Marriage Between A Muslim Girl And A Christian Boy
Assalam u alaikum,
Recently one of my friends sister working as a flight attendant married a Christian guy in court. I wanted to ask how Islam sees this marriage?
Note: The Christian guy is not inclined towards Islam as well.

A socially accepted marriage is a legitimate marriage. However, it is not supposed to be for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim if she values her faith. Even for a Muslim man, it is allowed to marry a Christian or Jewish girl with the condition that it should be done when Muslim civilization is dominating as the word “Al-Yauma”, “Now”, indicates in the following verse. Otherwise, God has warned Muslims not to compromise or forsake their faith in such marriages. See the verse, especially the warning at the end:
الْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ ۖ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ ۖ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ إِذَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِي أَخْدَانٍ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالْإِيمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
All pure things have now been made lawful to you. [Consequently,] the food of the People of the Book is lawful to you and yours to them. Similarly, [the bounds and limits of polytheism and monotheism have also become evident; hence] lawful to you are the chaste women of the Muslims and also the chaste women of those who were given the Book before you when you give them their dowers with the condition that you too desire chastity not lewdness nor becoming secret paramours. [However, always keep your faith pure] and [do bear in mind that] those who reject faith, all their hard work ended in vain, and in the world to come they will be among the losers. (5:5)
This is a matter of how sensitive a person is about his or her faith. It is as if one does not like to marry a person with corrupt practices, the same or even more sensitive a believer should be about his or her faith that he or might not feel like marrying a person who commits shirk or does not follow his faith. But if a person is not that sensitive about his or her faith, no legal verdict can stop him or her from choosing their path whatsoever.
