Can they get married, yes. Should they get married is the real question. That would truly depend on how serious they each took their religion. If neither are serious about their religions then it would not matter much. They both walk a gray line so there is no reason to not get married.
However, if they are serious about what they believe the question is do they believe in the same God with a difference in ways to worship that God? If they believe in the same God but are different denominations such as Protestant and Baptist, they can make a marriage work. They share the basic same principles, they both follow the bible, they believe in the sacrifice and res erection of Jesus, and they believe that the end result is heaven. They can make a marriage and family work by blending their religious beliefs together.
If two people considering marriage believe in two different Gods or one believes in God and the other is an atheist that is trouble waiting for a place to happen. If each believe in a different God there is no common ground for them to raise a family. They don't believe in the same end result. Either someone will have to give up what they believe or they both will struggle and fight over all of the issues that are fundamental in raising a family or even being a family.

Legally of course.
However, depending on how "religious" both people are and what religons they both come from, it may be a problem down the road.
How to raise their children etc. Make sure they REALLY talk and work out all those little finer details & kinks BEFORE they get married. Don't assume anything. You want to avoid the: I thought...? But you thought...? Well I figured. Why didn't we talk about this before...? stuff.
That way it wont cause headache and much heartache later on in the relationship.

yes, you can. There might be some issues about moral things but if its real love then you two can work it out. I grew up Pentecostal, but now I'm not. There are still some things that I believe is wrong but my b/f may not think that. You may have more issues to come up when its time for kids but talk about that before having kids. Try to meet in the middle.

Religion is highly overplayed, and you don't even need a religion unless you're unable to understand things on your own accord. A religion is like a school or a hospital and in my humble opinion, there's no need to belong to a formal religion for you entire life, especially after you understand what they should be teaching you.
Go ahead and marry the person you want.

Yes, you can even incorporate rituals from BOTH religions during the ceremony to honor both sides of the family. Consider having the ceremony at a neutral place like a hotel, park, garden, lake,etc.

AS long as they are prepared not make their religion an issue in their lives together. If they are both of age, then they can choose to marry at the Mayor's Office, Judge Office or a non-denominational church or chapel.

Yes they can. But I am not sure on how you would go about doing it. I mean on where you could have the wedding or get married at. My husband is a baptist and I am a catholic, and we ended up going to the court house to get married. It was so much cheaper and we didnt have time to wait to plan a wedding. Good luck to you.

There's no reason why not. The government doesn't look at your faith when it grants marriage licenses.
Depending on how strict your church is, you may have trouble getting your marriage performed in your church. However, for most religions that's not an issue.

Yes. The state provides marriage licenses, not the churches. The state doesn't care what religion you are.

YES. In every state in America it does not matter what your religion is to get married. You may have issues with your families accepting this.
My wife is a Jew and I am a Catholic and not only are we happily married but we got married in the church.
Best of luck!
