What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?

I am a hindu girl in love with a muslim boy... planning to get married under Special Marriage Act 1954. I would like to know what religion should my children follow. Will there be any legal complications for the children. I would also like to know is there any possibilty that either of our parents can legally disown us.What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?
I had previously too answered such question with regard to religion of the children born out of inter-religious marriage, the religion of the children is an open issue let it be decided by the children themselves when they grow up, or let both parents come to a compromise on this issue in the interest of their children, let not their peaceful matrimonial life be spoiled by such non-issue such as religion %26amp; bring disharmony in their life, after all this religion has brought so much of distress in the whole world for every one.


As far disowning by the parent's of the parties to marriage, that is their own decision for which no one can say anything, whether they disown their children or not, this is entirely up to them, as rightly pointed out by the Apex Court just recently that in inter-religious marriage parents of both side have no right to object legally to such marriage if the parties to marriage are of marriageable age, what maximum they can do is to disown such children who indulge in inter-religious/inter-caste marriages, so let it be.What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?
The law doesn't choose the religion of a child. It's parents do. You could give them an insight into both religions and incorporate multiple aspects of it into your childs life %26amp; then they could make a decision for themselves. If you want them to follow just one religion then you and your future husband need to make that decision between yourselves.
In the USA anything is possible. But with your traditions of arranged marriage and his everyone must die unless they are a Muslim reputation, I say good luck.


You could play with everyone's head and raise the child Jewish ha ha ha!


Anyway make sure that both families are happy if not it will be tough for just the both of you. Ask him what he wants to do too.
Both of your parents should love you for who you are as a person, not for religious beliefs. Your child should be exposed to all types of religions, not just hindu %26amp; muslim. Let your child decide when they are old enough what they want after you have exposed them to all beliefs.
After marriage you would automatically become muslim. Takeing fathers surname in to consideration. No , legally they cant. But they can bare you from the property or other wealth that they want by transfering/nominating others in last wish deeds.
Typically its customary for the child to follow the religion of the mother... Then when the child is of age allow the child to select their own beliefs.
The religion (if any) of the child should be decided upon by the child when he/she is old enough to make that decision. Otherwise it's called brainwashing and that's never a good thing.
There is no way you can let the child grow up and choose for itself?
Marrying someone of a different religion is a recipe for trouble. I suggest you think again about the wedding, before it's too late.
