Please help me out. What are some reasons letting go of your ethnic and religious background would not be liberating? TIA

    I'm sure there are many reasons but the first thing that comes to my mind is family. I know if I rejected the Christian upbringing my parents gave me, they'd be heartbroken. And my family isn't very "cultural", but for people who are, I'm sure that'd be a big deal! All (or most) family get-togethers revolve around holidays and other cultural events. Leaving behind your religion or culture is more complicated than it might sound. I guess IMO, it's something you can't really "leave". It's something that's a part of who you are.

    I think you'd need to do some research, but the first thing that comes to mind is that any time an oppressor wanted to subdue a nation of people, they banned their religious and ethnic expressions.  I'm sure you could find studies on how celebrating traditions improves quality of life and self worth.

    What about sense of community and belonging? Like a "togetherness".

    It could be scary, uncomfortable, unknown, isolating, economically disadvantageous, emotionally burdensome etc. if she's being forced by a new husband or tricked by a family friend etc etc

    From a geneological standpoint: future generations may feel like they don't "belong" anywhere.

    I'm speaking from personal experience.
