I don't think its possible to marry anyone who is not a Muslim.Muslims male or female are forbidden to marry people from other faiths except Judaism,Christianity and Zoroastrianism because they are monotheists.I think conversions solely for marriage should be banned specifically.
002.221
YUSUFALI: Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.
I think this verse finalizes what I've been trying to say. Religiously its not permissible by anyone to marry a non-Muslim.
Its a difficult topic i think not to Envolve in any faith being a muslim i have to belive that every thing is define 1400 years back by Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa (PBUH) .
the marriage doesn't occur;it's nulled and the couple maybe punished for fornication since the marriage is not recognized.for the males too I guess.So what are the consequences of such a marriage in an purely islamic society?
so what is the punishment for fornication, and if they have a child what will be the child's status be?the marriage doesn't occur;it's nulled and the couple maybe punished for fornication since the marriage is not recognized.for the males too I guess.
Who talked about muslim males lacking or anything like that, I asked if a muslim man/woman likes a non-muslim and both want to marry, what will be the consequences. and where did I talk about a particular sex? Get over your complexity dude.do you think Muslim males lack a lot of qualities which is why males from other religion are being chosen day by day by Muslim women?
So what are the consequences of such a marriage in an purely islamic society?
It won't be legally binding in Shariah system. They should seek marriage as non-Muslims.So what are the consequences of such a marriage in an purely islamic society?
You need to be clear about the consequences in terms of two perspectives.
1. Religious or Islamic Point of view.
2. Soical point of view or cultural point of view.
1. Now in a purely islamic society as the marriage to a nonbeliever is already not recomended so in that case if someone does so there is NO order for Hard Punishment for such an individual in Quran.
But there are orders that he/she should leave the non-believer partner or if he/she converts to Islam (that too is condtionalized by Islam if he or she does so according to own will and even than not just for marrying but after understanding Islam if they believe in it by heart) than its ok.
But IF someone even dosnt convert and the Muslim partner still wants to be with her or him than it means ( the faith of that Muslim in itself is not strong in that case there is not much which Islam can use to punish or pressurize him or her.)
2.Now according to Soical point of view or cultural point of view well the sentiments rather than understanding run high in that case and social bycott and isolation are the biggest consequences of such marriage not only in Islamic socity but all the societies.
And bhangra you can do understand this kinda consequences is are also very high in Hindu society too.
Even despite 21st century there are these consequences in India regarding evern Inter-cast marriages in India where there is Cast difference though the religion is one that hinduism but still a low cast hindu's marriage to a high cast hindu creats immense problems.
So the social consequencies are in every socity.
So basically one cannot marry a non-muslim by being a muslim at the same time. But arent there some sort of punishments in shariah for a person who has shifted from being a muslim to a non-muslim.It won't be legally binding in Shariah system. They should seek marriage as non-Muslims.
In Pakistan, frankly there is such a legal conundrum that I do not know, you have shariah courts as well as normal courts, I wouldnt bring Pakistan in this case, it would just create more confusion.In a country like Pakistan it may be allowed but of course religiously speaking they have done that which was forbidden to them. I would say they would be looked upon as sinners within the society. I won't say that the man or the woman would lose their status as Muslims as Muslims drink, smoke and even eat pork and are yet considered Muslims.
If one does not have faith in Islam than it dosnt matter person of which religin he or she marries as the foundation of being Muslim is based on faith in Islam and its rules and regulation as prescribed in Quran. So if they do not have any faith and do not follow the teachings than mere reciting Kalima (the shahdat) is not enough.The last para is of the obvious interest. So marrying another religions person is for those who do not have faith in islam..
i had cleared it already that if a person believes in Islam fully than He/She wont act against its core teachings and rules put in the Holy Quran so in case if he acts otherwise well he is already having no faith but ok for a minute lets put this notion aside.So does the muslim person continues his/her normal life and the non-muslim partner continues her/his non-muslim character, without any legal problem..
my dear now you come to the point if people open their hearts and minds towards Islam they will understand that is the main point why Islam stresses upon avoiding Interfaith marriges.But my important question is, is the marriage sanctioned and what is the status/options of religion for the child..
i have already cleared there are no Punhishments in Islam for such a marriage however there are consequences based on social norms which are in every society.yes, there are social consequences everywhere, which was not I was referring to. I was more interested in the legal standings and the consequences/punishments there of, i.e. essentially the first part. I also understand that most of you are not ulemas and as such I need to have an amount of caution.
I was just giving illegal advice(more like a possibility) on fooling the law (of course I discourage it). Lawfully you would be married but in the eyes of God you are not. Hence just sinning. You are not disbanded from Islam in the eyes of God, IMO, for fornicating. You might however goto hell.So basically one cannot marry a non-muslim by being a muslim at the same time. But arent there some sort of punishments in shariah for a person who has shifted from being a muslim to a non-muslim.
True. It is the same with every other Muslim nation. They all have Shariah courts. But they all have lesser jurisdictions.In Pakistan, frankly there is such a legal conundrum that I do not know, you have shariah courts as well as normal courts, I wouldnt bring Pakistan in this case, it would just create more confusion.
