No, a non-practicing Jehovah's Witness should NOT marry a Catholic. There are fundamental and irreconcilable differences between those religions.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers
(1 Corinthians 7:39) she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with them [other religions]. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
If you do marry, it should be a civil ceremony rather than one performed by a minister. Willing participation in a religious ceremony would make even a non-practicing Witness into an apostate.

I studied all types of religions and am still doing so. I was raised Catholic and studied Jehovah Witness along with many others. Do you both believe there is a God? Do you both love each other? Then what is the problem? Get married and live a godly life and everything will be fine. God Bless

Do you mean should you 2 date? Pretty crazy combo! I know someone that was both, and married a non practicing catholic. it worked out to worldly standards because neither one practice any religion. They are still unhappily married after 25 years.

As a Catholic myself, I don't think that it would be a good idea. You don't believe in the same ideas of religion. If you have children, how would you consider raising them? Sometimes the children are raised according to the mother's religion...Would you be comfortable with that? It would be confusing for your children because as a catholic you would be teaching your children one faith whereas your fiance believes something totally different. Is it a fight you are prepared to handle?

The answer is in the Bible.
(King James Version) 2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
You and your honey have different beliefs and it will eventually be an issue. You honey may not be practicing (now) but their beliefs are still different from yours.
Imagine (if you are going to have children together) how you will explain you and your spouse don't agree on your relationship with Jesus.
Something to ponder. Who comes first in your life...God or your soon to be spouse? I hope for you and your future, it's God.
Grace to you and God Bless!

For sure if the love is there. My wife and I had a beautiful Catholic wedding with a full Mass and my wife is not a Christian.
Anyone who quotes the Bible against this is a fool.

There are no denominations in heaven. No divisions. Only those who God believes deserve to be there. The lines drawn by this religion or that will be nonexistant. If you love her, and believe in your heart that it is right. Then trust God to send you on the right path

It sould not be a problem as long as you stay the same. But, If either becomes a Christian later on, you will have trouble.
