Wouldn't she be exclusive to God? Or maybe Mary was just a vessel for a miraculious birth, a word from God like the creation of Adam?

The Virgin Mary had to marry according to God because if she did not marry when she was with child, all would think she slept around then they would stone her to death. That's why God spoke to Joseph and told him to take Mary for his wife.

She was a flesh and blood woman, one who had inner needs of the Spirit to understand her relationship with Jesus, just as we do.Joseph and Mary were given to each other under the difficult circumstances that accompany premarital pregnancy. In their case, there was misunderstanding and rejection by their culture which detracted from the honor and joy that should have blessed the occasion. Thus she might have had a personal burden to assure the wedding was special for the people involved.Her life was similar in the circumstances she endured, the emotional struggles she experienced, and the spiritual process through which she progressed. She was not above us on an "other worldly" plane as some might suggest.Mary did, however, have a unique barrier to faith to overcome. She had to allow her relationship with Jesus to be transformed from mother and son to that of disciple and Lord.Luke 11:27-28 records the cry of a woman who heard Jesus preach:
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
Jesus pointed out that there was no special advantage to being his mother; the advantage resides in responding in obedience to Jesus as Lord. That is how a person has a relationship to Christ. I can imagine Mary being in the crowd and hearing that statement, and realizing how difficult it was for her to let him go from being her little boy to being her master

Muslim women are not any further allowed to marry christian guy and the significant reason behind it is that the religion of the youngsters born from that marriage is in all likelihood to be same because the religion of the daddy and not in any respect the mum which skill they're going to be christian no longer muslims. A muslim guy can marry a Christian women and any little ones born from this marriage are in all likelihood to adhere to the religion of their father and be muslim. besides Christan believe in God the daddy, God the son and God the holy spirit. the position did Mary come from on your question?

Why would Jesus not want an earthly father like a lot of young men and women growing up in single parent homes now a days??? Actually he did grow up without a dad. If you will notice, Joseph died early in Jesus life, because there is not mention of joseph in Jesus ministry, but matthew, Mark, Luke and John, do mention Jesus brothers.

Mary was not married to God. It was just a miraculous birth. Jesus was Josephs adoptive son, just as we christians are God's adopted children.

Sorry to send this to you, but your question shows your lack of Bible reading.
Mary was married when she gave birth to Jesus.
