  1. Vijaya,

    If you are still Hindu, then whether you change your name or not, it makes no difference. Because you are not Muslim. Change of name would have been a question, if you had become a Muslim, which you should.

    If you are still Hindu, then in the eyes of Islamic Law, your marriage is invalid.

  3. if u decide to become a muslim, then i dont know if a name change is neccessary. ask someone knowledgeable in shaa Allaah theyll be able to tell u if there is anything wrong with ur name

  4. VIjayajunk ji,

    If the hindu muslim marriage being invalid doesnt concern you then why should the issue of whether changing your name is compulsory or not concern you?

    You leave aside the most important fact abd your focusing on the petty issues.

    If the marriage is invalid then nothing else matters. Full stop.

  5. I am dating a moslem girl and We plan to get married soon. So do we have to get a Consent from the Moslem Law Board

    • Are you Muslim or Hindu? If you are Hindu then your marriage to a Muslim girl will never be Islamically permitted and will be considered null and void by all Muslims. A Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man.

  6. If muslim girls can permitted to get married to converted muslim man which is right or wrong.

  7. Is it compulsory in Islam for hindu girl to change her name to marry Muslim boy...

    • Rachna, a Muslim cannot marry a Hindu. It is forbidden in Islam. You could marry him only if you convert to Islam, in which case you do not have to change your name unless it has some un-Islamic meaning. According to what I searched, Rachna means "creation". So that's fine, there is nothing wrong with it and you could keep it.
