can a muslim man marry a woman from another faith or will she have to become muslim?

Answer 1

He can..but only to people of the book
(Muslim, Christian, or Jew)
but Islam does not recommend it because raising the children will be very hard with to religions.
The reason a Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim women is because the children take the fathers religion and last name.
the father is the one who supports the family financially.

Answer 2

Yes a Muslim man can marry a women who is not a Muslim herself and she will not be under any obligation to accept the Islamic faith if she doesn't want to.

It is also true though that any children born from such a relationship would have to be raised as Muslims.

Answer 3

A Muslim man can marry a woman who is either Jew or Christian, and is pious, honest and of good and noble character. However, it is highly recommended for a Muslim man to marry a Muslim woman instead of a Jewish or Christian woman because of the problems that raise between a Muslim husband and a Jewish/Christian wife, like..

1. Whether their child would be Muslim or not.
2. whether the wife should wear hijab.
3. whether the wife can drink beer.

and obviously the differences in two faiths.

It is also obvious that a Muslim woman, regardless of who she is, is better suited to a Muslim man than a woman of Christian or Jewish faith, regardless of her merits.

Answer 4

Answer 10

technicaly i think but she will be bored to death, she'll feel pressure from him pushing islam or hijab (scarf etc) to her.. she'll be at home for the rest of her life might die of a heartattack.. she cant raise her kids the way she wants.. she cant even LOOK at another guy.. (unless she wants to be beaten by the husband based on islam laws) and i think its illeagal or its a sin for the girl to find a job..
