What's your Opinion : Question by a Non-Muslim man about his recently converted wife?

That is incorrect in my opinion. Because the husband is not Muslim and therefore sharia does not apply to him even on a moral basis. And since the law of the land is different, even on a legal basis that is not true.

So both from a legal and religious point of view, the marriage is still valid.

Even if the husband is not Muslim, according to Islam, she cannot be married to any man that's not Muslim. Even if you argue that it doesn't apply to him, that's the ruling on her. She can't be his wife if he's not Muslim. So according to Islam their marriage isn't even recognized. The law of the land has no relevance here whatsoever. Even if according the law of the land, a Muslim were to marry a Hindu, their marriage would not be recognized by Islamic law. From the Islamic law point of view, their relationship would be equivalent to zina. Same as the case here.

In Islam, a man cannot propose to a married woman. However, if a Muslim man were to propose to the woman in question here, from an Islamic point of view that would be perfectly fine. If she were then to accept his proposal and marry him, that marriage would be recognized by Islamic law and not the one she was in before accepting Islam, even if it hasn't been legally ended.

^ I asked that question some time ago (about a converted woman staying married to her non-converted husband). While many people said what you have been saying, nobody was able to show any proof that it is not simply there construct and interpretation.

On the other hand, there are concrete and specific laws that preserve the marriage.

I frequent a family oriented forum and yesterday in the Muslim family section, following question was posted:

Marriage is in trouble

"Forgive me for posting here, but I am looking for advice, help or understanding in an attempt to save my marriage. disclaimer: I am an athiest, but not what I call a nazi-athiest. I became an atheist in my teens, and for me its just right. Its not right for others, and I have no problem with any other religion. To me religion or lack thereof, is a personal choice, and I am not foolish enough to think what is right for me, is right for everyone. I've been married close to a year, my wife who was formerly a pagan (wiccan/witch etc) has chosen to convert to Islam. The conversion does not both me in the least, if she has decided that Islam is the choice for her, then great. My problem is that she now wants to wear the head scarf, or hijab i think it is called, because she claims islam requires it. This is a problem for me. I love my wife, I think she is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. If I could have created a life-long soul mate, it would be her. I love her personality, her intelligence, her beauty, she really is everything I could ever want. However; I don't want her to wear the hijab. Both of us are born and raised in america, and I suppose that factors in, to the fact that I want at least an american looking wife. She doesn't have to wear short skirts, or short shorts, but I want her to still be physically attractive to me. Please don't be offended when I say, that wearing the hijab, will make her physically unattractive to me. I didn't grow up around people wearing hijabs, so for me it takes away from her beauty. I can understand her need to wear a hijab while praying or going to the mosque, and I support her to that endeaver, but in daily life, I don't see why she needs to wear one. Now, lost in all of this, is that our marriage could end over "just a headscarf". To her she is required to wear it because of her faith. To me, it will make her unattractive, and I know it will slowly but surely tear me away from her. I guess I'm just looking for advice, knowledge, chew me out if you want to, but I'm trying to gain an understanding. I don't want to lose the woman i committed my life to over this*"*

Looking forward to hear your comments

First of all i doubt a muslim wife in a non muslim house is allowed
2nd ly ur question.... If she is ur wife then she doesnt need to have squarf on in front of u... that basically solves the problem but i think u have a feeling that she should look attractive to others too .... ???/ why is that necessary ?

@indopak

not all Muslim women wear hijab right? It is not something that she has to wear in order for her to be a good follower of her religion, she just has to dress modestly and not wear revealing clothes. i'm not Muslim but that's how I perceived it to be.

teacher asks her students to do homework
but
not all of them turn up with their home work done

that doesnt mean teacher or what she asked for was wrong
or their is no point of doing home work if few are not doing it

it is a personal choice,
everyone ll go to his own grave
and will be accountable for his own deeds
