Interfaith Marriage

Interfaith marriage refers to a marriage between persons of two different faiths, or between two denominations of the same faith (also called an interdenominational marriage). Some faiths prohibit members from marrying outside of their religion and some require special permission and/or a promise concerning which faith the couple's children will be raised in. In some denominations, those who marry outsiders are stigmatized or even shunned.

Can a Muslim man marry a Christian girlfriend who is not a virgin anymore?

Answer APeople are free to do as they choose. So they can. Generally Christians believe that it is a terrible idea to marry outside of the faith. The reason is that there will then be questions about how to raise the children, where to attend church and other things of this nature.

A Muslim may be able to add something about their perspective on the issue.

Answer BYes, Muslim man can marry a Christian woman (virgin or not). However, the not virgin Christian woman should know that she committed a sin (per her religion and per Islam religion) by allowing herself to do intercourse sex without marriage and should repent and ask God forgiveness for this sin.

What are the pros and cons of Jewish interfaith marriage on the children?

It really depends on your personal circumstances and outlook. If both parents are adamant about their religions then it becomes a conflict over "who can teach their religion better". If one or both of the parents does not care about religion, it really does not make a difference for the children except from the perspective that a religion teaches a person proper conduct and being devoid of that influence may lead to improper conduct.

Answer:

Opinion: it's not a good idea. In addition to the Torah's prohibition against doing so, there are very many cases in which the spouses use the religious difference as fuel to add to the flames once they're already fighting over other matters. Maintaining a marriage is hard enough without the interfering factor of different religious backgrounds. Also, there is the question of how to raise the children. A seemingly kumbaya-type peace-loving interfaith education very often turns out to be confusing to the children, who now have no complete identity. Statistics show that mixed-marriage children are less likely to practice any religion at all, than are their single-faith counterparts (even those of minimally-religious homes). In actual practice, intermarriage amounts to assimilation, the product of which is descendants who may no longer see themselves as part of the religious heritage of either parent.

Can you celebrate both hanukkah and christmas in a household?

I certainly hope so! -I have Christian friends who are perspicacious enough to be invited to Jewish friends' homes to celebrate the "Festival of Lights". I am one. I am blessed by this "acceptance". Christianity has its roots in Judaism, whether its followers recognize that or not.

Jewish AnswerFrom the perspective of Judaism, it is not okay for Jews to celebrate both Channukah and Christmas. The main reason is that the core of the celebration of Channukah is the successful fight against forced assimilation of Jews by pagans. If a Jew were to celebrate both holidays, they would be doing the exact thing that Channukah stands against: assimilation.

If i understood this question correctly, muslims, jews, and christians can intermarry but cannot marry members of other religions probably because Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions, which are all related to the biblical times and have many of the same stories, such as that of Abraham (known as Ibrahim in Islam). Along with this, all three of these religions acknowledge the existence of Jesus Christ.

Can a marriage between a born-again Jewish believer in Christ and a Jehovah's Witness work What about raising children in this family?

The Bible tells us we (Christians) must not be unequally yoked. When we believe in Jesus Christ as the second person of the Trinity, as a born-again Christian, we must not unite with a person who does not believe this. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jesus Christ is God. Conversely, the Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in inter-marriage either. If we are already married to one who does not believe as we do, or if we repent of sinning by so marrying, God will give us the strength to endure. We are not to divorce, because "God hates divorce." However, "if the unbeliever leaves, let him go." If one is already in this situation, raising of children would be difficult. Even the Bibles of Jehovah's Witnesses are different from other Christian Bibles in several important respects. I would just suggest that one do as much Bible Study as possible, and do studies with the children. One must explain to the children that while their parents love one another and love them, they disagree on the proper translation and interpretation of God's Word. Note that while both could be wrong, only one is capable of being correct, since they are so different in key areas.

After having a baby by a Muslim man what should you do?

A:

I assume that you had a baby as a result of an affair with a Muslim man and that the relationship has terminated. There is no point in pursuing a former lover, of whatever religion, since any marriage would be without love and probably of short duration. You need to get on with your own life and make whatever decisions you wish to make for yourself and the baby. This could include allowing the father regular access to the child if he wishes. It is your decision what religion the baby is brought up in, if any, and for practical reasons this should probably be your own religion. At least in most Western countries, he would be required to provide an appropriate level of child support, by court order if necessary.
