I am a Christian guy from the UK working in Pakistan. I have met a Muslim girl and we have fallen in love and would like to get married. Is this possible in Pakistan?
I would say that one of you has to not really be either a good Christian or a good Muslium since the two religions do not match. Also in the culture she could be at great risk to do this.
( not saying it can't be done)
But both religions teach that the other is false and those that believe in the other is doomed to hell basicly. And in general one believes that the other has to die for the end of the world to come to pass.
So what about children how will they be raised, and going to church not as a family is not a good thing,
I would say that unless one is going to convert there wll be alot of problems in trying it.
Now if one is that religion in name only, not really going, don't really beleive then they aren't really that religion and it could work easier
How long have the two of you been dealing with one another and have you talked about how to deal with the cultural differences and child rearing where to live etc.Not a lot of information in the OP.

Before getting too excited... have u asked yourself if her muslim family will allow their muslim daugther marry a christian man!???
Because most people know how strict muslims are when it comes to marriages!!! Most of them are arranged muslim marriages!
Have u meet her parents?
I am gonna have to say it is possible but it is gonna be painful, and it is probably at a statistic high for a divorce. I agree very much with fr chuck.
Because assuming you both practice your religion fully, consider, A house divided cannot stand. THere will ultimatly wind up being bitterness and resentment and confusion with children. I am not sayig don't do it, ultimatly follow your heart and what you think is best, because after all no one knows this better than you two. so just be very openly communicating but due to the extremity of the clashing religions, I would wait on the marriage. I am not sure about the pakistan laws however though. and also what krys says who knows if the parents will even allow this. I do fear that there will be constant need to save the other from the dark side. what do your close family and freinds say? your local church? etc.
