Interfaith Marriage
If a muslim marries a non practicing polythiest and the marriage is recognised by the society what will be the status of the marriage according to Islam? In this case will the muslim, apart from disobeying a command clearly spelt in the Quran, be also a fornicator( as nikkah has not happened so this marriage might be treated like a live in relationship) ? If the polythiest spouse is just polythiest by name and an agnostic then will the punishment be different as when a practicing polythiest is married to?

Brother Umer thanks for the links but my question was only about marrying polythiests, the Quran prohibits such marriages but if the society or law of the land recognises such marriages should we also recognise it as a legitimate marriage?

The marriage would be valid in the context that it will not be considered equivalent to adultery, however, it will be a violation of one of the directives of the Quran.

I am a student. In my opinion, the marriage is valid, but you may be held liable for the impact of interfaith marriage on your faith, on your relatives and friend’s faith or the impact on the faith of your children. On the other hand, if you are able to convert your spouse to your faith, then it may be a big win for you. Why not try to convert before the marriage. Marriage should be based on logical decision and less on passion; as passion may wane over time.

Yes Nadeem bhai I was uncertain about the legality of the marriage because I have a family member who had married a hindu and I was thinking if it is sinful to invite them to the house or not.
