Interesting Hindu-Muslim Marriages in India:

Hinduism does not require that that the bride and groom be both Hindu, and many Hindu priests perform Hindu-Non-Hindu marriages. Marriages between a Hindu man and a Muslim woman are becoming quite common in the Indian Sub-Continent.

During the Muslim rule, Hindu men were prohibited from marrying Muslim women.

However, there is a twist in the tale in some Islamic Republics. In Islamic countries, like Pakistan, Bangaldesh, Maldives of Malaysia, a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man, since conversion from Islam to any other religion is prohibited. A Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman provided she converts to Islam.

The Allahabad High Court once said that marriage of a Hindu boy with a Muslim girl was not "unusual" in the prevailing social scenario. But do Islam approve such marriages?? Please go through this link to see how some dogmatic Muslims thinks on this topic: http://www.blurtit.com/q920678.html...

But wait there is also another case when Umar, 22 (a Muslim) reportedly ran away with Priyanka Wadhwani, 21, and the two got married on April 2 after the boy converted to Hinduism. This happened in April, 2007 in Bhopal. However, the funny part is that Bajrang Dal accused Umar of religious conversion although Umar embraced Hinduism and changed his name to Umesh. Bajrang Dal even formed an organisation to protect Hindu girls, 'Hindu Kanya Raksha Samiti', after that incident.
