Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??who told you that??(Original post by 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. -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??This pisses me off because I had a
conversationargument about this on Facebook where a person should be able to love whoever they want.
Ended up being ganged up on by her idiotic friends and eventually resulted in my unfriending her... Morons thought it wasn't possible to marry a person of a different faith be it where Muslims are involved or not e.g. Christian/Hindu

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??Absolutely incorrect.(Original post by AminurRahman)
Muslim women are allowed to marry non-muslim men, on the basis that they expect to raise their children as muslims too. -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??You can't just count denominations as well just to make a big number. This is about major religions, and the difference between certain religions is that that particular Hindu misogynist scripture you've picked out has no bearing on how women are treated today in real-life Hindu societies, whereas some backward-thinking Muslims still feel the need to behave like 15th century barbarians in a 21st century world.(Original post by Alpharius)
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. -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??You've not seen female bodybuilders have you? Compared to an average guy, the guy will most likely piss himself upon meeting(Original post by Bee3011)
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

That's a good example to prove me wrong but I was just stating what I know :-)(Original post by Dmon1Unlimited)

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??hmmmm(Original post by Dhaal_Chawal)
First of all, the men are only allowed to marry Christians and Jews, not all non-Muslims.
The women are only allowed to marry Muslim men because whether you like it or not, children will get more influenced by their fathers religion than their mothers. Therefore they should marry Muslim men so their children are raised as Muslims.
so the men are allowed to f...k whoever they want but the women can only choose someone from their own religion...... very clever Muhammad...... -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??Though, aving a couple of different faiths doesnt mean the kid will be raised without one. They could want to raise their child with a religion. Perhaps both parents involve their own faith in the raising and let the kids decide, or better yet teach the kid about all religions (+atheism)(Original post by UMARTIAN)
If that is the case they would marry whoever they want to since they dont want to raise their child with a religion. -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??This annoys me. I've no intention of marrying a Muslim man. I'll marry whoever I fall in love with who loves me. We're not living in the Dark Ages where women are completely powerless. Funnily enough, if the non-Muslim I wanted to marry was so power-crazed that he wouldn't let me live my life the way I wanted to and wanted to force our kids into a certain way of life, then you know what, I wouldn't want to be marrying him in the first place, would i?!

Fair enough with being theist but to have some sort of religious superiority complex when thinking about who other people marry just makes me roll my eyes in a disappointed way... -

I think it's more a case of most Muslim women just aren't interested in non-Muslim men because they want to date/marry someone with the same beliefs. It's the same as most devout Catholics wouldn't marry an atheist as religion is such a big part of their lives and they would prefer that their partner share that with them.

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??it is always very encouraging to see that there are Muslims who think with their own head and do not blindly follow ossified interpretations, good for the 7th century(Original post by hermi1)
I'm a Muslim girl and as far as I'm aware my parents would allow me to marry a non Muslim man, so long as he believes in god and would allow me to bring up our children as Muslims
I personally believe that marrying a Muslim would be preferable, due to similarities in lifestyle, but if I fell "in love" with a non Muslim I wouldn't reject marriage all together simply because he's of a different faith! But then again, this is just my view
thanks for that -

A breath of fresh air.
Now, for my opinion :
as I see it, Islam considers that no Kaffir (non-Muslim) should be in a position of authority over a Muslim, because Muslims are intrinsically superior to non-Muslims (Muslims are, as the Quran says, the best of peoples, enjoining good and forbidding evil)
since, in Islam, the husband has authority over his wife, if a Muslim woman could marry a non-Muslim man, she would then be under the authority of a non-Muslim
and this would be against the "natural order" of things. -

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??I once watched a video about a celebrity converting to Islam (can't remember who it was), and slowly he converted his full family into Islam except his grand mother (who was on her death bed), so he asked his grand mother 'do you wan't to be with grand father for ever', she replied 'yes' and then he requested that she converted into Islam. She started crying and converted to Islam on her death bed, only days later she passed away..but she left this world with all her sins wiped off.(Original post by farhiyaserar)

Re: Why can't Muslim women marry Non-Muslims??lol(Original post by Dirac Delta Function)
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.
id say in general in the west white european women are preferred, and east asian, but there are some hot arab etc women, only problem is you cant see them so cant tell if they are attractive or not! -

the fact is a lot of muslim women are likely to be at best disowned or worst killed if they even dated a non muslim, this is enough to put anyone off -

As a girl with many female Muslim friends, I can assure you that the majority would, at worst, face a disappointed but eventually placated father.(Original post by badcheesecrispy)
