Is it possible to marry someone from a different religion. I am Muslim and my fiance is Jewish? Any advice?

Question

Is there anybody who as had similar circumstances to me? Because our parents are very against our wedding. How did you succed?

Answer 1

IF you are a true Muslim - then you shouldn't be getting married to a Jewish man or a man of any other religion , i.e. it is against Islam for a woman to marry a man of another the religion!

Answer 2

See this is the problem, religion controls too much. Marriage is not about religion. Marriage is about the joining of two souls. If you do not marry him because of your parents then you will resent your family. Don't worry about what they think. They will come around. Remember that no matter what they think, in the end it comes down to this, the choice is yours and yours alone to make. If you truly believe you will be happy then you will be. And if you really love this person none of that should matter, as long as you both understand that you are going to have to make some sacrifices in marriage, after all marriage is all about sacrifice of one kind or another.

Answer 3

I think it depends on how religious you are. If you are not so religious (as I suspect you are not being that you met and fell in love with a Jewish man) then you have nothing to worry about. Well not nothing, you have to worry about your families. But if you are not religious and are financially stable then go for it. Nothing ventured nothing gained. However if any of you are religious than it will eventually become a problem as religious belief is the hardest to overcome. Wars have been fought (and still are) for these beliefs. What happens in the Middle East is not going to help either.

Answer 4

Yes it is very possible. When I got married I was considered Catholic. My husband was Kemetic. We talked about religion a lot. He and I didn't fight about it at all I don't believe. We have been married for over 5 years now and have 4 beautiful children, one was from a previous marriage (mine). I am now Kemetic also but he didn't make me change. I changed because I wanted to and felt closer to his religion than to mine. By the way, both of our families are christian and it still works for family gatherings and holidays too. We may not celebrate their holidays but family get togethers are a great thing. Good luck!!

Answer 5

Welcome to Islam. Sister you're very fortunate to incorporate Islam. In Islam we like Allah the main and base all different loves in this love. Islam has allowed Muslims to marry human beings of the e book purely. So in case you have been married to a Christian or Jew and he had no objection which includes your changing to Islam then it replace into no longer necessary to break up. yet once you have already taken divorce and married to a Jew, you would be able to proceed with this dating in case you do no longer anticipate any objections from him. some scholars say that this permission is only for Muslim men as in accordance to them, women human beings could be pressurized. To such ulemaa I say, do they understand extra beneficial than Allah (SWT)? Quran is the final and extremely final be conscious for a Muslim and not the opinion of any student that's at variance with Holy Quran. Muhammad Javed Iqbal

Answer 6

You'd be in for a long and very hard marriage as religion
is so important for each person and there's a huge gap
between Jews and Muslims. You'd have a 1% chance of
a lasting marriage. With your folks also against this, you'll
have family problems also so your whole life will be turned
upside down. Don't risk it.

Answer 7

Neither parents should be bothered by the marriage if they truly believe in God and their own faith.

If your parents are the most against the wedding, tell them to read "Al Baqarah" and "Al Ankabut".

If either your parents or fiance's believe in God at all, they will just want you to be happy and be glad that God has brought you both together.

But what do I know? It seems to me that most "religious people listen to Iblis more than God.

My advice is follow the path that God has put before you. If you love your fiance, stay with them even if it means abandoning you family. God is more important than them and it's not their place to argue with God's will. They are welcome to email me if they disagree.

Answer 8

If you live in the USA, its fine. there is nothing wrong with it. your parents have the same issues as everyone elses parents of other generations; they will someday die and you will still be here, will you be sad and angry because you did not marry the one you love, or will you be in love and happy, and liivng with your wife, in a safe home in USA? also, in the middle east it happens all the time, mixed marriages happen all the time there mainly in the southern areas with less drama.

Answer 9

Love and understanding is the language. It would be more easy if both would turn their backs to their religion. To be reborn again. Free from everything. You were not born muslim or jew, people made that from You. Think about that!

Answer 10

Salaam, I am Muslim

Sister, don't marry that man. Your life will be unhappy. I know you are probably "in love", but sometimes we love things that are bad for us.

Your fiance may be nice right now-- but he wont pray, he wont fast for Ramadan, he might eat pork, and his family probably will want to raise your children as Jewish...His family will make your life miserable, and Jewish people are very very angry and hateful towards Muslims these days. Do you want to spend the rest of your life argueing with these people?....My Muslim boss married a non-Muslim woman, and she pretended that she supported Islam. But after they married, she showed her true colors. She divorced him after they had a child, and she told him "you take your Islam somewhere else!"......Sister, if your mother does not like your fiance--that is a very strong sign that it will not work out. Listen to your mother. She loves you more than anybody--and mothers can tell when a man is bad for her child... My mother and I didn't like my brother's non-Muslim fiance; and after they got married--my brothers wife cheated on my brother by having sex with another man...I'm telling you, leave these non-believers alone. They have no bounderies because they dont believe in Allah....Plus, non-believers don't wash their bodies properly, especially in "intimate places". They don't wash their behinds after they defecate (poop) in the toilet. They just wipe with tissue, and then they'll want to have sexual relations with you with poop on their butts. Gross. They wont wash their penis correctly, and they'll want to still have sex with you. .Sister, there are so many beautiful Muslim men out here--Muslim men are the best. They would love to meet you. Non believing men are awful. Plus, Allah already warned us that Jewish people are Arrogant. Very Arrogant. Allah is angry with them because they are ungrateful & arrogant..Do you want half-Jewsih chilrden? The bottom line is that Allah alrady forbid us to marry unbeleivers, and Allah knows Best. Follow Allah, and get out of this relationship. Allah may bless you with a Beautiful Muslim Husband.
