What will be the troubles that they will face for getting married?
What will the problems for each, considering that they are from different countries, different cultures and different religions?
What will be the problems for her, if they will live in an arabic country?

I was a Christian that married a Muslim man, (I have since converted, entirely of my own choice, there was no pressure of any kind). His family was kind and very nice to me. There are problems of course, like any marriage. I am an American and he is Egyptian so there is a big cultural difference. Some of the things that I have been taught all my life are different that what he has been taught. But I think that we have overcome these now.
Inshallah. Living in an Arabic country can be easy or hard for her, depending on which one, we lived in Saudi Arabia for 2 1/2 years and it was difficult at first because I didn't know anyone from any Western country, least of all my own. I was very isolated and became depressed. When we moved to a compound where I had the opportunity to make friends though, it was a lot better.
The most important thing is to respect each other, make an honest effort to understand each others point of view and realize that no issue is as important as your marriage is. Learn to pick your battles. But then that is the same in any marriage.

It is not a sin for a muslim to marry a christian lady. The quran permits it.
Troubles are there in every wedding. As even both are from the same faith, they do have other differences and I believe when their faith is different they will have more trouble to adapt to each other.
"How many a fleeting desire that lasts but an hour brings about enduring sorrow. - Imam Ali "
You fall in love, love is a nice experience, but marriage is another experience. You can fall in love ten times a day but to find a right companion is very difficult. Some even do not succeed in a lifetime.
It can also be one from different faith. It depends on how they can compromise, to which extent they can go to make the marriage a success.
Now about different countries, that's another problem. I can say it is even worse than different religions. Different countries have different atmospheres, different landscapes, different mentalities, cultures, traditions, ways to speak, code of dressings, different reactions from people... different ethics and values.
Not only arabic, but any other country life will be difficult for the one who has to leave his/her birthplace. You might feel like being castrated in a jail without barrows...

1. I think it is fine that a Christian lady marries a Muslim
2. I think the the trouble they will face is very minimal
3. coming different cultures and different countries might affect thier realationship. But religion wise they are the same
Quote: "The closest one in love to a Muslim is one who says "I am Christian."
4. They probably couldn't live in an arab country

To be honest, this is pretty tough. You both believe in two completely different religions. You both are from completely different cultures. I mean now, you're going to be like "Well, we both love each other and that's all that matters." Yes, that's true but reality check - you both need the same aims in life. Hindu parents are known for being stubborn which will make your life hard. By participating in their stuff is wrong for you be cause that's against your religion. You guys are already avoiding the whole children's religion topic, when you guys do have kids then trust me, you will argue because the issue is so big. I won't tell you to NOT marry him but I will tell you to have a long think about this.

If they both realize that love is the only real thing between them .
They should cast aside religious beliefs and be there for each other .
They should not be together for the belief of something not proven .

It depends on what type of woman you are. Christian or otherwise. Be ready to CONFORM!! To strick mindsets, lifestyle, and the raising of your children. Ask yourself is it worth it? Can I do it? Should I wait? For the Mr. Right that is right for my peace of mind and comfort. Or do I enjoy dictatorship?
