Intermarriage is the marriage between partners who are from different social, racial, religious, ethnic or cultural backgrounds. Intermarriage is also known as interracial marriage, interfaith marriage, and endogamy etc. This can be between any Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist or any other religion.

Interfaith couples, who are of different religions, tend to live together in common law rather than in holy matrimony. According to a study made in 2006, 452,000 couples in Canada were of interrelationships. Families of prejudices tend to believe that interfaith couples marry to be rebellious against their parents. Couples in interracial relationships may have similar interests and educational backgrounds, but their family and cultural beliefs are different. Although it is possible for one or the other to convert to the others faith, many people choose not to. This is because the process is too difficult since they have to compromise between on another to figure out which faith to follow or mix both of their two faiths together.
