Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have read some articles.Even from the strictest resource,it claims that a Muslim can marry a non-Muslim.
Please verify this.

I remember reading in one of the various books about Islam in my house that it is lawful for a Muslim man to marry a Muslim or a non-Muslim woman, simply because the children will ultimately follow their father's religion. (However, this is only the case in a patriarchal family.)

1. There are certain people that a Muslim is not permitted to marry. These are listed in the Holy Qur'an (see 4:24 ), and include mother, father, sister, brother, aunts and uncles, nephews and nieces. However, Muslims are permitted to marry cousins. There are still other prohibited marriage relationships. For example, a man cannot marry his stepdaughter if he has cohabited with her biological mother. Nor can he have two sisters in marriage at the same time. (See Holy Qur'an, 4:23).

2. Islam also makes clear whom a Muslim is allowed to marry as far as his/her religion is concerned. Marriage with an idolater is totally forbidden (see Holy Qur'an, 2:222) for both sexes. However, men are allowed to marry women of the "people of the Book" (i.e., those who follow a revealed scripture), although it is not considered preferable.

Your welcome

I suppose that this has been already answered, but from a Christian point of view it would be fine for a Christian and Muslim to marry~ (Heck, I know some Catholics and Jewish families! In fact, half my family is Jewish!)

However, most Christians prefer to marry another Christian, if given the opportunity~

Actually a Muslim woman can ONLY marry a muslim man.
But a Muslim man can also marry a Jew or Christain (People of the Book).
no Sikhs, hindus, buddhists ect...

It unfortunately happens though.... neutral
