You sure you are up for this! It has its own challenges and pluses too! You need to do a lot of thinking and research before you take the big step.

hey it's not a challange. It's a nice thought and offcourse practical. In india not only two person get married but they married their family too. i meant they treat their in laws as their own mom/dad.. it's actually a nicest thing and they get married not for this birth .. for next 7 birth too.. means so much of commitment is there... so b4 marrying an indian lady u must have to promise urself in every ups and down u have to be with her... all the best

Life is always a challenge. If you are indeed married to an Indian, then you ought to have/get a PIO (Person of Indian Origin) Card; it will simplify things.

Message me privately with a little info about yourself (do you work or are you a student, your age, where you are moving from,e etc) and I can give you a check list of things, basis that, that you'll want to consider.

Ofcourse, it is not a big challenge. Do not create a havoc out of the word "Indian". Indians have  welcoming, open hearted, accepting  traits in them. its is welcoming you to join our community, n for that matter, love has no boundaries be it any country, any community. Its your relationship and the compatibility which matters.

boo: There are not many Chinese married with Indians, but I think such a marriage will be a success - allthough very different cultures, there are some similarities, e.g respect for elders etc.

I suppose the language itself is a challenge. Apart from the fact that English is a common language here.... the maids, cooks, and -wala speak mostly in Hindi. And that might kinda add up the challenge in households.

It would not be a challenge for a girl with me...lol...i mean its fun being India i guess...i love it...and if somone is trying to gettin married an indian its a huge decesion satying here...coz probably you'll find everything but you wont find is that is you place where you belong,and i belong to here and i love being here and enjoin my life here its not that bad ! namasté :)

It really just depends on what kind of family she has, and how willing you are to adjust to her culture and values. But one nice thing about being in love with someone from a different cultural background is that you both tend to forgive each other more easily, accept a lot of quirks you wouldn't in someone from your own culture simply because you attribute them to another land, exotic things and a different way of life. Also, there's so much to learn from each other. Anyway, all the best to you both, and I hope you have a beautiful life together :).
