Islam is not an honorable religion after all...

Yes, it is possible to have a successful interreligious marriage, if both partners are willing to accept those differences.  There will need to be a discussion about how the kids (should you have any) would be raised.  You may choose to bring them up in one tradition while teaching them about the other, or perhaps find some way to encorporate both into their lives.  I'm from such a marriage (Jewish father, Roman Catholic Christian mother) and while I was raised as a Christian, we also celebrated Jewish holidays like Hanukkah.\n\nAs for whether one partner should be made aware of the other's religion, absolutely!  Especially since the relationship is serious enough to be considering marriage, it's crucial to communicate about these kinds of details with your partner if the relationship is to be successful.  Withholding that information is not respectful of the other partner, as they should be aware of the faith of their partner when they marry him/her (particularly if marriage is viewed as a holy union).

right ...thanx for sharing ... i would give some references from Quran , which would tell how much Islam respects Jesus and Marry :\n\nAnd when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.[AlQuran 3:42]\n\nAnd remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). \nHe will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous. [AlQuran 3:44,45]\n\nAnd because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.\n[AlQuran 4:157]

That would make you unequally yolked, and I don't believe God intends for you to marry someone who isn't a Christian.\n\n*EDIT*\n\nIf you two are deeply in love, then if she is the one, she will get saved.  If not, then she's not the one for you, and you should ask God for help with moving on.

I'm afraid that I do not know the proper name for a Muslim celergyman, please forgive my ignorance about that, but you could go to a Cleric in your Mosque, tell him that you feel ready for marriage and seek his advice about how to meet girls with a suitable background. He would know which families in your area have daughters of marriagable age and probably would be the person best able to judge which of the young women you might be compatable with for marriage.\nGood luck.

No, I would still marry them, because each person can have their own beliefs, and not have it interrupt the marriage at all. Religion is something that brings people together, not takes them apart. Besides if the love is true then they respect each others religion, so it would not be a big deal

Someone has to earn trust, you don't just give it blindly.  If it is a muslim that I have known and have earned my trust then yes, otherwise, no.

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.

Yes only if you convert into Islam.Don't pretend that you are Muslim if you don't mean it and don't become a Muslim just because you want to marry a Muslim girl. You should embrace Islam only when you are ready and I truly hope that you do that with honesty.\n\nDon't marry your girlfriend if you are not a true Muslim yet. You will get a lot of troubles then. I hope your heart will open one day to accept and practise the real Islam before you marry a Muslim girl. May God bless you.

Honor your parents wishes. If you are strong in your faith, it would probably be a mistake to marry someone who would not share the same faith with you. The one you want to marry should study what you believe and know well about your culture and what is important in your family.\n\nGet your parents opinion about how they would feel if you married someone who would convert to your faith, maybe as a hypothetical question.\n\nA woman should not want to marry a man who disrespects his parents wishes. If a man dishonors his mother or father, it is also likely he will dishonor others, (like maybe his wife and children).

Congratulations!I don't think so your doing anything wrong nor you should worry as religion is a personal thing that each individual should respect regardless of what one follows as long as you guys don't let the aspect of religion come into your love and marriage nothing can go wrong!Have a wonderful life and all the best!I strongly agree with your point that its not important what religion you follow but the most important thing is Your Actions or Karma as most of the religion believe that they follow the right path but i feel its wrong coz all religion takes you to one path i.e to God so its more important to be mindful of our own actions than spend rest of the life figuring out which religion is the best as it doesn't matter whether one is Christian,muslim or jew or hindu or buddhist as all faith takes us to one supreme power i.e GOD.People spend all their life thinking that their path or faith is right but in reality all  religions are different ways of reaching the truth so don't worry, people need to have a more open mind and it so sad that people just don't think!

I think this works best if one of you is less religious and the other one is responsible for the religion of the children.  That seems to be the way Shah Rukh Khan and his wife have it worked out -- he isn't very involved in his religion (Islam), so the children are more Hindu than Muslim (or so it appears from what I have heard expressed on talk shows).  \n  Children will be the biggest problem inside the marriage -- what will you teach them?  Outside the marriage, it depends on where you live.  I think Muslims may have more of a problem with your marriage than Hindus will, but outside those two religions, I don't think anyone will care.

