A Muslim man can marry a Muslim, Christian or a Jewish woman and they do NOT have to convert. They will also NOT be treated badly by their husband or by his family because of the difference. I should know, I am not a Muslim and my husband is. In Islam men are expected to treat their women very well. If he does not, he is not a God-fearing Muslim.

In this day and age, no one has to convert to anything. You're speculating on what his family wants, and it may very well be that they won't accept her otherwise. Of course, it may not be a problem for them at all.
So there is no "true" answer- it varies from case to case. In a perfect world, it would be enough that they love each other, but of course, we don't live in a perfect world.
I would make sure your daughter is made aware of the feelings of his family before she goes too much further in the relationship.

Yes she can marry a muslim man and he cannot force her to convert to Islam. it is her freewill he can provide her with information about Islam but it is her choice. The quran says not to force anyone into religion and to be a muslim you have to believe it in your heart and be convinced of it. don't worry about your daughter if he is a true good muslim she will be in the safest of hands and has more rights than anyone can imagine.

A Muslim husband has total control over his wife. He is going to force her to convert after they are married and she is trapped. He will abuse her. They are allowed to beat their wives. She will have no rights. Oh and Muslims are allowed to lie to infidels, which you and your daughter are to them. You need to research and show this to your daughter. I was told this by an ex-Muslim friend of mine. Most people in the USA are fed a watered down version of islam. Maybe that is what this Muslim man believes, but if he ever actually starts really believing in the true islam then he will change and your daughter is in trouble.
May God Bless you.

no she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to.
my brother married a christian and she is still a christian and we love her the way she is.
if she wants to convert then that is her choice not ours and it doesn't change how we love her.
EDIT:
to the guy above me, give me a break. hitting a women in islam is one of those sins that are unforgivable by God.
and your friend wasn't a real muslim! if he were he wouldn't have said what he had because it is not true!

The bible says christians should not marry nonbelievers. I dont suggest your daughter even decide to marry a muslim cause if you have children, there will be problems.It is one thing to marry an athiest and another to marry someone who believes something completely different. Her husband will try to teach their child the false teaching of the quran while your daughter will try to teach the child about Jesus. I wouldnt even date a muslim. There is something about islamic girls thats puts me off.Maybe the fact that if you married her there will be HUGE problems.

No she is not required to convert. My mother's cousin is married to a christian.

This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).

tell her boyfriend what Muhammed said
quran 5.51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
the quran also says that they can marry a christian or jew but they must convert and be a virgin!

Yes. One of Mohammed's wives was a Christian. His family may encourage her to convert, but she isn't obliged to.
