: How does "Konvers" transliterate to "Konfession"? Doesn't it mean opposite/different? // well I think you have made an assumption

interdenominational marriage
If we are talking about the marriage of a Roman Catholic and a Protestant, then the two are not of different religions (both are Christians), but they are of different denominations within the Christian faith.
If if refers to people who really are of different religions (e.g. a Christian and a Muslim), then I would call it an interfaith marriage.

: Good point. In the stricter sense, 'konfessionsverschieden' seems to refer exclusively to different denominations within the Christian faith. See, for example, http://www.steuernetz.de/aav_steuernetz/lexikon/K-15303.xhtm...

Precisely - I started both parts of my explanation with "if", so you could simply have ageed with me.
