How is marriage of one person beeing Muslim and a partner with no religion ?

Does the other one has to convert or in civil marriage ceremony it doesn't matter?How is marriage of one person beeing Muslim and a partner with no religion ?
Hi, I am a converted muslim by choice but I can tell you that it in the religious sense it is no problem for a muslim man to marry a non muslim but a muslim woman cant marry a non muslim. This is to do with what religion any children are brought up in because they usually follow the father's religion so as long as the father is a muslim it doesn't matter about the woman. So if you have an issue with any children you have being brought up as a muslim then stop right now as I think you will find that not many muslim men will be prepared to negotiate this at all. Some asian families still prefer their sons to marry muslims and can be very strict when it comes to this - but this is culture NOT religion, from a religious point of view it is fine - she does not have to convert. It actually says in the Quran that there should be no compulsion in religion so anyone that tells you otherwise is mixing up culture and religion.How is marriage of one person beeing Muslim and a partner with no religion ?
Religion isn't a factor in civil marriage ceremonies, however if the muslim wishes a religious wedding then the non-muslim would have to convert. Under muslim law a muslim is not allowed to marry a non muslim so if the non muslim does not wish to convert them the muslim would be shunned.
it depends on both people and what they are comfortable with, if the non Muslim does not want to convert then it is usually a civil ceremony or register office, it depends on whether the two people want a religious ceremony or not, but most places are happy to do a blessing of the marriage.
Ummmmmm. I wish you all the Luck my friend -- you will need it in these marriage contracts.
For a civil ceremony it doesn't matter. I am C of E and my husband is Catholic, neither church would marry us so we chose to have a civil ceremony. For a muslim I think he/she would have problems with family as they will not recognise the marriage.
Any marriage which is not a Christian marriage has to be a civil ceremony. You can have the party and all the ceremonies but it isnt legal till they have a civil ceremony done.


Its a very stupid rule.
in a civil ceremony (registration office thing) it does not matter


its only if you were to have a religious ceremony that religion becomes an issue
It depends how reformed your officiant is. If you go with a very strict, to the book,devout Muslim, it may be an issue. However, if the officiant is from a reform mosque (not sure if they exist, but Iknow they do in other religions) it might not be an issue. I'd ';shop around'; to see if you could find an Islamic officiant that doesn't have an issue with it.





Now you just have to see how it's going to affect your families... yeek. Good luck with that one=)
whether a conversion is necessary or not, realize that the muslim person will want to raise your children in their faith. if you are uncomfortable with this, then do not proceed. typically inter-faith marriages are tested once children enter the equation. when it's just the two of you, it is easy to maintain your individual beliefs because you have held them for so long. but when young, impressionable children are being raised in a way other than the way you approve, it can become a major issue.
My husband and I got married with a justice of the peace since neither of us are that religious. I would not convert to his religion anyway because I don't share those beliefs. His church believes in creationism and not evolution. But thankfully, it was never an issue.


I think it would depend on how religious the person who is muslim is. Not all muslims are that religious. Have you seen the Axis of Evil comedy tour? If you like comedy, it might be worth checking out. You can see some of it on youtube. I think all of the comedians on the tour are muslims but none of them seem to be that religious. In fact, some of them have been exposed to more than 1 religion.
