Imagine raising your child in a loving and religious environment, only for them to demand that you hide your faith for their in-laws-to-be. This is the dilemma faced by a 49-year-old father and his wife, who are both devout Hindus. Their daughter (22F) converted to Islam during her high school years, and they supported her through the process. However, things took a turn for the worse when she asked them to remove all traces of their religion from their home and even demanded her mother remove her Bindi. Let’s dive into this story and see how it unfolds.
