Whereas Muslim men are allowed to marry women from among the followers of another
revealed religion, Muslim women may not marry non-Muslims: the reason being that Islam enjoins
reverence of all the prophets, while the followers of other religions reject some of them -
e.g., the Prophet Muhammad or, as is the case with the Jews, both Muhammad and Jesus. Thus,
while a non-Muslim woman who marries a Muslim can be sure that - despite all doctrinal
differences - the prophets of her faith will be mentioned with utmost respect in her Muslim
environment, a Muslim woman who would marry a non-Muslim would always be exposed to an
abuse of him whom she regards as God's Apostle.
In the case of a muslim man who is like above he also should not be married.
Hope that answers your question.
I really liked it. It's probably the story I've read from you.
Good comment on the Saudi girl's issue of freedom and her relationship to God.
