Hello Reddit Friends,
Hope you all are doing well! I'm reaching out to you guys to get some opinions/feedback on a situation I've kind of been struggling with for about 4 years now. I am a Sunni Muslim girl and I have been dating my boyfriend, a Bohri Shia, for 4 years now. We want to get married and his family has welcomed me with open arms as his parents grew up in America and have a more open mindset. I've discussed with my mom about this and she is okay with me marrying him as long as I don't partake in any of the Bohri customs and rituals. My boyfriend and his family do not mind him converting to Sunni so that he can marry me. I've tried telling my dad about him before and he took it not so well. He gave me an ultimatum and I chose to leave the house. All is good now, but it's because he thinks I don't talk to my boyfriend anymore. So I guess what I'm wondering is how do I make this work? How does someone convert to sunni as a shia? Is that even possible??? How do I go about telling my traditional minded father?
I'm trying to do everything the right way and don't want to pick between my family and my love. I know if I get my dad on board, everything will be okay. I need all the opinions/feedback/comments on this because I need different perspectives. Thank you for your help in advance!!! If it works out, I'll keep y'all in my duas definitely.
