Re: What's your Opinion : Question by a Non-Muslim man about his recently converted w
^ but that's really not true. No court of law deems religious conversion as an automatic annulment of marriage.
Take some reality into account before repeating the same "marriage is kaput".
Reality is:
Neither the wife nor the husband have sought divorce
There is no valid law that cancels the marriage unless such divorce is granted
People's interpretations here seem to be driven by anxiety to support such conversiion and in the process lot of misinformation bordering on malice (ie no regard to the people involved) is being doled out.
Does islamic law apply to the couple? No because the husband is not a muslim and doesn't say he wants to become one.
Does islamic law apply individually to the man and wife? No to the man (because he is not muslim) and yes to the wife. (Because she became muslim)
Does the marriage exist? Yes. All nations law recognize that. And there is no specific islamic law that cancels the marriage.
So why are you making up stuff here, ruining the couple's marriage instead of helping them?
Here we have another reply driven from misinformed assumptions. Did you know muslims in non-muslim countries do not get married unless they have their religious marriage ceremony first. The legal marriage is for lgeal purposes which the law of the country would recognize. So they are subject to marriage contract as far as the law of the land is concerned but Islamically they are finished. So for instance, me in USA, I have two marriage contracts, one necessary for the US law and one necessary for the Islamic law. So yes you are correct from the domestic law perspective they are husband and wife but in real life from a relationship perspective they are not husband and wife anymore. There marriage at this point is nothing more than a paper marriage. Ofcourse they need to still go through all the legalities in order to split up from the domestic law perspective.
Now if you have an issue with this, keep it to yourself.
