Peace
I just got angry at how insane I find it to be asking what is the law in regards to marrying someone
Well marriage is a contract. Would you get just as angry if someone asked what the law for marriage was in NY?
Even worse he isn't asking for himself.
So what? I might see someone steal a baby's candy. Can I ask if that's wrong?
He is asking about women and might potentially use that to judge 1/2 the world.
We all judge through our lens.
I just think that the law is for criminals.
Hmmm, was the draft for criminals? Or the age at which one can vote?
So asking for a law in regards to marriage seems weird.
I'd suppose so if I were in your shoes.
There is no end to sharia law Joe and it scares me.
This site does not endorse sharia.
It is so easy for a muslim in the west to be a free mind or to be a free mind in private but when the sharia police come for you they will declare you never were a muslim and you were breaking various sharia laws.
I think some of us would certainly not be muslimeen according to their teachings, that's fine. The judgement we seek is from the book .
Why not have one law - love others as you would love yourself.
Let's not be hypocrites and ask why should people look to some law unless it's your one law.
That's all God ever really asked us to do.
According to the quran one is free to acknowledge or not .

Peace and welcome
The problem lies in viewing muslim and islam as labels or titles, when they are in fact common, descriptive nouns. Therefore, a 'christian' could very well be a muslim. As Joe has intricately pointed out in reply #2, kafir/the-so-called-disbelievers are not simply 'non-muslims' (pardon the double negative).
Please see

I simply want to know if a muslim woman can marry outside of her religion

According to 'sectarian' rules...
A woman of certain 'sect' cannot marry somebody outside of her 'sect'. unless he converted to her 'sect'.
If it is the woman decided to convert to 'another sect', then she is guity of 'apostasy' and subjected to dire punishment ranging from; banishment/exile to honour killing.This is to keep the 'sect pure from 'infidel influences'...
Now you can change "SECT" word on the above to any name of the sect such as SUNNI, SHIITE, CATHOLIC, JW, 7DA, MORMONS, ORTHODOX, HAREDI JUDAISM, ORTHODOX JUDAISM.. and the list goes on and on..

a muslim man or a woman cannot marry a christian (one who believes Jesus is son of God and in the trinity). the christians referred to in the Koran are those who believed Jesus is son of Mary and a messenger from God.
if i had to choose between a man who is a christian as per the koran (doesn't believe in the trinity) and a hadith follower - surely, it will be more 'islamic' for me to marry a man who is a monotheist than a man who believes God + hadiths.

ah, now i know... so you're a lady.
btw, before "resorting" to "alternatives"... i'm sure there are quite a number of true monotheist muslim men who are single
(afridi is not one of them though P) -

I agree with most of this reply. Unfortunately many Christians have misunderstood the bible and have taken the word "son" literally. Throughout the bible it uses the word "son" to mean "descendant of", i.e. Jesus being the son of David. Well of course he wasn't literally the son of David, he was a descendant on David. In two of the four gospels it gives the linage of Jesus ending in "...... was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God". Therefore, Jesus was the son of God because he was a descendant of Adam, as we all are according to the old testament. I believe, as you do, that Jesus was a prophet and messenger.

bravo
By trinity doesn't it mean that trinitian christians are still monotheists because they believe 3 is one? !

Well that certainly applies to most. Even if they believe Jesus was God (which I don't), the belief is actually that he was God in human form (still the one God) and that the holy spirit is God's influence that touches us. So when they say "God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit" they are only talking about three different manifestations of the one God. The biggest difference (in belief) between mainstream Christians and others is the belief that Jesus was God who came to Earth and took human form. Many modern day Christians now reject that idea.

Why keep looking for a law to tell you what your heart knows?
Ask yourself this Who is bumsarama if all he is is a rule follower? You will live and die by that question.
We look to God's laws because he knows what is best. But you are correct, I also am a rule follower, and I will live and die by it. I also pray I die among the righteous who follow the laws of God.
I can understand your view, as I was a christian before, and am married to one, and many protestants seem to hate the idea of rigid laws, as they blame it on "the spirit of religion".
