Any Saudi's in Saudi Arabia married to a non muslim? How do you feel about it?

Question

I'm just curious about it, since I am American, where we have inter-racial and inter-faith marriages.

Answer 1

Muslima are not allowed to marry a man from a different faith.

Muslims can do so and mostly the future wife converts to Islam.

One of my friends got married 2 weeks ago. He's a Saudi and she is catholic European. They even had a mixed ceremony. Of course not in Saudi:))

Inter-racial and inter-faith marriages do not bother me at all. These are personal issues and should be left up to each couple alone.

Take care.

Answer 2

If a Saudi man marries a foreigner and wants his marriage approved, then the wife has to be a Muslim.  They ask for a shahadah certificate or an official letter from a masjid stating that she is a Muslim.  This document has to be stamped and signed by the masjid in Washington DC.  I don't think they'd approve a marriage to a non-muslim unless the man is going to pay a lot of money as a bribe to get it done, or maybe if he's a member of the royal family because they can do what they want.

How do I feel about it?  I think if someone cares a lot about his/her religion, then they will want to marry someone with the same beliefs.  It's much easier to live with the same belief system, and also it is much easier on the children.

There are many Muslims who are in inter-racial marriages.  It's very common because Islam helps to close the cultural gap.

Answer 3
