@Applejuice

Ok he says that his faith is very important to him but he cannot FORCE anyone to get converted and accept Islam. He also provides the reason that Islam doesnt ask us to force anyone to give up on their religion. And there was a time when he says he tried but since she’s said no, he’d not insist.
About marrying a christian, he says its right. I tried explaining him that its “legal”, not right, he says Islam cannot make anything legal unless its right as well.

alot of things in Islam are legal but not the preferred or liked ‘legal’ in the eyes of Allah. Marrying into ehl-e-kitab is permissible. But let’s think of the bundle of consequences that would follow esp when their child is born.

Wouldn’t both parents be wanting their child to be of their faith. the kid would be the one to suffer a lot?

there’s a very thin line b/w right and wrong and when they both merge together - one doesnt even know where he/she is standing.

they should just think about the future generation:

1. Would the child have a Muslim or a christian name
2. would he go to the mosque or the church
3. would he fast and celebrate Eids or would he be celebrating christmas or easter
4. and the most important of all what religion would he follow eventually

apparently at this moment things would all seem to be working out well - but the clashes that would follow would be too hard to handle !
