I am not interested in knowing what the scriptures or traditions say about intermarriage. I wish to know that when we speak of good thoughts, good words and good deeds, what is "good" in how we treat those who marry outside the faith and their children?
More often than not, one of the parents disowns his/her son or daugher or stops communicating with him/her. The spouse belonging to the other faith is not always made welcome, thus creating disharmony in the family.
When grandchildren arrive there is often reconciliation. The scars, however, remain.
Can these actions be considered "good"? Who are they "good" for? I would love to hear if readers believe these are righteous actions.
