I am Muslim and I am in Love with a Hindu girl. I think my life will have no meaning without her. Is interfaith marriage permitted in Hinduism?? How can I convince her parents?

Interfaith Marriage in Hinduism

That largely depends on how religiously liberal or conservative they may be, with the latter more likely to say no. As far as her parents are concerned, only she could likely answer that based on her perception of their orientation.
Good luck, btw.
Permitted? Is interfaith marriage acceptable in Islam? (Perhaps she has the same question.)
This is nowhere near enough information for anyone on any internet forum to be giving any advice at all. There are way too many variables.

No, it's not permitted in Islam. But my parents are moderate Muslims. They do not have any problem with that marriage. But, her parents are very conservative with their religion. If interfaith marriage is permitted in Hinduism. Maybe I can convince them.

Her parents are very conservative about their religion. I think, they will never accept until I can prove the interfaith marriage is permitted in Hinduism. Anyway Thanks!
Speaking from personal experience, I can say that some Hindus do allow interfaith marriage, even relatively conservative ones, the main obstacle you will face is the negative historical perception of Hindu-Muslim relations.
If her parents have a positive perception of Muslims you will probably be ok, however if they have a negative perception of Muslims I doubt you will have any luck convincing them.
At any rate I wish you good luck.
Generally speaking it is the Hindus who are the tolerant ones in this situation. I know of several mixed marriages and the non-Hindu parents are often extremely disapproving to the point of disallowing it entirely, or kicking their child out of the home, whereas the Hindu parents support it completely.
But it's really up to you and your fiance to convince everyone, and I reiterate my previous words that this is no place for pre-marriage counseling.
Are you permitting her to ask the same questions on an Islam forum?
As to the basic question ...yes of course Hindus permit interfaith marriage. Some folks may believe it's not such a great idea, but that's a different topic.

There might easily be something I missed, but the only thing I found was about all the traditional prohibitions against inter-caste marriage between Hindus.
I do have a question that I might ask: where in your scriptures does it speak of inter-faith marriage? In other words, sometimes asking questions as a path to understanding can be fruitful.
Best wishes for a positive outcome.

They are so negative about Muslims. btw Thank You!
No. She is not asking this question to the ISLAMIC forum. The only problem here is convincing her parents. As my parents do not have any problem with this marriage; she does not need to do that. Anyways thank you!

Islam does not allow the interfaith marriage. Here is a verse from the Quran:
Allah says: “Do not marry idolatresses (al mushrikāt) till they believe; and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress even though she would please you; and do not marry idolaters (al Mushrikīn) till they believe (hata yūminū), and certainly a believing slave is better than an idolater, even though he would please you. These invite to the Fire, and Allah invites to the Garden and to forgiveness by His grace, and makes clear His revelations to mankind so that they may remember.”Qur’an 2:221.
Actually I am not in religion. Her parents are very conservative. She said they will never accept the interfaith marriage. and she does not want to hurt her parents. That's the problem.