If his parents found out no it should not be a problem. Certainly not as far as Islam is concerned.\nA Muslim man may marry a Christian woman.\n\nYou will only have a problem if his parents don't personally agree with it. But as long as you are happy, respect each others religions then his parents should be happy.\n\nI am a Christian woman married to a Muslim man for 3 years now (we have been together for 5years). His family are wonderfull, they never had a problem.\n\nThe only thing that may be of concern to his parents (which I believe someone else mentioned in their answer) is the whole "dating" process. But this is something you should discuss with your boyfriend, he will know better than anyone how his parents will feel. Other than that, this is only of concern to your boyfriend.\n\nBut anyway, if your question was only out of concern of the Christian and Muslim situation then no, it is no problem.\nI hope this all makes sense?\nJanie x

((( one of the requirement of for a valid contract is the approval of the woman’s guardian known as the wali.)))\n\n\nThe Marriage Contract: Its Basic Elements\n\nBy Bilal Abu Aisha\n\nAll praise is due to Allah, the Creator of our world and the laws that govern it. And Peace and blessings of Allah be upon His slave and final Messenger Muhammad (saws), the one sent to all of mankind, the one sent to guide people out from the darkness of shirk (polytheism), into the light of Tawheed (montheism).  Know dear reader that Allah (swt) has created things in pairs.  Those pairs must get together in certain ways in order for reproduction to occur.  The way for reproduction to occur amongst humans – males and females, is through marriage, known in Arabic as nikaah. Islam urges Muslims to marry, and prohibits pre-marital relationships.  Allah Most High says in the Qur’an: “Marry the unmarried among you…”1 Also, Allah’s Messenger (saws) in the hadith found in Bukhari and Muslim, commanded young people to marry, and advised those of them who could not afford it to fast as a means of controlling their sexual desire.  From an Islamic perspective, marriage is not viewed merely as a means of satisfying natural desires and passions.  Its goals are much deeper than just obtaining legal sex.  Allah (swt) points out one of the main objectives behind marriage by saying: “And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you might live with tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts (hearts)…”2 \n\nTherefore, the phenomenon of bachelorship or celibacy are UN-Islamic practices that result in devastation, effecting the Muslim community, and posing a threat to the Islamic world.  What devastation? What threat on the Islamic world? The answers to these questions are found in the non-Muslim communities.  Every day we hear and observe with our very eyes the perverted and sinful ways of the Kuffar (disbelievers).  These ways which they find acceptable in their societies have ultimately led to many types of diseases such as A.I.D.S, syphilis and the like, as a result of their choice to follow the unnatural way of abstaining from marriage.\n\nThe marriage contract is the formal bond that turns two individuals from strangers to husband and wife.  It is the most important contract that most people execute throughout their lives. Since the marriage contract has such great significance, the deen of Islam imposes a number of guidelines that it must fulfill. Many Muslims who are engaged in pre-marital relationships hold back from having the contract executed due to their ignorance about its elements.  So they continue to live a sinful lifestyle due to cultural influences which lead them thinking the process is too demanding.  Before delving into the basic elements of marriage, it worth mentioning here that marriage is a serious matter and should be dealt with seriously.  It is not allowed for a man to marry and then claim he did not really mean it, or that he was joking. The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “There are three matters in which it is not permissible to joke: marriage, divorce, and emancipation (of slaves).”3\n\nThe Islamic marriage contract has conditions, requirements, pillars and optional elements.  A contract must fulfill the following conditions and pillars in order to be valid.\n\nEligibility of Bride and Groom\nThe first of these conditions is that both the bride and groom must fulfill certain requirements.  The groom must be a chaste Muslim having attained the age of puberty.  He must not be related to the bride by any of the permanently prohibiting blood, milk, or marital relationships such as his sisters, paternal and maternal aunts, daughters, grand daughters and others.  He must not be prohibited from marrying the bride for any of the temporary reasons stipulated in the Qur’an and Sunnah.  So if a man has four wives, all other women become temporarily
