It's comes down to the fact that in most relationship men are dominant therefore if a couple were to have children they were likely to get influenced by their father.... and if the father is a non- muslim or atheist then the child is likely to follow him... therefore Muslim women are expected to marry Muslim men.

Most husbands seem pussy-whipped these days.


It would be terrible for Muslim men if Muslim women were allowed to marry non-Muslims. It's not like Asian and Arab men can compete with their European counterparts., but Asian and Arab women are frequently attractive and there will always be demand for them from European men.

If that's the reason, then surely there should be an exemption for dominant females, right?

In Islam, the word of Allah is not questionable or negotiated with. We do what is commanded of us end of.
It seems like common sense to me though- the man/father is traditionally the head of the family. Women in Islam are taught to obey and respect their husbands in all matters that are good. If you were to marry a non-muslim it would cause unnecessary conflict particularly where children are concerned i.e. the way to raise them. In Islam we have an obligation to raise our children as good practicing Muslims which could be endangered if the father is not a good influence.
Also, in Islam we are encouraged to find a spouse who is good for your deen and will help you better yourself Islamically too. Such a husband/wife will be your partner both in this world and the hereafter and this is what any Muslim who truly loves someone wants. How can he love you if he doesnt love the one who created you? Muslims are supposed to 'love' for the sake of Allah and they are supposed to put the word of Allah and love him more than anything in this temprorary world.
And you can bag a really hot spanish latino whatever guy...so long as he's a Muslim...theyr not mutually exclusive
Hope Ive explained it a bit

Not really because Men will always be dominant no matter how strong a girl is therefore there is no exemption unless the boy decides to change his religion

TROLL!

We're all free human beings, except on the other hand if you are Muslim you are just a slave of Allah. So in that respect, there's your problem.

You quoted me to tell me that.

Thanks. I didn't realise there were more than three religions.

Fact is this thread is on Islam. An Abrahamic religion.

That's not my point. You said 'most religions'. That's completely illogical and unfair to non-Abrahamic religions that don't have such barbaric outlooks on life; it undermines them.

That doesn't matter, you were making a novel out of a sentence. The majority of the worlds population are a part of an Abrahamic faith. There is roughly 1000 denominations of Christianity alone, each consider themselves a separate religion to the next. So saying the majority of religions have a disparaty between males and females is not far from the truth.

As a non-Abrahamic example, the role of women in Hinduism is often disputed. The Manusmṛti is one of the oldest texts in Hinduism, and advocates inequality between men and women. According to that text, women must treat their husbands like Gods.

I don't think its just Muslims. I'm Christian and I think it would be easier to marry a Christian, for a number of reasons, mainly when it comes to kids and bringing them up. But also, just to have an easier life with someone who shares your beliefs.

[callum9999]

I don't know why people are debating what they are and aren't allowed to do. The only way Islam itself could stop a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim is if the woman recognises the "right" of Islam to do so. If they don't, then there is nothing stopping them (other than if relatives try and force them not to, but that then becomes a legal matter and not a religious one).

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

[SFeet]

I don't know what it is but I think it's because is a Muslim women marries a non Muslim man then they are only together for the duration of their life where as if it is muslim-muslim then they are together for eternity.

That is a stupid thing to say, at my school the guy who seemed to be going through the most girls in the year was Asian.

Certainly looked like he was out competing his European Counterparts.

Muslim women are allowed to marry non-muslim men, on the basis that they expect to raise their children as muslims too.

What are you smoking?

Actually, everyone in this topic got this part wrong;

Muslim men can marry a CHASTE Christian or Jew. That means, you need to find, a Christian or Jewish woman, who hasn't committed fornication.

All the best on one very very long search.

Good to see your bigotry is as pervasive as ever.

Funny how on another thread here on Islam, the line about a mother's greater worth and influence was being constantly repeated. Now all of a sudden the father has more power to influence. The truth is that every situation differs.

Mother is important and according to Islam a mother is very special and you should not upset her but a father can influence children too for e.g if a father is Muslim then he will take his child to the mosque and tell him all about Islam however if the father isn't then a child might follow his dad's footsteps and choose to be a non Muslim...

But nowadays it's about what people think is right in the eye of god :-)

I asked my dad that question and he said it is because the muslims woman might convert to the religion of her husband, and to -avoid that they arent allowed to marry non-muslim men. and the reason muslim men are allowed to marry non-muslim woman is because they might be able to convert them into Islam. (But NOT BY FORCE).
well thats what my dad told me. i dont know if that is the reason.
