IF ANY JAIN BOY MARRY FROM A HINDU GIRL SO THERE SON OR DAUGHTER WILL BE A REAL JAIN OR NOT? But use jain title?
Short answer: yes, the child can be Jain if they are raised and practice Jain principles; the religion of the child is not decided by the marriage alone.
Simple explanation:
- Jain identity is about faith and practice, not just birth. If a Jain family marries a Hindu and the child is brought up with Jain values, performs Jain rites, and follows ahimsa, vows, and other Jain practices, the child can be a Jain.
- If the child is raised in a Hindu environment and follows Hindu beliefs, then the child would be considered Hindu in practice.
- There is no universal rule that a mixed-marriage child cannot be a Jain. Communities may have opinions, but the core Jain teaching emphasizes individual conduct and spiritual progress.
- Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions both recognize that Jain identity comes from following the Jain path, though there can be differences in ritual details between the two traditions.
