Interfaith Marriage
Hi, I’ve been married to my husband who’s muslim for nearly three years now. At the time we got married in a registry office, with two male muslim witnesses and one female christian witness. As far as my husband knew, interfaith marriages are allowed.
Later while browsing the internet he confirmed that on some islamic sites it states that a muslim man can marry a christian girl in a registry office, but some other sites clearly denies it. So now we are confused has we don’t want to do anthing that goes against Islam.
We’ve been looking through your website and found some of the answers, but we’re still not sure yet about the marriage validity in Islam. I didnt have my father or a guardian at the marriage, the reason being my parents dont agree with me being with a muslim man. But my other family members who are happy with my decision weren’t present at the marriage.
Because of our uncertainty at the validity of our marriage its putting a strain on our relationship. My husband is confused about whether we are allowed to sleep in the same bed and have a sexual relationship. He is practising his religion and also helping me study Islam because I want to convert. So given the circumstances is our marriage valid under the light of QURAN and SUNNAH?
