OK This question is truely for me..I have been through this. First: the dilemma of age and religion are two different things. Age is just a number, decied if you can live with yours. Where religion is concerned, I am a Muslim who married a Catholic. We both kept our religions. From the get go, we decieded on the perspective kids's faith, which was to be Catholic. I didn't care about forcing Islam on anyone, so the decision was easy. We kept religion totally our of our religion so far. She goes to church or not, not my problem. I go to mosque or not, not her problem. We celeberate all religious holidays and don't take carp from any reltaive and friends when it comes to our differences of religion. They don't like it, screw them !! There you go..Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me. I will luv to chat with you.  Jimmy

yes, its possible to marry her..but at first you need to know werther if she really loves you deep down inside and be ready to convert to Islam to be married to you..?\n\ndo not force her to convert..it must be from her heart..but if she..reluctant to give away her christianity and that is not a good news to you..you might probally can wait for he until she finally says that she really wants you to be her life partneror maybe you have to forget about her..\n\ni think thats the only good way to do.. you're a muslim man..and as a muslim..you should know what is the best...\n\ngood luck my friend

I can't speak from the Muslim religous aspect but can tell you I have a female Christian friend married to a Muslim.  Their relationship & marriage was fantastic at first but once their daughter was born things changed.  His religion took presidence.  He sent his daughter overseas to be raised by his family & their beliefs and he refuses to allow my friend to go to church anymore.  Not to say, this is what would happen if you were to marry this man.\n\nNext, I am sure you have prayed on this long and hard.  If you are finding more discomfort, worry, fear or confusion in marrying this person than the Holy Spirit is probably warning you not to.  God is a God of order.  He has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, of power and of a sound mind.\n\nI would recommend getting into the concordance of your Bible and look up marriage and divorce to be sure you line up all of your questions, feelings & decisions to what the word says.  Read all the scripture from the Old & New Testament.  Write the ones down that jump off the page and meditate on them.  Fast if you feel you are not finding the direction you should take.\n\nYou can use an online website http://www.crosswalk.com to do some of your research if a Bible isn't handy.\n\nRemember one thing, no one can tell you the path you should choose and they don't know how God is leading you.  This is something only you can figure out.  Close your mind off to all worldly views and seek after God for His decision in your life.\n\nI will say from everything I've read on the subject, as a Christian, you would not be in sin.  But I think you would be opening doors to a very difficult life in comparison to waiting on God to bring you a Christian man.\n\nDivorce is not an option - it never is.  So marrying this person no matter what happens until death do you part will be a vow you make with God.  Be sure you are truly ready to make this kind of committment before going any further. \n\nKeep in mind, someone who believes in a god other than the one we know is not led by a Holy & loving God.  Therefore, you end up joining together as one with someone who is being led by something else.  Ultimately, their decisions and mind are not being formed by the living word, the Holy Spirit and our heavenly Father.  If he doesn't have a relationship with Jesus Christ than you are not going down the same path.\n\nI realize you must love this man very much or the question you pose wouldn't be so heart wrenching.  I pray you find your way and the life ahead is filled with much love, peace & joy.\n\nI am happy to chat more if you want to write.

If I married a muslim who wants to marry another woman I would have to ask him first why he wants to marry another woman.There must be a reason.If his answer was something like 'cause I'm sick of you *which would be a sin anyway* I'll just divorce him, yeah muslim women can divorce men..\n\nIt's like knowing your husband is cheating on you, would you leave him? even if you love him very much? \n\nIf I loved him very much I might learn how to tolerate it.But he has to come up with a good reason why he wants to marry another woman.For instance, if I'm sick and can't be a wife or anything like that, I might agree.

A religious Jewish man can't marry a non-Jewish woman because in their faith, thereligion of the children is the religion of the mother.  If you want to marry this guy, you need to convert to his faith.  My suggestion is to not do it because women are not treated equally in some Jewish sects.

legally no....any muslim women just allow to marry with muslim men if she dont follow it they have this let to kill her (thats what the religion says)...but in my opinion why people have to obey the religion what they made by their hands and mind this too much people can do what ever they want to do ....

Yes, you can. You are married in the eyes of God and not living in sin. \n\nAsk a priest if you need more assurance.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Hello Levente...\n\nFor a practising Muslim, any kind of western style dating is not allowed... Holding hands, hugging, kissing, oral sex, even being in the same room alone together are banned!\n\nLet me explain...\n\nOutside marriage any kind of fornication is a sin, and by fornication a mean anything even a lustful look. There is a Hadith that says that it worse for a man to have an axe through his head than even accidentally touch who is not his mahram (wife or blood relative) women.\nFor women (like me) when I'm outside or with non mahram, I must wear hijab (cover myself fully) and I'm not allowed to be alone with a man. etc etc.\n\nWhen I do decide to get married it is not Islamic to have a long engagement etc. And I won't be alone with my fiance until after marriage. Typically family and friends help find prospective partners, and then arrange a meeting where maybe they leave us 2 in a room, and they wait outside with the door open! And then if you are still not sure it is OK to ask questions by phone etc, before you get married.\n\nAs you see it is very different from the western version of romance!! \n\n\nOf course not all Muslim women follow the Koran as strictly as this and we do live in the modern world..but this is the ideal!\n\nAnd I forgot... Its the same for men too of course they are not allowed relationships outside marriage too

