From a Christian stand point, if it's God's will.
From a marriage stand point, I would be worried.
I'm sure you love each other, but inter-religion marriages can be tough. Are you both strong in your faith? Are you both going to try to sway the other? Are you going to WANT the other to join your faith? How will you raise your children?
Before jumping into marriage, you both need to have a discussion about how you're going to live as a couple, how your kids will be raised, how holidays will be handled, how you both observe religious holidays, etc.

Even though I'm an Atheist, I might have some helpful input. I have been married to a Mormon, a Baptist, and an Atheist. The Baptist was the worst as far as being faithful and being a good person in general. She seemed to think she could justify doing anything she felt like.... and then get forgiven for it later if it was wrong. Well, maybe her god could forgive her, but I only forgive so much.
The Morman was pretty good, but she really got into some pretty wierd spritual beliefs and had to move to the West Coast for Y2K and the Millineum changes.... I just couldn't deal with giving up a thriving small business and the house I built for that, so we split.
The Athiest believes this is the only life she will ever have, and wants to make t the best she can, just like me. If we believed in souls, we would say we are soul mates. We have no one to blame for our mistakes but ourselves, so no Satan or Jesus to use for a scapegoat when we mess up.
So in my experience, it's best to be with someone who believes the same things are in control as you do.

It isn't a sin for a Christian to marry an unbeliever, but there is a parable.
God does not want Christians to marry non believers because they are not equally yolked. What they mean by that is as if there are two oxen pulling a cart, one isn't strong enough, and makes the other one slower.
A non-believer who marries a Christian can influence them into doing wrong, and falling away from their morals.

Dear Buddy, Go to the nearest Registrar Office and explain the situation. They would suggest with the appropriate ideas. I think they would ask these couples to register the marriage. Before that this guy needs to change his name / religion and for this an affidavit is required to be made through a Notary subsequently he needs to publish an ad in a newspaper. When it comes to the children, if it is required, you may have to adopt your own children as officially you would be getting married now only. I think that this way only things would work out. Best of Luck Thanks, Warm Regards & May GOD Bless G Senthil Iyappan

don't do it. conflict of more than one interest. your love may not be strong enough to compete with who's god you're going to serve. Plus your children may be confused. I'm a christian and I married a man who practices some of the muslim/islam faith. It could cause major unnecessary hassles. Anyhow, sometimes its best to go with your gut instinct and not your heart. Don't be unequally yoked.

Normally I'm in favor of any non-gay marriage betweeen a man and a woman, but here I'd be afraid of getting my head cut off while I slept.

No.
Do not be unequally yoked.
Are you more devoted to God or a human? Don't marry him thinking you can convert him. Be prepared at all times for the Lord.
