   i really need some answers regarding a muslim man...
i am a catholic and i do practice my faith...me and my muslim boyfriend (who also practices his faith) have been together for quite some time...we both love eachother deeply and are really happy...but i myself have a child out of wedlock, but he accepts this child of mine...but now he finally tells me that he was to have some sort of arranged marriage with a muslim woman (which was made by his parents long ago) in 2 years...he says he wants to be with me but he can't because his religion and family would not approve of this...might i add, he loves his family dearly, especially his mom, who he does not want to dissapoint...he teaches me about his religion and i enjoy learning about it and i also started to read the quran...i am just so lost in this whole situation, my time is also running out...does our love not matter in his religion and that he should be with someone who he does not love...please help me

	you probably should seek advice from a marriage councelor i will also assume that boyfreind means, a relationship that does not mean sex outside marriage

	First you need to check if there is an arranged marriage for real, or is it just a getaway lie to end this relationship just like I have done few years ago when I got feed up with my ex and wanted a peaceful break up . say you love this prince very much and will do whatever it takes to marry him, and he's being pushed over to this arranged marriage and there is no way out of it...I suggest he considers marring both of you just as simple as that. There is nothing in Islam that forbids marring a catholic woman nor having 2 wives at the same time. like always I'd like to share this joke: God says to Adam, "I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first?" Adam says, "Tell me the good news first." God says, "I'm going to give you a penis and a brain. You'll derive from these great pleasure and great intellect." Adam replies, "Wonderful! But what's the bad news?" God says, "I'm only going to give you enough blood supply to work one at a time." peace - rudy Edited by rudy
