Answer A

She can, at least in Western nations or in India, but the marriage would probably not be recognized by her Muslim compatriots.

Answer B

No, she can't per Islam religion teachings. Per Islam religion, marriage is not just a relationship between two partners to share life and pleasure. It is a sacred tie that should meet religion rules and be blessed by God; the Creator. Accordingly, per Islamic rules, a Muslim woman could not marry a non Muslim man (Chruistian or not Christian). Refer to question below for more information.

Answer C

Under law, a Muslim woman can marry a Christian man in any Western country or in India, but not in Muslim-majority countries. However, both parties should consider the feelings of their family and close friends before making this decision.

According to the Islamic faith, a Muslim woman can not marry a Christian man, but according to the Christian faith, this is permitted although not necessarily encouraged.. This means that in addition to the legal position, the couple must take into account their religious beliefs and the strength of their religious ties. Their options are to ignore the religious rules, or for either the wife to convert to Christianity or the husband to convert to Islam.

Yes. Occasionally both Muslims and Christians feel pressure to convert to the other's faith in order to avoid fallouts and ostracism, but it is perfectly reasonable to maintain your different faiths, as long as each partner to the marriage understands the needs of the other. In Britain, the Christian Muslim Forum recommends there be no forced conversion by either partner (http://www.christianmuslimforum....)

You also need to choose the form of your wedding. In most Western countries, it would be easier to have a civil wedding than a religious one. If the couple wish to have a Christian wedding they should check with the groom’s church whether there would be any impediment, otherwise they may have to contact other church leaders willing to perform an interfaith marriage. There is at least one imam in the United Kingdom who would perform a wedding ceremony where the husband is Christian and, I believe, another in South Africa, but otherwise they are very rare.


You should also remember that you are not alone, in spite of many Muslim men saying that Muslim girls never marry non-Muslims. The United Kingdom 2001 census identified:

  • 17,163 Christian women married to Muslim men
  • 4,233 Christian men married to Muslim women
