Can Muslim marry a Christian?
Modern practice. In practice, many Arab countries allow interfaith marriages to Christian or Jewish women but not to Christian or Jewish men. In Lebanon for example there is no civil personal status law and marriages are performed according to the religion of the spouses.
Can you date in Islam before marriage?
Answer: Islam does not allow for any physical dating before an actual marriage takes place. This is to prevent any physical temptation from happening before the wedding vows are taken. The choice of a marriage partner is one of the most important decisions a person will make in his or her lifetime.
Can a Muslim and a Christian fall in love?
When we – a Muslim and a Christian – fell in love, we didn’t think much about the differences in our religions. (People falling in love usually don’t think much, full stop.) We figured what we did share – similar values, similar worldviews, and a similarly strong faith in God – was enough.
Is it permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian woman?
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian/Jewish woman strictly under these two conditions: She is a true Christian/Jew – not by name and/or ancestral background. She did not renegade from Islam and become a Christian/Jew.
What are the biggest fears of Muslim-Christian marriages?
Some fears: baptism of their children (Muslim men), moving to a foreign country indefinitely (Christian women); giving up the faith (Muslim women), being rejected by the husband’s family (Christian women).
What is the difference between Islam and Christianity on religiously mixed marriages?
The difference between Islam and Christianity on religiously mixed marriages is simple. Islam allows Muslim men to marry Christian women, period. It does not allow a Christian man to marry a Muslim woman. So Islam’s alleged “openness” and tolerance” and “non-discrimination” is a one-way street.
