I am a 28-year-old woman, a resident of Hoima City, and a married woman with one child. I am married to a Christian (Catholic) man whom I introduced last year. However, my father was not happy with me getting married to a Christian since our family is well-established in Islam.
It was a tug of war to convince my father to let my husband visit home, but later he accepted, though he put a condition that the function be held somewhere else, not at his home. Indeed, it was my uncle (his follower) who handled everything until the last day.
Among all the items brought by my husband, my father totally refused to accept any of them. Up to now, he never eats anything given to me by my husband, and he firmly told me never to accept anything from him. You can’t imagine that up to now, my father has failed to forgive me, something which is stressing me as a person. Sometimes, I feel like quitting this marriage, but again the man seriously loves me, and I have no problem with him.
My father never treats me like my other siblings. I am really confused about what to do. Kindly advise me.
