian I assume?)
If you want to marry her, then by all means marry her. You may have problems later, but love conquers all. If you have any children, you can expose them to both faiths and they can make up their own minds.
Not sure how that would work....for the Hindu person,but I would think provided the Christian person would respect and not add pressures to his significant other....to convert....and if the reverse was implemented...and they used the joy of being together as a learning and respectful process...I think it would work out just fine!

I am not aware of any religious restrictions. Many Hindu parents would be against it, but that might not be the case with your girlfriend's family.
I am a Hindu girl and I'll marry whomever I want. The only reason that I would choose not to marry someone of a different belief system is if they pressured me to convert to their way of thinking.
