Can Catholic marry an Orthodox in the Catholic Church?
Yes, it is his/her free choice to select the faith that me/she is convinced in. It is one of human rights to believe in the faith that he/she is convinced in..Catholic AnswerTechnically, the Orthodox religion is in schism with the Catholic Church, so, although this would not be apostasy (which is giving up the Christian faith altogether), it will still be giving up the fullness of the Christian faith in union with the Pope. However, there is no need to do this, when the Orthodox left the Church, each Rite broke in two, thus there is a Uniate Rite for each Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Uniate Church is still in communion with Rome, and a person may obtain permission to change their Rite or they may just attend Mass at another Rite.

How can a Muslim man marry a Christian orthodox girl?
The method is dependent on how the Muslim man and Orthodox Christian woman want to proceed.1) Civil Marriage: In many countries, especially in the West, marriage is something that the state certifies. As a result, the fiancés can go to a proper public minister and get married that way. There is no need for any religious official to preside at the marriage. There are also different countries which will allow "justices of the peace" like ship captains to perform civil marriages.2) Islamic Wedding: Islam permits Muslim men to marry Christian women (but not the reverse). As a result, the Muslim man and the Orthodox Christian woman can be married in a mosque by an Imam as required in Islam. Of course, the couple will have to promise the Imam that the children will be raised as Muslims.3) Orthodox Prohibition: Orthodox Christianity bans all marriages with non-Trinitarian Christians and will not allow an intermarriage with a Muslim to be performed by an Orthodox Priest and/or in an Orthodox Church.
