Islamic marriage advice and family advice

What is my role regarding my ageing Christian relatives?

When they learned I married a “foreign Muslim” my husband and I became outcasts to my family.

They want me to marry within the same tribe.

What will I do? I feel that my parents needs to follow every word our relatives have to say, and I have nothing to do about it. I don’t want my parents to disown me someday just because of that. I really love them and I don’t know what I’ll do without them. If I married a muslim guy from a different tribe, my relatives will surely kill me or like, punch the guy really hard.

I’ve finally found a practising Muslim man… But my family don’t want me to marry him unless he changes his name

I tried hard to convince my family for him as he is the guy for me. My mother’s stand is clear. She can’t trust a revert Muslim; he can go back to his basics anytime. He was supposed to change his name but suddenly informed me that he has changed his mind. Every moment my mind and heart is torn.

I love a non-Muslim man

He has brought me closer to my deen. But he is not a Muslim… he is a Christian who accepts all religions. Only he can give me the happiness and the respect that no one else can.

I have different ideals than my family

I am not talking to my mother, I don’t feel happy in the house and I want to get out. I have different ideals than my family.

Getting married to someone from a different culture

Please tell me if I should go ahead with proposing for marriage through her parents, even though my parents right now won’t accept it? I have spent all my life praying to Allah to bless me with a Muslimah wife like her.

I am confused, made a mess with my life

I recently turned to Islam and I realised how much sin I have commited in my life. I am ashamed to the point that I don’t know how to repent. I really hate myself and I really want to change my life around.
