it will never work if they are both practicing, these issues will arise that will divide them!

First, let's talk about the family. How big is their influence towards the couple. Does your friend still financially dependent? How about her bf? What would the family do if they keep on the romance? Would they prepare for the worst case?
Second, let's see it by the law. In secular countries, I don't think it matters. But as a Moslem, someone is also asked to obey the Islamic laws. I don't really know about it, but as far as I know, it is okay for a Moslem man to marry a Christian/Jewish woman, as long as they're agreed that the children would have the father's faith.

I have very close friends that are Christian and Muslim and happily married. They both respect each others religious beliefs, and have agreed to raise their children with knowledge and experience in both and let them choose. Neither has given up their respective religious practices, and even participate in some way. The brides parents weren't happy, but they have come to love and respect their new son-in-law. So yes, it can work.

a muslim and a christian can marry ofcourse, and if they love eachother thn there is no problem, for them, the major barrier would be the families and how they would react, this must be tough for them as i understand how it would be annoying to face their parents. for me im a christian and my dad deosnt want me to marry a muslim because of how much his family would make sucha problems and doesnt want me to get into so much trouble and isolation with them. tht doesnt mean they have to stop, my parents dotn mind in general, but it tends to be an issue with alotof people and believe me the stories i've heard.

Of course they can get married, but I'll tell you this, my wife was Baptist and I was Catholic when we married and there were conflicts with that (especially after the kids were born). If one of them isn't practicing it may work out better. My wife and I had to find a new church we could both agree on. Good luck to them!

they can be married coz the muslim guy can marry a christian or jewish girl..but r they sure that difference in religions wont make problems in the future and they agree about how will they raise their children....i think they should talk about their life together and about its details to see if it's going to work out or not...but by the way i know cases succeeded to build good family...

Sure, it could very well work. I have seen it happening. As long as they don't force their religious ideas on each other, they should be fine. But if they tend to go with literal interpretation of their religions, then one day it will probably find themselves going in different directions, especially if they will ever have kids.

If they love each other then that's the important thing. Everything else is non important. Why let that get in the way of having real love??? If it's real love there then it will work.

If she is truly a Christian, she will not marry him, because her religion says the two that marry should not be "unequally yolked". This means the two people that marry must be Christians and believe in God, Musilims do not belive in the Christian God, so if she marries him, she truly doesn't belive in her religion, and neither does he.

A Muslim guy can marry a Christian or a Jew for sure.
