Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Muslim/Non-Muslim marriage; any advice?

Christian/Muslim Marriages

me (christian) and my muslim boyfriend wants our relationship to be in proper terms. My 'boyfriend' and I wants to get married but curreny we are both working in different country and bonded by each company contract. How can we be able to settle this? I am actually willing to convert if religion will be a hindrance in the future. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

A.Cee.

  1. Salaams,

    Based on your post, it doesn't sound like your religious differences are the main obstacle. (By the way, Muslim men may marry Christian women; it's not obligatory for them to convert to Islam to marry. Just FYI).
    If you and your fiance are having difficulty going forward because you live in different countries, and neither of you can relocate to the other's country because of mutual job contract stipulations, then there are only a few options that I can see:

    1. You postpone the marriage until relocation for one of you is possible based on the obligations of your jobs.

    2. One of you quit your job (which would release you from contract obligations) and move to where the other lives, and marry.

    3. Both of you take the time to talk to your employers and see if there are any options of relocating while keeping the job, or modifying the contract some way.

    Keep in mind, in any of the options above there may still be contraints or requirements just to gain citizenship in another country. Make sure you explore those aspects as well as you both decide how best to go forward. If you find yourselves overwhelmed or at a dead end, a legal counselor may be able to help.
