He may lose his family over that issue. That is a big deal for them. Far worse for Muslim women falling in love with a none Muslim man.
He has to try to reason with them and talk to them and convince them somehow that he made a right choice. If they (his family) are really obtuse he is screwed. What a shitty situation.
The dude above is right...he can marry from any religion...it's just his family does not seem to be "excited" about the idea.
If I was him I would marry the woman I love and respect regardless of the religion.

Muslim women marrying non-Muslim men in the hope that they may become Muslim What is the ruling on a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim man, especially when she hopes that he will become Muslim after marriage? Many Muslim women claim that they cannot find suitable Muslim men, and that they are faced with the threat of having to commit sin or live in extremely straitened circumstances. Praise be to Allaah. It is forbidden for Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, according to the Qur’aan, the Sunnah and the consensus of the scholars (ijmaa’) (see question # 689) . If such a marriage takes place, it is invalid, it does not have any impact upon inheritances according to sharee’ah, and any children born from this union are illegitimate. Hoping that the husband may become Muslim does not alter this ruling in the slightest. Islam Q&A Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

In Islam, men can marry women of another religion. Women must marry muslim men. So I don't see what this dude's mom's problem is all about. My mother tried to set me up with a muslim woman a few times, I wasn't interested in middle eastern women so I told my mother I was gay (which is not true --but she stopped trying to play matchmaker).

Muslim families are always against son marrying a non Muslim, and that will never change, but finally when they see how much their son loves that woman and he would never accept anybody else they will learn to accept her and welcome her in the family.
He just have to hold on a while longer and they will get used to the idea with time.
I know so many cases, including my brother who married a French lady and she turned out to be a great person, our family loves her now very much.

His non-Muslim wife is going to have a very hard time with his family if she marries him.

You have to follow your heart. And remember Allah knows your heart. Live for yourself not your family. Don't marry a women that you don't love, no matter what. In the end you will hurt her and you want to treat people the way you want to be treated. If you marry her you still will not be able to sleep because you will not be happy. I have Muslims in my family and one did marry a non Muslim and she converted and it didn't last. Now they are divorced after 9 months. So again PLEASE follow your HEART. In the end your family will get over it. I know its hard to go against your mothers wishes, but hopefully she will except your decision.

He can marry her. it's accepted in Islam. and the family has no influence whatsoever over the man's choice of his wife. if he submits to his family it will be because of traditions.. not religion.

Tell him to stand up to his mother and not do it. Period. If he doesn't want to get married, he shouldn't have to no matter what culture he subscribes to.
Interreligious couples happen all the time. It isn't a big deal. Through tolerance and acceptance, everyone can find true happiness.
But on the flip side, do you really want to be the daughter in law they dislike? Do you really want to bring children into a potentially bitter situation? Stress causes problems and that might be a stresser you don't want if your man wont stand up now and hasn't habitually stood up in the past. Period.

"Not without my child" was a Sally Fields movie on this subject. The wife ended up not very happy after her husband took their kid back with him to be raised a muslim.

first thought that comes to my mind is to convert your religion that way the family can see you are both serious and maybe accept you..otherwise don't convert, get married anyway, and his family will probably dis-own him. their religion is very important to them and something like this can and more likely will disrupt that. just my opinion
