| Question: Nowruz and family | |
| Asalamu alaykom wa rahmatulla wa barakatu,
I am a woman of Iranian descent and I have been married for six months now. Every week on the same day we visit my parents and have dinner together. Soon it will be Nowruz where my parents celebrate the start of spring. This day falls on our weekly day with my parents. My husband stated that he does not want to visit my parents that day because of Nowruz. I am torn by this and feel lost. For the love of my parents I would never want them to miss their daughter and son-in-law, who they see as their own, but my husband is stubborn on this matter. Being there on that day does not imply that my husband and I are celebrating too, but rather that we are there for our weekly visit and are there out of respect for my parents, even if it wasn’t the same day as our visits. Our intention is to be there with my parents as their loved ones, and obviously who are my loved ones as well, and not to celebrate the festivities. How is your view on this? I know that it would break their hearts if we would be absent. |
