Dear Ruby, I do agree with u partly,but in ur case the parents of ur husband wre angry for they felt like many others that u were"stealing their son" as I put it in my words.The fact is that most Hindus convert due marriage outside their faith irrespective of gender it is this fear that infact bit ur inlaws feared this.Throughout history of Hinduism there has been no reference of conversion to Hinduism by power of force coercion or by any other means.However most conversions from Hinduism occured in history thro maariages,coercion,and out of force.Hinduism does not believe in proselytization as such.Its tough to be a Hindu but I am proud to be one and unlike others I welcome u wholeheartedly-u were never forced on this u learnt the urself.May u be a good Hindu. Namaskar
