gentiles - Invited to Engagement of Girl intending to marry out: Attend/Not-attend?


We have recently been invited to an engagement of a Girl who intends marrying someone that is not Jewish. However, the girl and her family are related family members.


Firstly, is it permitted (in general circumstances) to attend such an event? Or, is there a basis that perhaps it may be seen as condoning such a union? Could it even be considered prohibited, or not?


Secondly, does the fact the girl is related change anything, in the sense that we have to consider that she might be hurt and offended by our non-attendance? I.e. If there is a basis for the first question, does anything change in this case?
