For vegetarians, what would you do if your kids ate meat or wanted to eat meat (both as kids and as adults)?
What if they decided they did not believe in Hinduism and convert to another religion? What would you do if they became agnostic or atheist? What about Christian or Muslim (mainly because these are proselytizing religions and have followers that believe that non-believers go to hell)? What about another Dharmic or Eastern path like Buddhism, Sikhism, or Jainism?
What if they wanted to marry someone that was not Hindu like a Christian or Muslim? Buddhist, Jain, or Sikh?
What if they decided to marry a Hindu, but the Hindu is non-vegetarian?
By the way, I am not a parent. I am way too young for that, but I am curious how Hindus should approach these situations. I know some families would disown the child, but others would accept this.
