His continuous refusal has miffed his brother and other local Christians.Ram Bahadur was also pressured to marry a Christian girl from Bardiya, but he rejected the proposal and married a Hindu woman instead. “My refusal to marry a Christian woman as proposed by my brother led to lots of friction and our joint family separated,” he said.There are lots of instances in Dang of conversion into Christianity leading to severe friction among family members. Such friction is usually seen among families with both Hindu and Christian members. In many such families quarrels break out on a daily basis. Setu Nepali in Gadawa Lachhipur, a recent convert to Christianity, has been in a dilemma as she follows a different religion from her husband. “This difference between the wife and husband leads to quarrels and fights in the family on a regular basis,” said Sakaal Ram Chaudhry, a local teacher. “We have been telling her husband to be more considerate, yet the conflicts take place almost every day.”
