How can a Muslim sister who has recently converted inform her Hindu parents about her conversion to Islam, while she fears they might disown her, and she refuses to link her conversion to Islam with marriage?

Our advice to the sister who embraced Islam depends on the consequences of informing her parents. If informing them will cause her harm, we advise her to postpone it until her faith strengthens and her knowledge increases. Muslims should strive to help her find a righteous husband and a suitable environment for her if she separates from her parents. Her parents' assumption that her conversion is for the sake of marriage does not harm her, and there is no sin upon her in this marriage if it protects her and helps her adhere to her religion. It is advisable to consult scholars and experts in her country.
