Marriage to People of the Book
Salaam.
I understand that Muslim men can marry women of the "People of the Book", but the same does not apply to muslim women.Does it mean that there is no obligation for the People of the Book (women)to revert to ISlam?For example, can a Muslim man marry a christian woman without her having to revert to Islam?If so, then how do they live together ?Does she contine to lead her christian life ? |

Yes You are Right that Muslim Men can Marry a Christian or Jewish Women & they will live together More or less in the same way a Muslim Couple live. But this case Surely Effect some parts of Live Espescially in the upbringing of Kids. That's Why Islam Allowed this Marriage when it was on the Dominant Side. So these days a Muslim man Should give this matter a Serious thought as he's the Responsible person of his family & answerable to God. & I hope that by thinking this way, Majority of Muslim Men will Avoid indulging in Such a Case. |

Just wanted to clarify one more thing, why muslim women are not allowed to marry "people of the book"?
I was watching the movie "Khuda ke Liye" ( In the name of GOD) which has created many debated in Pakistan. I found many things are in accordance of Islam, but this is the one confusing point for me. It was said that it is not NOT LIKED in Islam that muslim women marry someone non muslim but we cannot say that if a women marries some non muslim men, she is out of Islam.
I just wanted to clarify what kind of restriction is there in Islam and whats the basis of this restriction.
As it is normally said that muslim women are not allowed to marry non muslim men, whats the basis for this argument.
I once heard Dr. Shakeel Auj (I hope I am able to spell correctly) in a TV program, and he was saying that Quran is silent on this issue. If that is the case, then whats the basis of this belief and why muslims do not allow women to marry non muslim men.
I hope I am able to clarify.
Regards
