[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What does your family think of this?[/b]   I'm a Christian woman married to a Muslim man and as  you know Islam allows men to marry Christian and Jewish women.  But not vice versa.   I know if his sisters or his daughters wanted to marry a non-Muslim man, things would be very tense. [/quote]

In all clarity, the Quran isn't definite about the prohibition on muslim women marrying non-muslim men. All the Quran says is that muslim men can marry women from among "people of the book", that is, christians and jews. It does NOT explicitly state that muslim women CANNOT do that. Muslim scholars have so far interpreted the lack of such an address to women to mean that NO permission is given. I'd like to think its left  ambiguous on purpose so that the Muslim community can interpret it to fit the times and best apply its meaning to their unique situation.[/quote]

[b]If this is OP, I was curious how your family handled this.[/b] [/quote]

Trying for the third time to see if you answer. How did your family react to your marrying a Christian?
