I want to know if the religion of Islam allows the Moslem man to marry the Christian woman?

Answer 1

Yes. Some choose only to marry Muslim. But the Muslim man can marry a Christian or a Jewish woman. Because they see these as the true religions.
I know because I am a Christian and my boyfriend is Muslim. And we are going to get married here in a few months.
However, Muslim women are not allowed to marry anyone but Muslim men. (I personally think that each person follows as much or as little as they want. My boyfriend, who is not REALLY allowed to be my boyfriend, and his family are more liberal than most Muslims I have come to know.
No you do not HAVE to convert. Some may want that or choose it but it is not required. Im not and my boyfriend is still going to marry me.
I really hope things work out for you and whom ever! I love my man very much and couldn’t be happier that after 2yrs it is finally going to happen. :) Good luck!!

Answer 2

I am not Muslim but I know quite a few things about islam, since i work in the middle east for years now. Muslim girls or boys are allowed to marry christians but also depends on how fanatic muslim you are. Some family will never allow their kids to marry not muslim, but see it depends on the parents but on religion, you can marry someone from other religion. the only thing is you have to be converted to Muslim or if not consider some few things a Muslim does, like no ham/bacon, or woman have to be covered or you have to go to the mosque. Actualy depends on the person and what kind of the family you married. some muslim are not that strict, you cant even determine if they are muslim or no.

Answer 3

I wish people would refrain from answering things they were unsure of. The answer is YES, a Muslim man CAN definitely marry a non-Muslim women in one condition: she has to be either Jewish or Christian (and by Christian I include Catholic, and all other denominations of Christianity). It is no mastery here in the US any longer, many of my closer friends (I am Muslim) including myself are marrying Christian women. What I would advise you though is to talk about every single potential issue in the marriage, such as: if we have kids would we want them to be Muslims or Christians? or to make up their own minds?
As far as converting it is NOT true. You can live a beautiful life with your Muslim loved one and not convert as long as you agree on important things in life. Many of my friends' wives have converted to Islam, but not because they were forced to (believe me, you CANNOT force an american woman to do anything; let alone converting), it's because of the infulence of their husband, the repsect he shows, the adequacy of the religion, the love, and the family spirit. Converting to Islam should be done by conviction not by force. I personally know a very well respected doctor up North (Michigan) who's been married to a Christian lady for 25 years, their relationship is so inspiring it's worth writing a book about. They have so much respect for each other, and their kids happen to be Muslims but the mother has no problem with that.
Let there be love in this world and let there be mixed religion marriages, it's only good for us. It opens up people's minds.
Good luck :)

Answer 4

A muslim man can marry a woman from "the people of book" (those who were given book(s) by God, this is a title of respect used in Quran (Muslims' religious book - God's final revelation) to address Christians and Jews).

But a muslim man is not allowed to marry a polytheist and because most of the Chirstians today believe in Jesus as a deity they fall under the second ruling. But those Christian women who do not believe in Trinity or deity of Jesus, Muslim men can marry them.

Although some muslims who are not well-read just take the first ruling (that they can marry women from Christians and Jews) and do not consider the second one (they can not marry polytheists) or fail to see that believing in Trinity is not a strict monotheism and falls under polytheism, they think they can marry all those who call themselves Christian.

Answer 5

Inter community marriages were not prevalent during the ages when different religions were born. Furthermore to protect infiltration of other ideologies and to bind society with an uniform set of ideologies, inter community weddings were not recommended. Times have changed. Marriages are no longer made in heaven. If two individuals love each other and are confident of spending the life together, they do marry without really bothering to verify whether such act will conform to religious standards.

Answer 6

In Islam ,Muslim men are allowed to marry pious Jewish and Christian women.The Qur'an says " Lawful to you in marriage are not only chaste women who are muslims, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,(that is Jewish & Christian women ) when you give them their due dowers, and desire chastity not lewdness".
There is no compulsion for the Christian/Jewish wife to convert neither before nor after the marriage and she is free to carry out her religious obligations.
