Sorry for the late response...somehow I missed seeing your question. Actually in all honesty I don't know what I'd do or rather how I'll react.I myself defied my family's ideology of religion when I started practicing my faith, and my husband too is a convert to Islam. We are both people who chose to follow and accept Islam as our faith and religion after thorough analysis and studies, and not because it was the religion of our forefathers. Hence we cannot deny our child the same freedom now can we? I only pray that God always remains her guide and protector and guides her to making the right choices and decisions in life, be it in matters of religion or otherwise.
Many people from my husbands family and my own ask me this very question and my answer remains the same: there is no compulsion in religion! This is the words of God's Himself in the Quran so how can we say otherwise.
