Can Muslim women date outside of their religion?

[Zacarias]

I really like this girl at my university who's from the Middle East. She's Muslim, and I'm Roman Catholic. Should I try going out with her, or not waste anytime if it is against her beliefs?

[Anonymous]

One thing to watch out for it's​ also culture, as some Muslim countries have a culture where they wouldn't even date outside of their culture, for example many Pakistani women won't date Arabs because of the difference in culture. I had a 4 years relationship with a Muslim girl but in the end it didn't work out. The family can be an issue, and so can the people as we used to get the most awkward death stares as we would walk past the shopping centre etc

[Zacarias]

Yeah I know what you mean. She's Pakistani or Indian, I can't remember which, and I'm Spanish lol which don't give me the best odds I'm assuming!

[Opinion Owner]

Same with me, as I am Latin and she was Pakistani, all I can tell you is good luck, but make sure you put your happiness first

[OlderAndWiser]

1. Not every Muslim is a devout, practicing Muslim.

2. Are you dating just for companionship? Looking for casual sex? Hoping to find a partner for LTR? How do your potentially differing religious beliefs enter into your goals for dating?

3. Have you indicated your interest to her? If so, how did she respond?

I was watching this show and a Muslim girl got with a Jewish guy, they dated for over a year but in the end it clashed because of personal beliefs... but at the start her brother wasn't really open to the idea especially out of their religion as well and she didn't tell her family about dating him at all... if you do approach her see how open minded she is when it comes to it

[Zacarias]

She's a very conservative Muslim girl, so I'd assume she wouldn't be open to dating a catholic

[DolceAmore]

Mm, but then again you'll have to ask her for that answer if you're really wanting to find out.. but if religion is her identity it will be harder to associate I think, because it defines her to a certain degree but you gotta get to know each other both and have that connection first to overcome those bounds... also you probably can't eat pork if you wanna kiss her as a side note..

[Zacarias]

I live in Spain so we eat a lot of fish 😂

[DolceAmore]

Ahhh, not bad then😂

[yofuknutz]

Does she wear a hijab? If so you may have to keep on walking buddy however all you have to do is ask and see what happens

[lilliank]

traditionally no.. but I come from an interfaith family of a Jewish and Greek Orthodox... both never marry out... but it can be done 😋

[ciitruskiwi]

It depends on her. Some muslim women will date out of their religion and some won't. You won't know unless you try

[TripleAce]

Almost every muslim cherry picks and does not follow the rules 100%... with that said officially dating outside a muslim is probably not one they will break because it's the one that will allow others to judge them the most...

Too much family pressure and you can't even marry each other unless one of you converts, the churches or mosques won't allow it..

[yofuknutz]

If I even if you convert will they ever accept you fully

[FakeName123]

The "religious bloodline" goes through the father in islam. Meaning: No, muslim women aren't allowed to. Muslim men are, because their offspring will be considered muslim due to said "bloodline".

You can still try, but you should be aware that there is very little chance of it actually working out and her standing up towards her parents and her religion.

[HermitNYC]

I think you should ask HER if she would be okay with it. By the way, the Roman Catholic teaching strongly urges Catholics to marry other Catholics, if possible.

[Zacarias]

Trust me man, I know the teachings of the church. I'm not looking to get tied down right now haha

[yofuknutz]

Same situation with the Muslims

[Eternallylucky]

You are also dating her brothers and cousins too. They will be on your back a lot.

[yofuknutz]

Something to think about

[John_Doesnt]

No they cannot. The Koran says a man can date outside his religion, but only if he has the intention of converting to girl. But a woman cannot date outside her religion at all.

[yofuknutz]

Very good to know thank you for illustrating in that

[superdouch]

Depends how religious they are. Some will, some won't. Expect shit to be complicated.

Doesn't have to be. But if it gets serious, expect it to be.

[Zacarias]

I think she's pretty religious. I don't think she'd ever go to mass with me jaja

[superdouch]

For muslims its against their religion to be with a non muslim man. If you're religious too you'd better not waste each others time.

[Zacarias]

You've got a good point mate

[superdouch]

Sucks but yeah probably best, cause if you fall for her or her you or both, somebody's gonna have to compromise on something deep like religion and that's super hard, probably end in heartbreak.

And hooking up won't work cause they can't lose their viginity before marriage etc...

[Intraluminal]

I don't know about dating, but it's haram to marry outside of her religion, IF she is a devout Muslim.

[Decentguy]

according to islam they can't
but most of the muslims are doing much bigger sins these days. so it depends on the person

[alice55]

In their religion they can't and very few do. It's generally only for one night stand they do.

[Anonymous]

mostly even if they date , you'll have to change your religion if you are gonna marry her.

[yofuknutz]

Yeah but even if your do well they accept you

[Opinion Owner]

I doubt that my friend. One case which I remember of a Muslim woman accepting Hinduism for the guy was just a bait and switch. Post marriage nothing she practiced was of hindu religion so that's that.

[jordan52]

the best thing you can do is ask her directly, dude. everyone is different, you'll never know.

[Adam_elardaoui202]

Is she wearing a scarf I'm Muslim so i want to help

[Zacarias]

She does not

[Adam_elardaoui202]

So she's open try to speak to her and check her ideas and mentality and how she think but i haft to say something because she's Muslim she know the Arabic food boy you gonna enjoy^_^

[sameh542]

it's forbidden (haram) for the Muslim girl to marry a Christian man

[FreeButt]

Muslims respect other religion. You should try.

[TripleAce]

Are you sure? More than one god? many gods?

[FreeButt]

@TripleAce what you mean many gods?

[abhisabarwal]

yea u can... every has right to love..

[Anonymous]

If she has suicidal tendencies.

[Humbart]

my mother is Muslim an father is Catholic

[yofuknutz]

Holyshit how did that work out

[Ghassan2]

It's against her beliefs. I'm Muslim.

[Fk7676]

[Anonymous]

No they can't
