Re: Muslim women marrying non-muslim Men
even more so when you've married someone who's not. doing that doesn't nullify your faith or your belief or diminish it, and believing that it does is a very close-minded view, is it not? perhaps marrying someone from another culture is one way of showing them the path to Islam? in the end, its an extremely personal decision that each person must make for themselves.
It's not personal at all...often, be it man or women, it means choosing a prospective love interest over faith and community...and family.
The idea that inter-faith marriage, be it man or women, doesn't weaken faith is ludicrous. Either one is a pantheist, and (for example) simultaneously thinks Christ was indeed a Prophet and a son of God or one thinks their spouse's faith is bunk. Respect is not the same as practicing. I respect the fact that other people have beliefs, and I stay distant from them...and I respect people's emoting around faith issues. But that is in no way shape or form as saying that i respect their faith as the same as Islam...
Marrying outside of the faith is nothing less than putting a love for a man or women above the love of Islam.
