If you are a non muslim woman would u ever marry a muslim man?

Question

would you ever marry a muslim man who is very devoted to his religion, if not explain why, if you would marry him explain why.

Also is you are a non muslim married to a muslim how are you coping?

Answer 1

I myself was born into a muslim family, but if given the choice, i would probably shun the idea of marrying a muslim man.

Islam has been gaining a pretty bad rep recently (for obvious reasons), and I believe it has something to do with the many misinterpretations of the religion by its actual followers. From my experience, the majority of people who are truly devoted to this religion will have a closed minded way of life, and will not tolerate any form of questioning about their faith and will easily condemn you for it. However, that does not mean that all muslim people are like that, in every religion there will always be those who are misguided and blind in their faith, but there will also be their opposition, those who have opened up their minds to the rest of humanity and know that just because someone isn't muslim does NOT mean that they are heathens. Unfortunately the latter group is the minority, and what people see is the former. Keep in mind that out of judaism, christianity and islam, islam is the youngest one, and maybe it just needs some more time to grow, who knows really...

Now, if you were a non muslim woman, and a muslim man who was devoted to his religion would want to marry you WITHOUT asking you to convert, then either he is not actually devoted to his religion (so you wouldn't be marrying some crazy jihad person who wants to slave you night and day, it's just a regular guy >=), or he is one of the few who is devoted with an open mind (you get a guy who's got a deep understanding of humanity and love and contrary to popular belief, will probably treat you well)

I personally wouldn't marry one cuz i prolly wouldn't find that open minded guy, and they'd probably act like they owned me and try to subject me into believing i'm inferior and should serve them since i already have the muslim upbringing. so no thank you!

As the psychology and position in society and the household are different for the two sexes, so are the rulings regarding each. In the case of marriage, it is commonly recognized in virtually all cultural groups that the man is the head of the household. That is not to say that there isn't power-sharing between the spouses which varies from place to place and family to family, but men tend to have a dominant position within families generally. In light of this fact, Muslim women are not allowed to marry Jewish or Christian men for fear that they will have a certain amount of dominance over them and their children which may preclude them from practicing Islam. There is no guarantee stipulated within either of these religions which allows a wife of another faith to practice her religion freely. On the other hand, A Muslim man is required by Islamic law to not hinder his Christian or Jewish wife from practicing her faith. As to the expansion of empire idea, I would think "the more the merrier" would apply. If all the Muslims married anybody else, irrespective of faith, wouldn't that lead to this expansion faster? And yet, there are limitation for the specific reasons mentioned earlier. In addition, the exception for Christians and Jews is due to the similar beliefs and values that are shared as opposed to other faiths. On the demographic front, it is a good thing that there are far more single Muslim men coming to America than there are women or families. So there is some balance to the numbers in terms of pairing. Finding enough husbands to go around here in the American Muslim community is not much of an issue and neither is polygamy.

Answer 3

Muslim men in general are virile, strong, fearless all-male guys and the kind that women like =). However, women should not base their choices on the immediate but in the long term issues. If the man is religious, he is allowed to marry non-Muslim women from among the Jews and Christians (only), and Muslim men are not allowed to marry other non-Muslims such as Hindus, Chinese or Japanese or atheists from any extraction. The reason is clear. Ultimately marriage is the foundation of love and peace. Muslims are required to love and respect Moses, Jesus and the great ones of Israel, so the woman is not put in a position where her husband would be abusive towards leaders she loves and respects. Women who are Christians and Jews who are married to Muslim men are allowed to practice their faiths, but the children are going to be raised Muslims. It is accepted that the father is the head of the family in a Muslim household, but by marrying a Christian or Jewish woman, he must mentally accept that she will be practicing her faith and he should not interfere in this regard. A Muslim man can not marry a Hindu or Chinese lady as our religion does not accept the base precepts of their faiths and there is inherent conflict at the very foundation. Thus if a Hindu or Chinese lady would like to marry a Muslim man, she must convert to Islam first before that can take place.

Many times nonMuslim women can not find a husband because they do not allow polygyny and all good men are already taken. Islam allows a man to have more than one wife (if the local laws permit that), to make sure all Muslim women who wish to marry have a husband available to them.

Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslims who do not accept our Prophet as a man of God. As in our faith and creed, men are considered the head of the family, we do not wish to put our girls in the awkward position of having a leader for their family who does not accept our Prophet or would insult him.

In our faith God Almighty comes first, and after him the great men who are his reps on earth and we can not accept anyone who insults our Prophet openly or to our face. What people do in the privacy of their homes is their business. When a Muslim woman marries a nonMuslim male, she will either have to bear with him speaking against the Prophet in his home, which is his right, or she will have to change her faith. Plus, she will have to accept that her children may be raised in the faith of the man.

I hope this puts the picture clear for those who are considering either situation.

Answer 4

If you love him, marry him. I've seen many different religions marry each other. They perform two different ceremonies. After all marriage is not when you kiss the bride, it's when you actually sign the papers. In the relationship you will have to compromise and not press each others religions on each other. Respect is very important. If you can do this, then there is no trouble in the relationship. I would marry him if I were you and if I loved him very much.

Answer 5

O dear I sort of did. well its a long story in Egypt but he could not explain his faith. any time I asked he said I should convert so I read the Qumran and realized it was not true. first he told me we worship the same God the God of Abraham but they trace mo hammed through Ishmael who was the wild son. and although they use bits from the bible many are used with out the full story so it is very miss leading. far to many man made laws on top of all the Jewish laws Mo hammed had many about women being hi den or kept at home they are not forgiven though men are. I saw how the women were kept like prisoners in Egypt but Finlay he said he would divorce me for no reason so that was it

Answer 6

No, I am a woman. I will never marry a Muslim man, because I can't live like him. I don't believe the way he does

Answer 7

Well If I was in love with him yes! But since I don't know much about that religion then I would need to know more about it in order to answer the question correctly. If I were in a relationship with said man long enough to be thinking about marring him then I think i would probably have an idea of what my like would be like after the marriage, if it was something I would be willing to accept as my new life, I would probably have the answer already.

Answer 8

I have nothing against Muslims...or any other religious sect...But I personally would never marry a Muslim. Theyre way of thinking is not same as mine..I am Catholic . Muslims treat their women like 2nd class citizens..Besides being Catholic Im a Feminist...so marrying someone like that would probably get me killed

Answer 9

I wouldn't dream of doing that. Islam is a religion for the males. Females have very little say in that religion. Incest is very comon and since reporting it puts a shame on the family .So everything is hushed up. There is no court of law for the relationships and family matters in Islamic world.

Answer 10

Islamic terrorism is inspired by Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of Islamic terrorism unless we defeat the ideology behind it and that is Islam itself. Islam induces hate backed by lies. Muhammad was a terrorist by his own admission. All Muslims, to the extent that they follow him, are terrorists. Those Muslims who are not terrorists are ignorant of Islam and are not good Muslims. Fortunately they are the majority. We need to rescue them. If you are a good human being, you are not a Muslim. Read this site and if you can't prove me wrong, which you certainly can't, leave this deceitful cult of hate and terror and join mankind. Don't be part of the Umma. Umma is fascism. It is divisive. It induces the hatred of others. Be part of humanity instead. Your ignorance is not an excuse. Pull your head out of the sand and face the truth, like we did.
