Answer 1

There is nothing wrong in getting married with a person belonging to another religion. If you both have proper understanding amongst yourselves, respect for each other, respect for each other's religion & families. There is no condition with regards to changing any ones religion just for the sake of such inter-religious marriage then you must go ahead & get married by civil marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1955 if you both are in India. As far the consent or agreement of this marriage with the parents is concerned there is no such condition required in such civil marriage. The necessary conditions & procedure to be followed in such marriage is as follow: - You both belonging to different religion can marry in the court without changing your individual religion. Court marriage as you call it is solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 all such marriages can take place between any two Indian citizens as well one Indian citizen with a foreigner irrespective of their religion, caste or creed, and you can say this is the secular form of marriage available in our country. Such a marriage is solemnized before the marriage officer/registrar usually D.C. deputy commissioner of the area (Sub registrar/SDM is the marriage officer/registrar only in case the already solemnized marriage under any other Act has to be registered) where both or any of the parties to such a marriage reside permanently or for at least one month. Cost of such a marriage is merely Rs90/- or as the rate prevalent in your area. Now how you proceed? Both the parties to the marriage file a joint application before the marriage officer along with individual affidavit attested by notary public specifying the age(boy 21yrs &girl 18yrs), place of residence, marital status(unmarried or divorcee as the case maybe), mental status(not idiot or not with unfit mind), not related to each other. Along with this you have to give proof of age (School certificate, Passport, Pan card), proof of residence (Passport, ration card, voters ID card, rent agreement), & the application of such a marriage should be witnessed by 3 independent adult persons, affix one photograph of each of the parties & all the 3 witnesses. You have made such an application/notice to the marriage officer in person along with all the 3 witnesses. On receiving such an application the marriage officer issues a month notice regarding the intended marriage & get such a notice affixed on the notice board out side his office, a copy of such notice is sent to the marriage officer under whose jurisdiction the other party lives, also a copy is to the individual parties address. After expiry of the period of notice a date is fixed on which all the persons parties to the marriage & 3 witnesses appear again before the marriage officer who declare them married & issue a certificate to this regard. Incase of any objections raised the marriage officer will settle these objections. Now what can be objections that can be raised? These can ONLY BE REGARDING THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR SUCH MARIAGE & NOTHING ELSE. What are the conditions? As I stated above i.e. Age, martial status, mental status, prohibited relationship (related to each other by blood). This is the brief procedure I have told you here, incase you want any clarification you can ask.

Answer 2

No, the girl does not need to convert into Islam.
Only if a non-Muslim man wants to marry a Muslim girl, he would have to convert into Islam.
Muslims are allowed to marry non-Muslim women, as far as they belong to Christian or Jewish religious groups.
(They believe in the "book" and the ancient prophets as well).
But, it depends where you live, because in Europe or USA all people full of age can marry whomever they like to marry, as religion is no part of the laws of the government. (Still talking about a non-religious wedding). And as far as I am informed, in India also people with different religions can get married.
But, talking about religion, in this case of your friend, the children will always be regarded as Muslims, no matter which religion the woman is.
The same happens, when a man marries a Jewish woman, as the religious heritage always is transmitted from the woman to the children - so the children of a Jewish woman will always be Jewish, no matter which religion the father does have...
Anyway, I don’t think, that religious matters are so important at all.

Answer 3

heyya dear...

Faith and religion is a very important matter for all the individuals. Therefore, commonly people marry into their respective faiths. However, the Islamic Shari‘ah has allowed Muslims to marry women of the People of the Book. This it should be noted is also a conditional allowance. The Holy Qur’an only allowed the Muslims to marry into adherents of these faiths when the supremacy of Islam was established in the Arabian Peninsula. The People of the Book were living the life of subjugation. The Holy Qur’an made subtle allusion to the fact. The related verse of the Holy Qur’an reads:

This day are [all] good things made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in honor, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso denies the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter. (5:5)

The Qur’anic words ‘now you can marry’ clearly allude to the fact that the circumstances and position of Muslims is considered in this regard. We cannot marry in any circumstances among the followers of other religious barring the People of the Book.

Answer 4

It is possible to get married, but one has to consider the later upcoming problems. In which religion kids should be brought up and and and. A factor is the tolerance capability of the man. Most Muslims are strict believers and their families would be against such a connection, family ties are most important, in the end of the day, they win.The non-muslim wife has to be aware to obey and put her own interests in the back ground. Think twice about it.
Another way would be that the woman converts to Islam. But to change religion is much more then to change a shirt.

Answer 5

His parents will never allow him to marry a non-muslim girl. She would have to study Islam and change her religion to Muslim and her family will never allow her to marry a Muslim. It is very difficult as if he marries this girl his parents will disown him. There are very strict rules in the Muslim religion. Also the Orthodox Jewish religion is strict too, and they have their rules and like to have young woman not marry out of their religion. So there are big problems. What they can do is have a non-denominational wedding ceremony themselves and then tell their parents. What can I say. That is why I don't approve of Muslim/Catholic/Orthodox/Baptist marriages. Too many problems and differences in the cultures.

Answer 6

when two person truly love each other there is no way that could stop them. Meaning its not about the religion, tradition, nationality or what so ever coz when you love you are willing to do everything just to keep that person for the rest of your life... Tell your friend if they can marry in their both tradition/religion... then do it. This will be good not only for them but for the families of both side for respect to thier beliefs. If they dont want this idea then one person should convert to the other religion. Giving up your religion is not like giving up your faith to God. I believe that we have the same God but only with different ways on how to praise HIM. What matter most is whats inside our heart....

Answer 7

The matter can be taken as a challenge. the marriage can be done. But living togather after that may become difficult. the problems may arise because of food habits, upbringing and a number of other factors. All the initial attractions will fade away in a short time. If it is an arranged marriage, you can pass the buck onto the parents, but in love marriage, the entire responsibility to live happily is yours !!! is the risk worth it.

Answer 8

LOOK RELIGION AND STUFF ARE ALL DOWN THE LINE MY FRIEND WHEN LOVE CONQUERS, AND ABOUT WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP THEM WELL IF THEY ARE GONNA GET MARRIED IN INDIA THEN LET THEM GET A REGISTERED COURT MARRIAGE,AND YOU CAN STAND WITNESS FOR THE MARRIAGE,I MEAN RELIGION,CASTE AND CREED SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE A BACK SEAT WHEN TWO PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER TO DEATH,I MEAN LOOK AT THE BRIGHTER SIDE ITS A UNION OF TWO DIFFERENT CULTURES MERGING TOGETHER SO LETS PICK ALL THE POSITIVE VIBES FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP AND LEAVE THE NEGATIVE ONES BEHIND!!WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK!!!

Answer 9

confident muslim adult adult males can marry christians. the marriage could be content in the event that they appreciate each and each others faiths. Muslims have self assurance in and appreciate the injil (bible), they suspect it replaced into authentic yet has been altered by using guy over the centuries. So the muslim boy ought to have appreciate for the christian woman. yet she ought to have appreciate for his muslim faith like no longer eating beef, enable him pray 5 circumstances an afternoon and not enjoying music or interupting him whilst he's praying, enable him be the chief of the kin by using fact in Islam the guy is the pinnacle of the kin, and celebrating his muslim vacations with him. it may artwork basically like quite a few different marriage, religious responsibilities aside.

Answer 11

With Islam it would be pretty much difficult. I wonder whether there is provision for a girl to become Muslim.

No this will not work unless both forget the religion and believe they are humans before they are Muslims.
