frattogal: This is not a matter of tribelism is a matter of belief. Both have different belief which will make it very difficult to bring both together. Dude im speaking from the perspective of a Nigerian and a Tribal. Tribe comes before these (foreign religions), ESPECIALLY when we are talking about marriage. The sons and daughters of Oduduwa have the right to marry each other. The sons and daughters of Bayanjidda have the right to marry each other. The sons and daughters of Eri have the right to marry each other. No jesus or muhammad who were born yesterday has the RIGHT to create rifts between our people, when our tribes and customs predate the birth of even these abrahamists grand papa. If you are of the same blood, no external force has the RIGHT to prevent you from marrying each other. 13 Likes |

A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian woman, but a Christian man is not permitted to marry a Muslim woman. I remember hearing an interview on the radio with a Muslim, a few years ago. As the interview began, the host asked the Muslim guest whether he was married. He replied that Islam is so open and tolerant that he is married to a Christian. Islam means equality and no discrimination. However, the quick-minded interviewer asked him if Islam allows a Jewish man or a Christian man to marry a Muslim woman. The guest’s enthusiasm dropped a little. He had to concede that Islam does not allow this. The radio host pressed home the point, saying that the guest’s first statement was a little misleading, wasn’t it? They argued for a moment or two. Then, if I recall correctly, the radio host sensed his guest’s unease and changed the subject. A short article from a Muslim website, representing many others, says about religiously mixed marriages: It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian/Jewish woman strictly under these two conditions: 1. She is a true Christian/Jew – not by name and/or ancestral background. 2. She did not renegade from Islam and become a Christian/Jew. Why is marriage allowed in only one direction? Maybe seventh-century Arab culture will answer this question. Perhaps the Quran itself does not honor women, married or not. What does the New Testament say on the matter? The Quran For the historical and literary topical context of this next sura (chapter), please click here. The Quran in Sura 5:5 says: . . . Likewise you are permitted to marry chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste women among the people who were given the Scripture [Jews and Christians] . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 427) This verse, as noted, says that Islam permits Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women who are Christians and Jews, but a Jewish or Christian man may not marry a Muslim woman. (In this article I will address only the Christian community.) What is the rationale behind the ruling? Beyond any doubt, Islam is patriarchal, so a Muslim man must have final control in the relationship. For example, Sura 4:34 says that a husband may hit his wife, but no verse in the Quran says a wife may hit her husband—as if domestic violence in any form is acceptable. It may be true that Muhammad at first respected Judaism and Christianity, but he turned against them later on in his life, as seen in this article and this one. So this means that in seventh-century Arab culture a Muslim man may dominate his wife or wives, but not a Christian man who would dominate his Muslim wife. Islam allegedly is the best and final religion for all humankind, and the Muslim man may convert his submissive wife. Perhaps in Muhammad’s mind no woman could ever convert a Muslim man, if he is a traditionalist. Today, this is especially true if he comes from a hard line region in an Islamic country or a hard line Muslim family. Therefore, Christian women must be careful about marrying Muslim men. Islam does not give the same rights to women as it does to men. In fact, the Quran clearly says that women are inferior to men. Further, to be blunt, but also factual, Islam generally is a cruel and harsh slave-master. This article shows that Muslim men are permitted to have sex with their slave-girls. This article gives the top ten reasons why Islam is not the religion of peace. And this article offers the top ten reasons why Islamic law is bloody and excessive—six hundred years after Jesus showed us a better way. Finally, this article gives the top ten rules in the Quran that oppress and insult women. Islam, as the whole world knows by many, many reports, does not honor women. Therefore, Christians must not trade in the eternal Son of God who sets people free today and offers the love of God, for a human and mortal messenger Muhammad (Suras 3:144; 39:30; 41:4), who is too often cruel and harsh and misogynistic. Islam does not honor women. If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, but holds on to her beliefs, such as the Sonship and Lordship of Christ, then ipso facto she holds on to a false belief and may be considered a "heretic" or an "infidel," if the Quran and traditional Islamic theology are followed consistently. Also, would the children be Muslims or Christians, or secular? The answer is clear, if Islam is followed consistently. What kind of marriage would this be? Where is the spiritual connection and agreement between husband and wife and God? The New Testament The New Testament starts the soon-to-be married couple on an equal footing in the selection of a mate. The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 7:39 says that a Christian woman may marry only a Christian man (and vice-versa) (see also 2 Corinthians 6:14-18). At first glance, this divine counsel seems too restrictive, but looked at more deeply, it demonstrates a lot of wisdom. If a married couple starts their walk together with the same faith and theology, then this takes the pressure off of possibly converting the partner to the other’s faith. One partner does not have to "evangelize" the other partner. Neither partner starts off as an "infidel" or "heretic." In Biblical Christianity, the man and the woman must have a deep, spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ, individually, through the power of the Holy Spirit before they become one flesh in marriage. This means their spiritual intimacy with the Lord will be shared in the couple’s own intimacy with each other. Also, this true spiritual equality takes away any patriarchy. The woman already agrees with the husband in matters of religion, so what need does he have to control the relationship and lay down religious law? In a way, Islam acknowledges this restriction when it forbids a Muslim from marrying a polytheist or idolater (Sura 2:221). They are too far apart theologically. Likewise, though neither religion is polytheistic, Islam and Christianity are too far apart theologically and spiritually, notably in Muhammad’s denial of the Sonship of Jesus Christ, an essential, non-negotiable doctrine in Christianity. Islam wrongly demotes Jesus to a mere prophet. The New Testament everywhere affirms the Sonship of Christ. On a heart-felt level, the Muslim does not receive the Holy Spirit because he does not receive Christ as Savior and Lord. In fact, Islamic theology erroneously reduces the Holy Spirit to the angel Gabriel. This means that a marriage between a Muslim and a Christian would be unequal. And this is risky for the Christian, since she would be most vulnerable to a particularly strong patriarchy that may rear its ugly head later on in the marriage. Remember, the Quran gives permission to husbands to hit their wives if the husbands merely fear high handedness or rebellion in their wives (Sura 4:34). Besides this practical reason, if a Christian understands the New Testament, then he or she must not marry a Muslim, for spiritual and theological reasons. A Christian couple must keep spiritual unity. They must raise their children in spiritual harmony, as followers of Christ. 112 Likes |

