JustUs,
My daughter is getting married in a few months to a great guy. She is white; he is black. My wife's grandmother has some very racist attitudes about such things. Against my strongly stated advice, my wife's side of the family, as well as the groom, has agreed to simply not tell her about her great-granddaughter's engagement or wedding. She is very old, has little contact with us, and, if everyone keeps their mouths shut, will never find out about my daughter's marriage and future children. They are worried it "will kill her." They are also worried about being cut out of a large will. I have told all involved that I do not want to participate in this deceit and if contacted by the great-grandmother (which probably won't happen), I will not lie. What say you about this situation?
