Love is boundless. When you’re in love, one’s race, religion, and country doesn’t matter at all. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s quite easy to say these things today since<\/span> interracial marriage<\/span><\/a> is quite common. However, decades back, this was considered a disgrace. Marrying someone from a different race was a matter of shame, and it was considered a sin.<\/span><\/p>\n What does the Bible say about interracial marriage? <\/span><\/p>\n In Bible, one can find lines where it says that if both are believers, then marriage across race is not a crime. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This concept has come a long way from being considered harmful to becoming common in the present time. <\/span><\/p>\n Let’s have a look at its history and what’s the present scenario is in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, interracial marriage statistics say that<\/span> around 17% of married couples<\/span><\/a> are interracial. <\/span><\/p>\n Did you know when was interracial marriage legalized? <\/span><\/p>\n It was in the year 1967. It was Richard and Mildred Loving who fought for equality and legalized it. Since then, there has been a rise in marital unions across race. <\/span><\/p>\n The law supported the couples, but society’s acceptance was needed. It’s believed that the approval was around 5% during the 1950s, which rose to a whopping 80% by 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n Cross-cultural marriages were banned or were not accepted in the society due to the difference in beliefs. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s understandable that when two individuals from different race and beliefs come together, there is a merger of two communities. <\/span><\/p>\n With this merger, there will be certain clashes and differences that will emerge, and if they aren’t addressed wisely, it may lead to the end of the marriage. <\/span><\/p>\n Before getting into the problems of inter-cultural marriages, let us have a quick look at the US law and acceptance.<\/span><\/p>\n As discussed above, the interracial marriage laws came into existence in the year 1967. <\/span><\/p>\n Before this, there was an anti-miscegenation law that prevented individuals from marrying someone from a different race. However, there were very few couples who were courageous enough to get married to someone they love irrespective of their race and religion. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite interracial marriage legalized, anti-miscegenation law was revoked, and there still exists some social stigma related to black cross-cultural marriages. However, the intensity is much less now. <\/span><\/p>\n There are broadly six types of cross-cultural marriages: Asians with White, Black with White, Native Americans with Asians, Asians with Black, Native Americans with White, and Native Americans with Black.<\/span><\/p>\n The interracial marriage divorce rates are a bit high as compared to the same race divorce rate. <\/span><\/p>\n It is<\/span> 41% whereas the same race divorce rate is 31%.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/span>History of interracial marriage<\/span><\/h2>\n
