According to Hinduism, a Hindu girl or boy can marry from any religion.

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 (as Hindu or Buddhist or Atheist) then he / she should convert to Islam to be able to marry the Muslim boy or girl.

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.

The decision is between the two of you if you want to marry each other but if you choose to then your marriage won't a very happy one. If you both believe in separate things you'll slowly drift away from each other. Just think about it.

Our Watchtower repeatedly reminds us of Paul's counsel to avoid becoming 'unevenly yoked'. For example Watchtower 15th March 1982 page 31 says

'' Do not marry someone who is not serving the Lord. The inspired counsel was not, 'If you find a clean, decent person, it is permissible to court and marry that individual with the hope that he or she may eventually become a Christian [Jehovah's Witness].' Rather, God's Word clearly says: "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers." (2 Corinthians 6:14) To marry someone who is not already a baptized Christian [a Jehovah's Witness] would be to disregard that serious counsel.

But what if a Witness planned to disregard God's advice and to marry someone who was not a baptized Witness? Unless there was some exceptional reason, brothers in the congregation would not want to solemnize such an unequal yoking. Nor would the Kingdom Hall be available for the wedding. It is available for marriages of two baptized Christians who are marrying "only in the Lord." Or it might sometimes be used by two persons who are regularly serving God as part of the congregation and who will soon be baptized. By not allowing the Kingdom Hall to be used by a Witness who plans to 'become unevenly yoked with an unbeliever,' the congregation elders can underscore the seriousness of God's counsel to marry "only in the Lord."

At the end of the day whether you have a successful marriage is up to you two. However,please bear in mind our Watchtower 1st Sept 1989 page 19, states that ''Only Jehovah's Witnesses,have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system .''

Muslims can not:

1. worship any partner to Allah (God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism) as one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.
2. deny Quran as God words revelation to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel
3. deny the 2nd eternal life after Day of Judgement where all people will be judged by God and either be rewarded; by God mercy; and accepted in His Paradise or be punished; due to their bad deeds and wrong faith; and pushed in His Hell fire.

Answer: A Muslim man is allowed to marry a women of heaven-sent religions (Muslim or Jewish or Christian woman) as long as she has faith in the one and only one God. He is not allowed to marry woman/girl of non-heaven sent religions. However, if man has concern that the children will be influenced to be other than Muslim if he marries Jewish or Christian woman, then he should not do it. The children have to be Muslims by religion and should be raised according to Islam religion. The answer below is not much different.

Answer: Cannot marry until the non-Muslim accepts Islam and convert to Islam if the non-Muslim is not Jewish or Christian (called People of the Book). According to Quran, Woman from, 'People of Book' is allowed for marriage with a Muslim man without converting to Islam religion.

Answer: What the *!?*? Really? What are you guys Islamic extremists? You can marry anybody you want, when you want, and where you want. If you are over the legal age your free you can marry, date, and live with whoever you want to and your parents can't do anything. Conversion is stupid. You can be of different religions and be married. Screw that that's from a book. There is absolutely no evidence of a god. It's a ridiculous thought that only exists because mortal men wrote a book (same men that thought sea monsters were real and the earth was flat). It makes as much sense as believing in Harry Potter or some other fantasy story... marry who you want, screw everybody you thinks otherwise....

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 (as Hindu or Buddhist or Atheist) then he / she should convert to Islam to be able to marry the Muslim boy or girl.

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.

A Christian is not allowed to marry a non-Christian.

However, if the Jewish adulteress had converted to Christianity, it would not matter that she was ethnically Jewish or that she had committed adultery. The Christian community would only care about what she was like as a Christian.

It might matter that she was divorced, as Christians have different opinions on the remarriage of divorcees. For example, a strict Catholic never allows it. In other churches, the relevant question might be whether there was any chance of reconciliation with her former husband. If, for example, he had already remarried, that would be taken as an indication that she was also free to remarry. Other pastors would be more interested in knowing whether she had learned from past mistakes, and would make a decision about whether or not to conduct the wedding on a case-by-case basis.

