Wow are u serious? .. Beside as far as my knowledge is even if he is ale-kitab muslim girls are not allowed to marry outside Islam.. no?
It's up for debate. The think the Quran says believing women should marry believing men and nonbelieving women should marry nonbelieving men. It also says not to marry your daughters to people who commit shirk.
It's patriarchal society that has gone on to say that men can marry Christians and Jews, but women cannot. Either way, I feel it is always better to marry a Muslim, but I don't know that it is better to live alone and unhappy if you find a good moral person with whom you can make a happy home, who happens not to have embraced Islam (yet).
I know one Muslim Pakistani woman who is married to a Christian man. He is a really wonderful and caring person who takes good care of her and her family. One of her brothers disowned her due to this marriage. What's a bit surprising is that her other brother married a Christian woman, and though the first brother wasn't happy about that, he did not go about disowning his brother. *All because of a very narrow understanding of the Quran. *
Would you care to elaborate it for us please ?
Are you trying to say that Quran and sunnah acknowledge a marriage between a Muslim woman and a non Muslim man ?

I'm saying I don't know for sure. But I don't think it's so clear as to justify disowning your sister while your brother is doing pretty much the same thing and welcoming him.

^ And that would teach their children that Muslims are heartless and cold, that their Muslim family cares nothing for them. How will that inspire them to Islam?

Nope I don’t think its heartless or ruthless …. It more or less like getting rid of a fetid organ out of your body … if a doctor does that … should we calling him ruthless as well ?
I am nothing asking you to hate them because of the act committed But there is no harm in dealing with them as non Muslim human beings
For a Muslim … religion comes first … before anything … Well its Allah’s consent .. we all should be looking here .
You have to stand for your beliefs otherwise no point believing in them ….
Who knows may this determination , the quality of being resolute , inspire people towards Islam .
well if hes catholic..hes christian so hes still ale-kitaab..so tell her to go 4 it..who cares what her parents say?..who knows maybe the paki guy they marry her off 2 will treat her like ****!..and her parents arent going to be with her forever now r they?..
Soni, only men can marry ahle-kitaab; women can't. The guy has to convert before marriage or the marriage won't be legitimate.
A person at our masjid asked our imam the same question. The answer was that the reason that men are allowed to marry non-muslims (but ahl-e-kitaab) but woman aren't is because there's a lot of like legal, technical issues that come into play as well, and it's easier to "enforce" (for lack of a better term) for men then it is for women. It's not to like deny women something great or whatever; there's a logical reason for it. But then again, I could be HORRIBLY misquoting the imam, so don't kill me if I"m wrong.
what i know is, its not allowed in Islam for a girl to marry a non-Muslim guy even if he is ehl-e-kitab. i'll try to find the Quranic reference and will post here.
