Some people say it is always better to marry in your own religion. Having said that, Hinduism and Jainism are closely related and have many rituals, religious practices and beliefs in common.

The Jains are divided in a few castes, some of which intermarry with (and are thereby biologically part of) Hindu merchant castes: Jain Agarwals marry Hindu Agarwals but not Jain Oswals. They function as part of the merchant castes in the larger Hindu caste scheme. If the observance of caste endogamy is taken as a criterion of Hinduism, then Jains are Hindus by that criterion. In September 2001, the Rajasthan High Court ruled that the Jains are Hindus, not a separate non-Hindu minority; but in some other states they are counted as a separate minority. Clearly, there is no consensus about this in lay society.

It depends on their backgrounds, their families. If the two families, the boy's and the girl's, are not against inter-religion marriage then they should have no problem. But if they are they will probably not accept the alliance. If the boy and the girl want to marry against the wishes of their parents there is nothing that can stop them from doing that since they're two independent, consenting adults.

It is always better to marry in your own religion. But jainism is closely related to Hinduism, therefore, it will not be a very bad thing. Actually many people with the caste name as jain, follow Hinduism. Lord Mahavira was a radical social reformer. Actually, I am sorry that Hinduism did not adopt Vardhaman Mahavira as an avatara of Lord Vishnu.

No, A Muslim girl cannot marry a Non-Muslim man, may he be of any religion. Only a Muslim man is allowed to marry a Jew or a Christian woman provided she is a true believer in the ONENESS of Allah Almighty. Most of the Christian women don't fall into this category. A Jain boy cannot marry a Muslim girl.

Practices such as marriages are conventional to the Jains, provided they do not cause loss to samyakatva or corruption of the vratas. It is recommended to all Jain Shravakas (unless they have taken a vrata of Brahmacharrya) because the children born of marriage will follow the dharma. The customary of marriage to the Jains is largely governed by the traditional practices that may vary for different Jain communities.
