Answer 1

My cousin is a Muslim and he married an American... She is still attached to her religion and so is he...
Islam as a religion doesn't give a Muslim husband the authority to push his wife into his religion, however ur children should be Muslims by law...

I'm sorry to say that most of the answers above are misleading and are shallow in comparison to the purposes behind Islam as a religion...

First of all, about muslim men having the right to marry up to 4 women at the same time. This is because cheating is a huge sin in Islam, therefore men can remarry in order to avoid cheating and adultary as long as they would treat their wives fairly and financially equal, otherwise it would be unfavorable. Moreover, there should be a decent excuse for the man to remary and his current wife must be notified.

As for getting up to 1000 children, there is nothing in the religion of islam that requires or even encourages muslims to get so many children... Islam opposes anything that would hinder and burden muslims.

It is true that divorce in Islam is as easy as just the man saying "I divorce u", but that is only coz Islam values so much the gift of marriage and therefore divorce is an easy procedure for couples when they decide that they want to break their marriage.

Every rule in Islam has a purpose behind it, and if the guy u love really has a strict Islamic family and he knows his religion well, then he would never do wrong to u...

Wishing u the best

Answer 2

Muslim men are free to marry either Muslim women, Jewish women or christian women. You don't have to convert to marry him and his parents would know it is permissible as your a christian. However your children would be raised Muslim if you don't have a problem with that then really there should be no reason you both could not have a marriage. Good luck I hope you get some advice that is useful to you.

Lovely N i do not know of one Muslim man who has 2 wives let alone 4. No Muslim man can marry a second wife without the first wife agreeing to it. And there has to be a valid reason for that second marriage. In this day and age Muslim men only want one wife. Muslim men having more than one wife was really to do with the time of the prophet when many battles where fought and lots of men died leaving a shortage of husbands. Rather than see there Muslim sister go husband less or childless it was considered an honorable act to take on other wives rather than let them live never knowing the joy of being a mother etc. Without a husband in those times life was difficult and a struggle. In these modern times i honestly do not know one Muslim man who has more than one wife. Most of the Muslim men who i know who are not married are very serious about the wife they choose and are keeping themselves pure to share with that one special woman, does that sound like men that are demanding second and third wives?

Answer 3

It's not going to work. People who are religious and of different religions don't mix well as a married couple.

The Muslim religion places a women at a different level than a man, you have no real idea what you would be opening yourself up for.

Answer 4

IF you have ANY DOUBT at all about marriage, then it won't work out.
You should want to spend the rest of your life with this man, even if he DOESN'T change, and if you can't make that kind of commitment, then HOLD OFF till you BOTH have discussed the living arrangements AFTER marriage, and how each of you will worship. Or would he want you to give up your beliefs, in order to follow his?
A Christian is always better off marrying another Christian, if she really believes in her faith, and he should do likewise.

Answer 5

If a Christian or Jewish woman marries a Muslim man, the children must be raised Muslim. A Muslim woman is not allowed to marry a non-Muslim man.

Your husband would be allowed to (under Islamic law) marry up to 3 other women; he'd be allowed to stop sleeping with you until further notice if you did something he disapproved of; he may hit you with a miswak (which is a like a stick toothbrush) that is no bigger than the width of his thumb; and he may divorce you by simly saying "I divorce you" 3 times.

I would not recommend this.

Answer 6

You're both adults, right? So what it should it matter what your families think? If you both understand and LOVE each other, then GO FOR IT!

Religious beliefs shouldn't keep you two apart. Believe me: I'm an ex-JW and she's a Christian Catholic. Religion hasn't kept us from marrying or loving one another.

Answer 7

The love not defined by religion but going to be a Muslim I think it will be a big problem for the world.

Answer 8

My sister married a Muslim she met in England. That was a very bad mistake! They moved the the USA where he wanted to practice medicine. When she got pregnant with their son he tried to force her to have an abortion - she didn't and they split up after she helped get most of his family in the U.S.A. . God tells Christians not to marry nonbelievers. Jesus is God the Son and the only Way to be saved from our sins. (He wasn't just a good prophet!) Talk to your minister.

Answer 9

It will never work out.

Muslims are taught to marry non-believers in order to convert them.

Muslim men are even taught to lie to their girlfriends about religious differences - but once they are married it is his way or the highway.

Before anyone criticizes me for telling the truth about Islam - ask this question. How come MUSLIM WOMEN NEVER MARRY OUTSIDE THEIR FAITH?

He will convert you to his religion when he marries you. He will not allow you to practice your faith.

Islam is a political ideology. It believes that Islam should govern not only spiritual but political dimensions. For instance, Islam belives that Sharia law should replace governments in North America and Europe, etc.

Ask him about history of the founder of Islam, Muhammad. They say Muhammad was peaceful but Islamic texts about Muhammad's life describe his violent lifestyle as the General of Islamic Armies.

He had a female poet, Asma bint Marwan, stabbed to death in her bed because she criticized him. He took 6-yr old Aisha as his wife and had sex with her when she was 9-yrs old. He took 17 yr-old Safiyah as a sex slave after torturing and killing her husband, Kinana.

All that information is in the Islamic texts - the Hadiths.

Do not marry a Muslim man. He will make your life miserable. You can marry a Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Jew or atheist and they will treat your faith with respect.

Answer 10

Sorry to say this, but every Muslim I have met has demanded that their spouse become Muslim or their religion will not accept them. That mean you walk 10 steps behind him and you become his servant. STOP and think about this, this is not a good position to be in, Muslim men won't accept your religion.
