You should become Christian--or he should become Muslim. That way your family starts out with a similar religious standing. Marriage is hard enough without all these obstacles and differences. Religion can determine how you raise your children for example. Do not ignore this.
(In Europe people can marry whomever they want. Different Muslim countries have different laws concerning this situation--I would worry more about those countries, especially your country of origin. There are things on the news where ladies who married non-Muslims have been rejected from their families, etc. You really need to consider this.)

No - but a lot of the Muslims think it is! They believe that a Muslim man can marry a women of the book, meaning the Bible, and therefore this means that they can marry a Jewess and a Christian women, as well as a Muslim, but the reverse does not apply. Good luck! I would not take the risk.

In the UK there is no restrictions.In the Muslim countries u cant marry him unless he adopts Islam.so it depends on u,and Ur background,and where u intend to spend the rest of Ur life.also u mentioned that u don't believe in Islam,if this is true and u will not be pressurized by ur family ,and u think he is the write person, then marry him.

It is not against UK law. However, if Muslims find out, they will be upset. It is against Islamic law for you to marry a non-believer. If you were to travel to an Islamic country and they find out, you can be imprisoned or even executed. I strongly recommend you try to cut your Islamic ties. See about converting to his religion. That will help. If you love him, then marry him. Good luck.

As-salamu alaikum...
Secular law does not have any such prohibitions, however Islam forbids Muslim women from marrying non-Muslims. He must adopt Islam if he wants to marry you.

no, legally you are not prohibited from marrying a member of another faith. let's set religion aside for a second. you love him? yes. he loves you? yes. then go for it. religion shouldn't get in the way of true love. best of luck to you and i hope you find happiness. i think it's ridiculous for one person to have to adopt another person's faith in order to be married.
