Yes they do. They call them people of the "book".\n\nMuslims do not allow women to marry outside their religion though. even to the people of the "book".\n\nThey had one book and thought they had hit a jackpot.\n\nBut seriously speaking they used to behead people who refused to convert and take their women in. so it was declared legal.

I am a Muslim. I will teach her what Islam is. I will also advice her to dress properly . Final decision of what to wear will be her choice.\n\nbtw, many people think women are forced to wear hijab by men. I know many women who wear hijab, eventhough husbands to do not like wearing it.

I say that everyone should do what they think will make themselves happy.\n\nI probably would not marry someone from another religion.  Too many differences.\n\nBut that's just me.

I understand your position very well. Where I come from, the society finds it hard to accept inter-tribal marriages into the mainstream - surprisingly even if both of you are Muslims.\nIt is very hard to convince Muslim parents to accept an 'non-believing' daughter-in-law, mother of their grandchildren etc. In your case, one can say it is justifiable (Islam only allows Men to marry PIOUS Christian and Jewish Women). Conversion to Islam, may help soften their (Your Man's Parents') hard position; I don't know about your's. \nOne thing worthy of consideration is that, contrary to modern secular opinion, in deeply traditional societies like yours (and mine), one marries into a whole family, not just a member of that family. So, by marrying him, you are kind of, inducted to his entire brethren (and sisteren :P) and vice-versa. Although both of you are educated and having jobs of your own, you will be surprised to find out later after your wedding how deeply rooted in tradition both of you can be. You may end up judging one another according your individual religious/cultural standards, and THAT can be a problem ("ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME JUST THE WAY I AM; PERHAPS I MADE A MISTAKE!!!). This spell trouble with capital T! especially from the Man's point of view.\nI know you are seeking some 'constructive' ideas, but I can't help but be selfish. I'll want to advice for you to convert to Islam (with sincerity on your part and lots of help, patience and perseverance from your Man), get married with HIS parents blessings, move to another area (possibly another country - to lessen friction between families) and settle there.\nI hope this helps...\n(A-K-B)

because if the father of their kids were non muslim it is most likely that they become non muslim too ... so here we just lost a family of Islam to a non muslim ones\n\n\nIslam considers the husband head-of-the-family and therefore requires that a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim because she will be under the authority of a non-muslim husband. He may\nprevent her from carrying out her religious obligations by either pressuring her or physically abusing her. But it is not the sole reason for imposing the restriction. The situation is\nconsidered very damaging for the woman to practise Islam afterwards and even worse for the kids in such marriages.  There are NO conditions mentioned under which a Muslim woman IS allowed to get married or remain married to a non-Muslim husband\nafter she has accepted Islam. Therefore, even if she has freedom to practice Islam after marriage, she is NOT allowed to enter into an inter-faith marriage.

A muslim can go as far as they want if that relationship is marriage :-))\n\nBut seriously outside marriage any kind of fornacation is a sin, and by fornication a mean anything even a lustful look. There is a Hadith that says that it worse for a man to have an axe through his head than even accidently touch who is not his mahram (wife or blood reletive) women.\nFor women (like me) when I'm outside or with non mahram, I must wear hijab (cover myself fully) and I'm not allowed to be alone with a man. etc etc.\n\nWhen I do decide to get married it is not islamic to have a long engagement etc. And I won't be alone with my finace untill after marriage.  Tipically family and friends help find prospective partners, and then arrange a meeting where maybe they leave us 2 in a room, and they wait outside with the door open! And then if you are still not sure it is ok to ask questions by phone etc, before you get married.\n\nBut as you see it is very different from the western version of romance!!

