Can a Hindu boy marry a Muslim girl?

In: Islam, Hinduism

Answer:

According to Hinduism, it is strictly prohibited and those from orthodox sects even forbid inter-caste marriages.

However, according to Islamic marriage rules, a Muslim can marry only a Muslim, Jewish, or Christian.

However, if the girl or boy is neither Muslim, Christian, or Jewish (and is Hindu or Buddhist or Atheist) then he / she should convert to Islam to be able to marry the Muslim boy or girl. Convert to Islam should be under free will and full choice, per Quran saying.

Another view:

Love and attraction has no bounds. Those who realize that the God is ONE and all humans are same can marry anyone from any society. Marriage is an understanding between two souls to live together in love.

Laws change country to country and if the law of your country allows you to marry without converting - you can marry and live in harmony.
