sunni woman, want to marry a shia man
Hi, I already know what the responses will be and that this won't work and that I should give up because i've heard that 100 times and though I understand why people say that, I really believe he's the only one for me.
I honestly don't know how to feel, I've been inlove with the same man for 3 years and we had a phase of no contact because his family was worried about me being both non-arab and sunni, and though I haven't told my parents yet, I know my dad and some family would also be unhappy. (despite the many sunni and shia marriages on my mum's side)
I want to say this without sounding delusional but i've never felt this way for someone before and to the point I started practicing my deen better and felt a really good influence from him so I want things halal, but recently his brother who also has a sunni wife is getting potentially getting a divorce because of dispute on if their future children would be sunni or shia as she wants to teach the kids both. Me personally, I'm completely fine with my children being shia, I've never had anything against the shia belief or community, It wouldn't bother me. But i'm just scared now because after all this, it's going to be 10x harder to marry him and his mother already is against it more as she thinks I could have ill intent and also have sect related disputes. I just feel lost because it's like I don't have a chance according to everyone. I just want advice on how to make sure I don't become like every other story sunni shia couples have. جزاك الله خيرا