For Muslims? yes\n\nWill she convert to your religion to prove her love? \n\nDoes not look like it otherwise you would not been asking this question.\n\nSo she keeps her religion first and you secondary .\n\nWhy she does not open her mind ? and convert to your religion?\n\nAll Muslims are going to tell you that you must convert . But it goes both ways.\n\nIf she wont be Muslim anymore You will not have any problem marrying her.\n\nThough under civil law you can marry her, without either of you converting.\n\nAfter marriage a girl is supposed to join husbands family, it looks like you want to do opposite.\n\nAre you sure about conversion? \n\nIf you convert then what? \n\nWhat Islam has in spiritual section which advait Vedanta does not cover ? We do not have a one book religion not narrow definitions. There is so much to learn that whole life time is short. But the freedom Hinduism gives is unique.\n\nYou will be just getting loosing your family and if your marriage somehow did not work, you will have already lost too much. Because the moment you leave your religion for marriage , you lost an identity , you had since birth.\n\nUnder civil law you both Will be better off. Nobody will be loosing his/her personal belief yet get full benefits.\n\nOr you care more for the relationship to continue than her?\n\nGet another Girl will be my suggestion If she insists that you should really convert.\n\nOtherwise you are going to end up frustated after a few years.

If he is really in love with her.  It doesn't matter what is his religion. If he wants to marry her, he must first convert to Islam, or he can NOT marry her.  It is as simple as that.\n\nAll it takes to become a Muslim is to profess the belief in Allah and his prophet is Muhammad.\n\nMuslims believe in God, and they call him Allah, that is what they believe is his name.  They believe Allah has 99 names.

Firstly Muslim Man can marry only Muslim , Christian or Jewish Woman, because all of them beliave in God.\n\nSecondly the steps of marriage are simple in Islam, only the couple need 3 conditions:\n\n1- He have to ask her (Do you accept me as a Husband, treating you in the best way as God order us, she have to aswer Yes I accept - if she want that).\n2- At least 3 persons should attend this protocol as a witnesses.\n3- Both of them should intend to Continual life.

marrying a protestant is easy.  he/she just has to have been baptized and promise to raise the children in the Catholic faith.  Then it's just a matter of signing a paper.\n\nMarrying a Muslim may be more challenging.  I'm not really sure, but I think they may spend more time counseling to make sure you have really addressed where each of you are spiritually.

This completely depends on how strongly you and your girlfriend feel about religion. You have several options:\n\n1. Marry her, but keep your current religions. If either of you come from religious families, marrying outside of your religion may cause a great deal of tension. When my Romanian Jewish father and my Filipino Catholic mother got married, they took this route. Many of my father's Jewish relatives didn't speak to them for several years. However, after I was born, his family members came around and reconciled with my parents. Sometimes, these situations take time. How would your families react, and what are you willing to deal with? How would you want your children to be raised? I celebrated both Christian and Jewish holidays my whole life, and I feel that this gave me a great respect and appreciation for religious customs. However, if raising your children as Muslims is important to you, now is the time to talk about these things.\n\n2. She converts to Islam. This could also work. My friend is half-Pakistani and half-Filipino, and her Filipino mother converted to Islam when she married her father. Her mother's side of the family was not very happy about it, but religious conversion is a very personal choice, so no one really held that against her. Talk to your wife about her feelings on this topic. Tell her that you would like to marry her, but that you are concerned about the fact that she is not the same religion as you. Ask her if she would be open to learning more about your religion and, if it feels right to her (no pressure, of course!), would she ever think about becoming a Muslim and raising a family together in Islam? \n\n3. You convert to her religion. This doesn't seem like something you are considering, but it's similar to #2 above, so I'll just cut to #4...\n\n4. None of the above. Yes, it's possible that neither of you are willing to change your religion or imagine a marriage/life with someone of a different religion. If this is the case, it's going to be a very tough decision. It sounds like you love her enough to want to marry her, but the religious difference is a stumbling block. Can you live without this woman in your life? Or, can you find an acceptable compromise that both of you will be happy with?  This situation is very common, and it can definitely work! My parents have been married now for over 30 years. :)  Good luck!
