i don't know if he will make u turn muslim or not, but it is unnecessary for a non muslim girl to convert in order to get married to a muslim man....cos ultimately the wife will begin to live the lifestyle and she will naturally convert herself (tat's wat i learnt in converts school)... but it is best u discuss this with him now or else problems will arise later esp when u start having kids... kids normally will follow the dad's religion.. think of all this before u decide to commit urself...
ps: i m a muslim girl and i m going to marry a non-muslim guy.. we're going thru hell trying to get married now... wish me all the best ya!

There is no easy answer to this and the possibilities are many..
A muslim man that is deep in his faith and tradition would generally never be in a serious relationship with a non muslim. Although today many muslims are migrating all over the world and tradition is being tested...
Tradition is something that is faith based but even more so family based. If he has an open minded family that accepts you as you are.... he will be free to marry you. However some families can impose strings... One would be that you convert.
Religion is not the only area of question. Muslim families are male dominant. Which means they decide everything. Not only could he require his wife to convert but he could also require her to adhere to his cultural traditions... You see how I said...he requires? Yes the man tells the wife how to behave to his satisfaction....
There is a lot to consider when you marry outside your faith and your way of life. Be sure that his expectations are well within your limits of what you consider to be acceptable to your belief system. Otherwise you will be in for the shock of your life.
Also keep in mind...if he is 2nd or 3rd generation muslim-american... you are far less likely to have the stereo-typical problems associated with religion, family and culture.

Who ever tells you yes does not know anything about Muslims. I am a Christian and my boyfriend is Muslim and we are going to get married some time next year and I do not have to convert! Muslim men, and men only, are aloud to marry Christian, or Jew. They believe that these are the 3 true religions. Now, if he wants you to convert that is a different story. You should defiantly talk to him about that. Let him know your honest feelings about it. Ask him to be honest with you. It will help you both in the long run. Plus think of this, you know your guy. Is he controlling even on the smallest of level? If you really think he would tell you that you have to do this or anything else or he wont marry you then no matter what religion he is, he's not the guy for you! If he loves you and wants to be with you than he loves you for you and he knew that you weren't Muslim when you got together. So, talk that the best thing. I dont know about your guy but my guy is more sensitive to these things and he will let me know that it doesn't matter, so long as we both believe, that's our only thing as we both agreed. So, good luck to you both, I hope it all works out to the best. :)
PS I really hope that you wont listen to these people who seem to think that they know for sure how things are in their narrow looking glass. Some of the posts you have are absolutely wrong. Some of these people are just prejudice or something like that. You and your boyfriend are different so dont think it will all be peaches and cream. Me and my guy have problems and we talk about them no relationship is easy. But ultimately we love each other and RESPECT each other. He is more respectful of me than A LOT of men I have met and by the way my parents and family love him. Im sorry if I have taken some of the posts to you a little personal but I do not like it when people speak uneducated. If a person has had a bad experience that is theirs and as I said before you know your guy. Not me or them. Follow your inner voice and heart. Best wishes.

Not necessarily, A muslim man is allowed to marry a fellow muslim, christian or a jew. If you do not belong to any of those previously mentioned religions, then he can not marry you.

Depends on the man. The bigger question is - what are you? Does your philosophical outlook on things allow you to marry a muslim, regardless of whether he'd want you to convert?

if a non-muslim marries a muslim,by religious law they will have to convert.but nowadays there are civil marriages where the non-muslim partner do not convert.it is really up to you.

What is your religion? I have met white girls who have been converted wearing all the veils and the like. I dont agree with this but it isup to you to decide. Also He may want you to stay at home and not get a job. You will basically be a prisoner.

No! His religion does not mention something like that. Make sure he respects and loves you for who you are and what you stand for. Remember you are doing the same thing...
