[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that there is a lot of bias in the contention that the family is asking her to change her identity. A person entering into a relationship is entitled to set boundaries. It sounds like the groom, here, indicated that he is Jewish, wants a Jewish spouse, and wants to raise Jewish children. The bride was aware of these factors, indicated she would voluntarily not identify as a Christian, but identify as a Jew, prior to marriage, and that she would agree to raise her children as Jews. To suggest that she is being made to suppress anything is pretty sexist. She is not the property of her parents or their belief system. She is an independent person who made her own choices. She could have said, I have a Christian identity and it is important to me. She did not. She made a valid choice. She can also change her mind. Given the high rates of divorce in this country, it's very common that religious instruction of children comes up in the context of marriage. Sometimes an angry spouse will try to sabotage the religious education of the child as "revenge." [/quote]

You keep saying her conversation is voluntary. But we both know he’s left her no choice. [/quote]

What's he going to do, drag her to the altar? She doesn't have to marry him. She is choosing to.[/quote]
I do see a lot of pressure here
How long have they been together?
Perhaps a longer courtship is what is needed.
Many think changing a religion is not about changing identify, but here a lot is being asked of her

+1. OP says he’s handsome and she’s madly in love. This is the price.[/quote]
