Would there be any mosque or maulvi that would be willing to process an interfaith marriage in GTA? The girl is shia muslim and the guy is not muslim, christian or jewish.
It can be a shia mosque/maulvi or any other sect of Islam.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
They're best of getting a civil marriage. Rather hypocritical from the girls perspective. She wants to marry a non-Muslim in an Islamic ceremony? Laughable.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
CEO.. I don't want to turn this thread into a religious debate. Please don't. This is just a simple request for information.
So no mosque or maulvi or registered islamic authority will conduct this marriage? from any sect of islam?

Why don't you contact the Islamic authority in Toronto? All the mosque will be under their charge? You can ask them.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
^ okay.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
If they cant find any such masjid, they can have a simple nikah done in the presence of 2 aaqil/baaligh muslim males. that would do.

There would not be a Nikah because it has invalidates the pre-requisite of the male being a Muslim. Again from my limited knowledge the Quran forbids Muslim females from marrying non-Muslim males (No racial constraints). Therefore if something is explicitly forbidden in the Quran, there is no way it would be valid.
A Civil Marriage would be the only route.
EDIT: I'm not trying to start any religious debates. Simply stating that what the girl wants does not exist.

Thanks. What is aaqil/baaligh?
Who would conduct the ceremony? Are you saying just a civil ceremony but infront of 2 muslim males?

O wait, the OP said that girls is muslim but guy is not. I missed that part. I thought we are talking about shia/sunni marriage :D
Yes you are right.

It really does not matter to the couple if a lot of muslims think their marriage is not valid since the guy was not muslim. It just has to be a muslim wedding at some level, under whatever sect and conducted by any maulvi. I realize this sounds a bit retarded.. it only has to happen for the girl's mental satisfaction.. regardless of how illogical it is.

No sharabee, I got confused. Read GIDSA's reply
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
I hope I don't piss you guys off with this question because I seriously do appreciate your input.. but how hard would it be for the guy to fake that he's muslim infront of an immigrant maulvi at some small masjid?
what about a fake conversion where the maulvi thinks he's done the conversion but the guy really doesn't change his name or religion on any legal documents?

No, that's fair enough bru. My point was that what she desires simply does not exist. So its not just a matter of people agreeing or disagreeing. It just doesn't exist.

Yeah, that's just messed up to be honest. But hey, that dude's call. I got nothing to say to that one.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
^ I agree it's retarded. Neither of the couple is religious - so just give it up and do a civil marriage.
They are just thinking of any solution (regardless of how dumb or illogical it is) that can give the girl's family any little bit of satisfaction.
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
I also agree with GIDSA. Without turning this into a religious thread, when the foundation of what the girl is doing is not Islamic to begin with then why go through such confusion to give this whole thing a Islamic facade?
Re: Interfaith marriage in Toronto
TLK.. I agree man it's illogical and probably unislamic in essence. But you know how women are. Illogical things can give them a little mental satisfaction. That's all the guy is after. If they can find any befkoof maulvi who agrees to do this... it will do the trick.

So lets not get into ethics of that then.
yes the trick might work. Update us later on how it went.

Absolutely.. this isn't about ethics at all. The guy fully understands that. It's just to get a tick mark in the girl's head so they can move on with their fully atheist lifestyle.
This isn't anything they are attempting in the short term. Maybe in 1-1.5 years.
Thanks both of you for your inputs.
