I am based in singapore and have would be glad to help you. i have crossed the river uou are trying to and can guide you. Its illegal in Malaysia, a muslim can not be married to non-muslim. But if there is a will, there is a way.

1. We got married in India with proper hindu ritual and function (Without letting her parents know)
2. We got married in Singapore under civil law (without any convertion)
3. We paid money and got the muslim marriage certificate from overseas and registered our marriage in Malaysia. Just a piece of paper can’t change someone believe. right?
4. Kids born in Singapore with independence of religion as Indian Citizen and we are raising them with good values of both religion and not to believe in just one religion. Best thing about India is that while registering the child, it do not ask for the religion of child to state in the paper

My view: Both party needs to understand and respect each others believe. Since we wanted to be together, we both took extra steps to make it happen…Raising one child Hindu & one Child Muslim is like raising the boundary among selves. Rather let them be free to learn the good things and make decision when they grow up without any influence or hidden agenda. If you go to temple, bring your kids along too or possibly your wife too..If she wants to to pray and wants to bring kids to mosque, let it be. Pls do not create limitations or boundaries between each others believe. And i don;t believe in the theory that kids will be confused…Rather they will be more mature and good human being. -Human

It was not an easy road for us and we went through tough times and lot of stress. But since we wanted to be together, we found a way. I am glad to say that. And would love to to extra miles to help and guide others if they feel like giving up the love because of religion issues! Like Admin has said in one of the comment – It’s our payback! 🙂 -HUmano

Did you used a Muslim name for your Nikaah?
Do you carry a Muslim name in your passport/legal documents or your Hindu original name?
Do you have Hindu Gods/deities in your home?
Do your wife attend a temple in Malaysia when you go?
Will your children have Arabic names and raised Muslims?
We are glad that you did not use your real name on this site. What would be the situation if someone close by go disclose to the Malaysia authority that you have a fake-Nikahnama document? -Admin

Did you used a Muslim name for your Nikaah? – Yes! That’s mandatory, but i don’t care that on a piece of paper.
Do you carry a Muslim name in your passport/legal documents or your Hindu original name? – Not at all! That’s not required.
Do you have Hindu Gods/deities in your home? – Yes! besides Quran only!
Do your wife attend a temple in Malaysia when you go? – Yes!
Will your children have Arabic names and raised Muslims? – Our children name is common in both religion. which do not label them as Hindu/Muslim.
We are glad that you did not use your real name on this site. What would be the situation if someone close by go disclose to the Malaysia authority that you have a fake-Nikahnama document? – Let them be, Our documents are real not fake and properly approved by authorities.

In eyes of Muslims, you have committed sin. However, probably in eyes of Allah, you are following love and defying irrational national authority. On the Judgment Day, probably Allah will congratulate you and your wife for respecting each other’s faith.

We wish you good luck, please come to guide others.-Admin