Glad to answer you, \nThere's some points to make clear, \n1. Muslim Man can marry only Christian or Jewish or Muslim Woman but cannot marry from any other religion , or atheist. \n2. Muslim Woman cannot marry any non Muslim man , \nsome people say this is not equality , but in fact this has many reasons : \nIslam gave women many rights which make the husband admitted to it , and the husband must respect his wife very much and also Islam honored the woman by many ways , and if a Muslim woman married non Muslim he wont have to treat her in the good way which Islam orders him to,\nAlso, The Children of any woman inherit the father's religion , so to make sure that the children are going to have the right religion , which is Islam for Muslims, then the Muslim woman should marry only a Muslim man. \n\n To know more about Women rights in Islam: \nhttp://www.answering-christianity.com/womensrights.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hejab\nhttp://www.themodernreligion.com/women/w_roles_ideals.htm\nhttp://www.uga.edu/islam/Islamwomen.html\n\n Hope i have helped u.

Well first of all I am a muslim, and we are allowed to marry christians provided they are good christians, ya know what I mean. And yeah its kinda hard when we start thinking how it will workout but from the religions point of view its totally legal. As far as the girl and the boy are fine, both the parties cud prolly try to adjust themselves making sure their kids are happy. The children would be somefin to think about, that will worry both the parties. Either the dads religion or the moms religion. So we'll have to sort that out before they are even born. \nLast but not the least, one of you have to switch so the children could not suffer any religion problems later on. Their heads would be alot straighter not at all confused ya know wat i mean...\nI just told you wat i knew, my info maybe a little, so I'd suggest that you may go to a religious scholar to help you on this.

If he is really in love with her.  It doesn't matter what is his religion. If he wants to marry her, he must first convert to Islam, or he can NOT marry her.  It is as simple as that.\n\nAll it takes to become a Muslim is to profess the belief in Allah and his prophet is Muhammad.\n\nMuslims believe in God, and they call him Allah, that is what they believe is his name.  They believe Allah has 99 names.

I never understood why 2 men (or 2 women) who love eachother and are not hurting others should be punished by death BUT Muslims can highly exalt a man (even above Jesus) who married a 9 year old girl. Don't you think a grown man HURTS a 9 year old girl? That would be the one thing that would prevent me from ever being Muslim if there was ever a chance for it in the first place.

If his parents found out no it should not be a problem. Certainly not as far as Islam is concerned.\nA Muslim man may marry a Christian woman.\n\nYou will only have a problem if his parents don't personally agree with it. But as long as you are happy, respect each others religions then his parents should be happy.\n\nI am a Christian woman married to a Muslim man for 3 years now (we have been together for 5years). His family are wonderfull, they never had a problem.\n\nThe only thing that may be of concern to his parents (which I believe someone else mentioned in their answer) is the whole "dating" process. But this is something you should discuss with your boyfriend, he will know better than anyone how his parents will feel. Other than that, this is only of concern to your boyfriend.\n\nBut anyway, if your question was only out of concern of the Christian and Muslim situation then no, it is no problem.\nI hope this all makes sense?\nJanie x

in our religion, the children are supposed to follow the fathers religion, because he is head of the house. so if a muslim woman were to marry a christian man, there is always a chance the children will turn out christian, and if that happens she could be in danger. also there are ALOTTTT of arab christians in palestine and lebanon, and most of them dont care about marrying outside of the race. \n\nbut try reading the quran in english, its a beautiful book and islam is a peaceful religion, dont follow views of the taliban, because if you ask a real muslim, they are ALL going to hell for screwing up the religion.\n\nand thank you for calling us beautiful!!!!\n\ni hope i helped!

A muslim can go as far as they want if that relationship is marriage :-))\n\nBut seriously outside marriage any kind of fornacation is a sin, and by fornication a mean anything even a lustful look. There is a Hadith that says that it worse for a man to have an axe through his head than even accidently touch who is not his mahram (wife or blood reletive) women.\nFor women (like me) when I'm outside or with non mahram, I must wear hijab (cover myself fully) and I'm not allowed to be alone with a man. etc etc.\n\nWhen I do decide to get married it is not islamic to have a long engagement etc. And I won't be alone with my finace untill after marriage.  Tipically family and friends help find prospective partners, and then arrange a meeting where maybe they leave us 2 in a room, and they wait outside with the door open! And then if you are still not sure it is ok to ask questions by phone etc, before you get married.\n\nBut as you see it is very different from the western version of romance!!

Why in this world would you two ever marry?  You two will self destruct in a very short time if you marry.  A christian should never marry a non christian.  It just makes the whole marriage very difficult, if not impossible.  You should tell him everything that you think BEFORE you ever marry.  He can not OK or deny you to go to hell, you will go there no matter what he believes, but for your own belief.  I think you are just looking for problems dating this person.
