to ReDWinE: yeah, absolutely i would like to ask you more questions. i am assuming you provide the muslim part of the relationship? if not please correct me. my first question (although not the most important but i am really wondering) how did you get married? like, in the name of god as in christian belief or in the name of god through the muslim belief? i always wanted to say (hoped) you could do it through both but i really have no idea, and it's probably wishful thinking. please respond soon.
thanks

They can't marry eachother. Islam forbids permanent marriage between a Muslim and someone from the book(Christian-Jews). i think Christians can't marry Muslims too. so i guess one of them have to convert.(and the same thing with Jews).

First of all a muslim woman cannot marry EXCEPT a muslim man it is against the teachings of Islam for her to do that for a very simple reason it is because that will lead to any children to follow their father's faith. My dad was a christian (he used to follow the church of England) he converted to Islam in order to marry my mother, they married under the muslim laws, and after living together for 13 years they divorced and my dad still follows the teachings of Islam & is still a muslim to this day, so am I. my dad's family were a bit terrified about him becoming a muslim as it was in the 1970's and they did not really know much about islam, and we are one family despite the differences in our beliefs & religion. we are very close and i have a very close relationship with my family from both sides.

I don´t know such couples but personally i don´t see why people would have interfaith marriage, there is just too much risk and struggle when two people have such a gap in the principles that drive their lives. It would give me a headache specially if you both are strong believers, it does not make sense. In the end you will feel so bad cos you want to save the other from hell cos you think you are right.
One the other side, one may convert but how do you know it won´t be you and that is what will get you to hell.... Outch.. i won´t go there.

My husband is Muslim and I am Catholic. We were married by a sheikh. We have a marriage contract. That was the religious ceremony aspect of it. So we are married in the eyes of God. Now what we are doing is a symbolic ceremony with an officiant and taking some of his traditions and some of my traditions with a non-alcoholic reception to follow to bring our two families together.

My aunt is Christian (She is Cherokee - Native American) and my uncle is Muslim (He is from Iraq).
They met a long time ago and over time feel in love with each other. My uncle is a very peaceful and sweet man. He absolutely dislikes what is being done in the 'name of Islam'.

They can't. My friend is a muslim from Oman who has a christian boyfriend from Lithuania. He keeps asking her to marry him but unless she denies her family and changes religions, they can't marry.

If the couple respects each other's beliefs and culture and agree on how they will raise their children, it can be a happy marriage.

If neither of them are strong in their faith, I guess it could be done.
