I’ve seen women convert for marriage here. Often for Christian->Muslim. Then if they divorce later on, back to the original.

It's called "Love" ......

What shocks me is the easyness with which men will do it, to please their "love" or their futur family in law....
Why wouldn't it be the girl that convert ? After all, if she LOVES you, she should propose it spontanously ?

Not to speak that if you give in from day one you'll probably continue forever.... And what about future kids ?
Not for me Ronnie .....

Well, in my case, then 75 and having had a vasectomy" I don't think so.

1 Kid in my first life (40+), 3 in my second life (Thai/French 31, 27, 26) all brought up without any religion involved.
My third life started at 60, Missus was 43, still good fun, but now it's time to simply enjoy life.... at 73 and 56....

A Hindu (Balinese) colleague once told me a Hindu man will never convert just to marry a Muslim woman. But a Hindu woman is "free" to convert to marry a Muslim man. Don't know if that's really the case. Nevertheless, I heard that Balinese Hindu is different from Indian Hindu.

A chilling reminder that in Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen the official penalty for converting from Islam to another faith is death. However the official ruling in these areas, legal systems typically provide a "waiting period" (up to 3–10 days) for the individual to recant (repent) and return to Islam before the sentence is carried out. Although state-sanctioned executions for apostasy are rare, with only a few recorded cases between 1913 and 2013. However, Many punishments for apostasy occur as extrajudicial or vigilante violence rather than through formal court systems.

My companion is Hindu.
She confirmed more than once that she will never convert to any other religion.
Anyway she is the youngest of 6 kids, and there is no way her elder brothers would let her convert. And what brother #1 says shall not be discussed..
Patriarchal society.

Nothing says confidence in the validity of your own religion better than saying that if anybody leaves it they will be put to death. I don't think even Scientology goes that far.

Jim Jones had the 'kool-aid option' ...though that was also for those who chose to stay in the cult.

Ok with th first phrase.
Not sure Scientology can be considered a religion...it's not even a philosophy.
More a guru endoctrination thing.
A bit like Jim Jones in Georgetown (Guyana) in 1978. Can not get my head around that....

Scientology is recognized as a religion in Australia which gives them an advantage of not being taxed on all the money they manipulate away from confused people who believe the rubbish that is supposed to be the essence of their beliefs. Gorilla implants, aliens and at one time Hubbard had a ship travelling around the world searching for treasures on the basis of evidence that the universe had somehow given him. If you are a celebrity Scientology goes to great lengths to flatter them and tell them how intelligent and wonderful they are. Can't for the life of me understand how Tom Cruise and John Travolta have allowed themselves to be misused to attract followers to this ridiculous mix of nonsensical ideas. They go to incredible lengths to try and intimidate and shut up critics.
