Few silly questions - relationship

    There's few questions without answer in my mind... Hope somebody can help.

    What does Qran says about the relationship between muslim girl and non-muslim male? Can they be in relationship from the islamic point of view?

    What are the consequences if they refuse to break that relationship?

    Can they marry? And what if parents will say "Yes" to this relationship? Does it make any change for them?

    Does it make any difference if he's an atheist/christian/jewish etc?

    The generic response is that a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim male (i.e. a non-Muslim would convert to Islam). The opposite doesn't apply, however - Muslim men can marry Christians/Jews etc.

    It would be complicated by how strictly they adhere to Islam (a strict muslim female wouldn't really associate with men outside the family, never mind have a "relationship"), where as some more liberally minded ones wouldn't see an issue - so there are lots of viewpoints between the two extremes.

    What if parents would accept that kind of relationship? If they would see that the guy is really nice and friendly to their daughter? Is that possible if they're not that religious?

    Sures its possible, but there is really no way anyone can tell here, as we don't know the people involved.

    Thanks wes!

    I was in library today and borrowed "What every Christian should know about Islam". I'm not Christian myself but I grew up in Christian country so found it friendly.. Hope I can find some answers there.


    By the way, Happy Eid to all of you!!! :)