Hinduism is a very tolerant religion and marriage is never discriminated due to race, color or religion. Hinduism believes all religions lead to God so, one is never greater than the other.

According to Islamic marriage rules:

No, A Hindu girl can't marry a Muslim boy. Muslim boy can marry only a Muslim, Jewish, or Christian girl.

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,

The relationship would start out on a very rocky road and the chances of it getting REALLY ugly are 100%. If he doesn't live in his country and lives in the States you may stand a chance, but if his parents are in the States then that fear will eat away at your relationship.

I suggest if his parents live in the States, then have him introduce you to them. Start out slow and easy and they may just accept you. My Asian girlfriend married our best friend and her family was against it and wanted her to stay with her own race. Slowly her boyfriend won them over, they were married and have been married for 15 years. He couldn't have asked for better in-laws.

Remember ... slow and easy and meet those parents if you can.

Culture is Another Factor

According to Islamic tradition, people of the Christian and Jewish faiths are considered "People of the Book." Ultimately meaning that it is entirely permissible for a Muslim male to marry a Christian female. Theoretically speaking, your particular religious creed should not be a detrimental factor in your relationship.

What needs to be considered, however, is the native culture and nationality of the respective Muslim male. Not all Muslims are Arabs and most certainly not all Arabs are Muslim. Traditional Arab culture is molded by a highly patriarchal society, where the family, particularly the elder males, hold great influence on familial decisions of the younger generations. With that said, because his family is not aware of his premarital relationship, it is indicative of several possibilities: 1) Because it is not culturally permissible to "date" due to the traditional method of family arranged marriages and the taboo nature of premarital relationships in the Middle East, he quite possibly might feel angst about being scolded by his family and the community. However, it now appears to be less culturally frowned upon when boys engage in premarital relationships as compared to several decades past, a double standard if I may so add. 2) It would be best if things were made clear about your expectation of the relationship's future because it could mean he does not wish to marry at this point in time. 3) It could be none of the above or an amalgamation of issues. But consider this, because of the family's strong significance in Arab culture, if he truly wishes to marry or stay in a long relationship with you, then he would tell his family. Likewise, I find other ethnic groups smilarly have highly structured familial relations (subject to varying degress), such as South Asian (Pakistani and Indian), Afghani, and traditional East and Southeast Asian families.

I wish you good luck because just like in any other relationship, minus the obvious religious and cultural differences, obstacles will arise and it may or may not work out in the end.

P.S. I am a doctorate candidate studying cultural Anthropology with a specialization in the Middle East, and I wish to reassert that we are all of the human race. "Race" is a scientific term used for taxonomic purposes and should be recognized as that. The differences we speak of are cultural, not racial. There are no racial differences between African-Americans, Asians, or Caucasians. Cultural and physical, yes, but much deeper than that, definitely not. Help break down barriers by valuing people for their integrity and character and not by their supposed "race."

Yes, even in a Christian church, but the Muslim's family will most likely have a problem with this union. Christian family may as well, it all depends on the people.

Marriage in Islam is defined as a contract between the two partners and Allah (God in English and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism). Accordingly, it should be matching all terms and conditions specified by God in His holy book Quran and by prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Even civil marriage should be matching these conditions. The licit marriage per Islam teachings is valid only:

• A Muslim man and a Muslim, Christian, or a Jewish woman; and
• A Muslim woman and only a Muslim man.

Hence a Muslim woman is not allowed to get married licitly to a Christian man.

It is strictly forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a Christian man if she knows that one day she will be in front of Her Creator and will be asked about her commitments to the Islam teachings and accordingly she will be either accepted in God's Paradise or be pushed in Hell fire.

Unlicit marriage in Islam is not different than fornication which is strictly forbidden in Islam and is a big sin.