I don't endorse marriage between folks of different religions or beliefs. If exceptions are to be made; i can still advocate for marriages between a muslim lady, and a christian guy. Never the other way round! Consider this topic being created in the Islam section, only muslims would have their say without their post being hidden or being banned. The converse happens at the religion or christian. Infact, Christians feel more secured and secularity in a christian headed family is more probable. If u think i'm lying, take a visit to the quarantined Islam section. My fair share is on my signature. 11 Likes |

Why not? Religious people are just so shortsighted, my children can take any religion they wish....... Love supercedes tribe, religion or class, love is what matters, the bible said love ur neighbours and i knw muslims who married xtian wives, its an impossibility for the whole world to worship the same God, so we got to intermarry I know muslims with just one wife, and what makes u think its only muslims that are polygamous, being a xtian doesnt guarantee that u wont marry another wife later even if your church or court wedding took place in heaven and Jesus officiated, i knw xtians with multiple wifes, i know a gal who is a biologigal child to a catholic priest, u get? Besides my parents are not musims although my mum came from a muslim family, her father is a chief imam infact he brought the religion to their town singlehandedly but he married her off to a xtian....

Hypocrisy of the highest Level Christian and Muslim marriage If the two of you get married. By the standards of both religions One of the partners is going to spend an eternity in Hell. This is where i am lost how can you claim you love someone ,have children with someone, spend a lifetime with someone and you both know that the other is going to Hell in the next life. Love Indeed !
