    Why would you want to?
    In my opinion this is only asking for more grief that any marriage already has in it.

    Yes I can see it being nothing but problems, but I will assume that neither are strong in their faith.

    You should do what makes you happy, and not let some silly religion get in the way of your happiness.

    Thank you for all your answers.
    In my heart... I know that it is a big step to make.However,if one is going into it not with the aim of changing the others faith.
    Everyone is left to practice what they believe in.
    Sometimes I sit and think about this religion thingy...
    I realise that most times,our religion is influenced by our background history.If my parents are musilm,it is very obvious that I too will be muslim...
    I believe in my faith and I am not ready to change it. If we all can understand our limits and respect it,then I guess all can go smoothly. Its so sad what love does to us sometimes... it puts us in a tight corner... Love requires us to see far and beyond. I do not think it is a sin for both to get married.And if it is prohibited... hmm... the bible tell me that Jesus sat admist sinners.I am not saying that Muslims or catholics are sinners .No.
    I am saying that... we are different yet we can live together ad still bask in Gods love despite all our short comings.

    YES.
    A catholic woman can marry a muslim man and it is moral. The Qur'an has placed no restriction if a Muslim man wants to marry a Christian lady. It however has commanded the believers not to marry anyone who associates other partners or deities with God (polytheists) as He is one and alone nor should the believers marry any convicted criminal of adultery. Apart from these two restrictions, the Shari'ah (Law of God) has placed no restriction on marriage contracts of the believers.

    However, this does not mean that we should not use our sense and reason to choose the person we intend to marry. Indeed, there are many things involved that must be considered before a couple decides to get married. The foremost factor is that there should be harmony between both in terms of their financial status and religious set up. Religion is not a trivial matter to be ignored while choosing your prospective husband. Marriage means that two persons are going to live together for the rest of their lives. Do you think that there would be no conflict on religious issues? What about the children that God will bless you with? What religion would they be taught? You may think that such matters are of less importance to modern minds. But I assure you that these matters will of be concern to you both once you come out of the euphoria that people experience before marriage.

    A Christian Lady Marrying a Muslim
    Marrying non-Muslims: the legal ruling

    The media has given muslim men a negative reputation. All muslim men are not negative nor should be shunned or looked down upon. There are good and bad men of every nationality, every race, and among every religion. Many muslim men who I have known are good, peaceful, and among the kindest. Muslims, Jews, and Christians are considered as the "People of the Book" [B](ahl al-Kitab)[/B, those who were given the Scriptures. Athough I know many will have a strong distaste to my statements. But, knowing them personally and being more open-minded can be beneficial. You'll have to follow your heart, mind, and soul in order to make the best decision.


    “(Lawful unto you in marriage are chaste women who are believers and chaste women among the people of the book”. (al-Ma'idah, 5)

    No. When it comes to religion,each one respects the others stand point.

    Right now this may be true. But if your planning on having children with this person your going to be on a huge undecided area. One that could caus fights and even a break up. As adults you can make your own decisions but as a child its usually the parents that determine that path and it can last a lifetime. Choose carefully.
