Should a marriage in an infidel country be segregated?

Family refusing to have a segregated wedding

What would you do if your parents and/or your prospect refuse to have a segregated wedding because it's an alien concept in your country and they don't want to make the guests uncomfortable? Would you call the wedding off or is it something that can be compromised?

Avice follows . . .

It is a test of prioritising ppl's wishes over Allah's requirements...your level of iman will determine who wins...

I personally wouldnt go for a man who prioritises ppl over his love and respect for Allah.... who knows, if you find a lady with the same mindset you'll both insist on your choice and make it happen! Having similar mindset can save lots of future troubles...

1. As you're the male, your parents do not have a right to tell you how to get married. You're old enough to get married, that means, you old enough for responsibilities, so you respect your parents as in you be nice to them, but that doesn't mean they control/own you.

2. Why would you want to get married to someone who doesn't understand something as basic as segregation?

3. If segregation is an alien concept in your country, does that mean Islam is also an alien religion in your country?

4. If Islam is an alien religion in your country, I don't think you have a choice in that case, unless you move out of that country and go into a country to get married where Islam and segregation are not alien concepts.

5. Or do you live in a country where people just call themselves Muslims but don't follow Islam?

Segregation as prescribed by Islam is definitely an alien concept in certain Muslim cultures.

Get an Islamic marriage, but that's it. Don't have your little party afterwards if people insist on you sinning.

........................
We're talking about culture here, most people never give up on their cultural beliefs, so I feel you're fighting a losing battle, a battle you can't win. I feel the only way you can win this battle is to not fight it, but instead sidestep it, as in, if you leave the entire culture, leave the country, and move to a country which doesn't have similar cultural beliefs. To fight a battle based on culture is extremely difficult and lonely!

I would like to comment too. As told by my beautiful people.
Just think that whom you want to invite for your marriage function Angels by true Islamic way of marriage or shayateen by nowadays cultural weddings which are totally against islam. Choice is yours that how you want to start your new life by blessings of angels or with in shayateen's presence. I believe nowadays divorce ratio is high because we are so much in to displeasing Allah swt and inviting shayateen instead of angels.
