Yes - having been dating my Pakistani boyfriend for 6 years now!

I would and I have.
We didn’t work cause of usual stuff but not cause I was Hindu and he was Muslim. Or the countries for that matter. I think it would have been a little tough introducing him to my parents. But as long as we had real compatibility in terms of other things, I think my parents would have come around. They are very liberal.

I dated a Indian Hindu girl for many years in college. I’m Pakistani Muslim. Interestingly when we met, we started off on the usual political and national differences debate and didn’t think we would ever become a couple. However as we got to be friends, we both realized that our family backgrounds were very similar, similar upbringing, similar family values, and surprisingly some similar family histories. Both of us grew up overseas and met in college in the US. When things became serious, I was more ready to make it work with my family despite the issues. Her family picked up on things and told her “anyone but a Pakistani”. We did discuss things like impact to our extended families, visits back home, kids and religion etc, which does become a bit complicated. Long story short, we can ended things as her family was not in favor of us and I didn’t want her to pay a huge price just for our happiness, but I so regret it now. She was and still is my true first love, even though we are both settled happily in our lives. We don’t stay in touch other than the occasional email greeting. Can it work, yes it can. It requires an open mind on both sides, and the willpower to make it work. Families come around, and if the person and relationship truly make you happy, fight for it.

I’m Indian married to a Pakistani. Save for visa issues life is great, families and extended families are just as loving and caring and attached to each other.. culture and family values are the same.. when we visit each other’s countries random people go out of their way to be hospitable and considerate (and curious in a good way!).. overall I highly recommend being open minded about it!

Only if we start off as really good friends and Islam is not imposed on me... as long as he won’t make me convert and make me do religious stuff.

Conversion is usually the big hold up with a Muslim spouse unfortunately

all of these stories mentioned here are one way side of things ( pakistani man - indian non muslim woman). i would really like to hear the other direction stories where we have indian non muslim male and pakistani muslim women. unless there is equal or almost equal frequency of those cases all talks of unity is not real ...

I have two Indian guy friends who are married to Pakistani women. One of them is a Hindu male and the other a Sikh male, both married to Muslim females. They do exist!

Went on a first date, thought it was like a 6-7 out of 10 connection and with some red flags, but then she was so honest and cute the way we said bye that my heart melted into a puddle.

Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?
