In Islam, marriage is considered a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, aiming to create a peaceful and harmonious society. However, Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslim men due to several reasons based on Islamic laws and principles. One of the primary justifications is that Islam considers men as protectors and maintainers of women. Therefore, marrying a non-Muslim man could potentially jeopardize the woman’s beliefs and religious commitment since he may not respect or support her faith adequately. Moreover, in many cases, non-Muslim husbands may not be willing to follow Islamic family laws regarding inheritance rights, child-rearing practices or divorce procedures which can lead to conflict within the marriage in addition to other issues.
Islam values unity amongst spouses; therefore, it is believed that couples with differing religious upbringings cannot attain true unison in belief over time. This leads to further conflict in the future making such a relationship unfavorable for Muslim women. They are likely to be unhappy, incompatible marriages.
