You are doing what is good and right, for you and your child. The fact that you are determined to proceed, knowing you will be frowned upon, makes me ADMIRE you SO much! My sisters are both married to men from staunch Indian communities, I have friends married into staunch Muslim families, so in a sense. I can grasp the path you are facing. You are very brave, and in that, you are also teaching your child important lessons, and giving her a strong positive role model.
