It's depends on how much your religion is important to you. If it isn't then I am sure one has already made up their mind of who they want to marry.
I am a muslim and I would like to bring Muslim children in this world. Show them the right and wrong...and then let them make their own decision. It is our duty to marry another muslim whether he/she is from another country or converted. |

I wouldn't say it's wrong, but it's harder to marry anyone that is of different culture/religion than you unless you're open to this kind of difference. Some are.
I am not a religious person and so it doesn't make sense for me to be with someone that is very religious..it just wouldn't work. Good luck ladies! |

"Why is it so wrong to date outside the Muslim culture?"
I don't think we're supposed to be dating at all regardless of what culture lol But I know what you're saying, I think(?). From an Islamic perspective a Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim girl provided she's a believer of any one of the scripture books that came down before the Quran (i.e. to believe that God is One). This is because the male has a stronger influence on the woman and usually the woman converts to islam afterwards. For the same reason, the kids will follow Islam because of the dominant influence of the father. Also, if the marriage doesn't work out the father gets automatic custody of the kids thus raising them as Muslims. But because many Muslims live in non-Islamic countries today, a fatwa was passed pertaining to those living in non-Islamic governed countries declaring it impermissible (not allowed) for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim female regardles of her beliefs. This is because in these non-Islamic governed countries if the marriage falls apart, the mother gets automatic custody of the kids. If the mother was still a non-Muslim then she'll raise the kids as non-Muslims. I doubt any Muslim would want that  |

None of what you say is your own thoughts but old ideas which have been ingrained into you. Is there a proof that males have a stronger influence? Automatic custody goes to father?? Do you think that is a fair law? Think before you post ideas which you have accepted without questioning them. Edited by DEMOCRITUS 31 May 2012 at 03:22

There is a difference between culture and religion. Of course there are areas that they sort of overlap, but don't mix religious ideas with cultural practices. There are many cultural practices that have nothing to do with religion at all.
Now the question asks if it is okay "Outside muslim culture". You have to be very specific. Culture consists of practices that may have NOT come from religion. Every country has their own cultural practices and there are a lot of those practices that have no "Islamic" base, such as Nawroz that we celebrate. Is your question related to marrying someone who is Muslim, but from a different culture, such as Bengali, Pakistani, Indian? Or.............. Is your question related to marrying someone who is non-Muslim? |

It seems most of you don't understand English very well. There is a big difference between religion and culture and race. The question was NOT about religion but rather about interracial marriage. This does not equate to having different religions. If you value what the Quran says and what the prophet said (which I realize most of us don't give a shit about), Islam strongly recommends us to marry someone muslim if you are muslim. If you don't believe in the ruler of the world but we think we rule all aspects of our life and death and heaven and hell, then you can do anything you like...marry a guy, girl, a dog, whatever you like. This life is full of choices and what you has zero effect on anyone else online or offline. However, there will be a day of judgement and let's hope we are well prepared for that day.
Someone mentioned "muslim culture"....oh my friend, islam is a religion and not a culture or a cult. If you don't understand that, go ask someone that has a PhD in Islam. Islam not only allows for interracial marriages but in a way even recommends marrying from other cultures to bring people closer together. That being said we all know that everyone especially us Afghans think we rule our own domain and don't give a shit about other cultures are people. Hey....this message simply exemplifies all the stupid comments above. Such as Haily saying in my personal opinion...as though she can have an opinion on something that God has given an opinion on...she can give an opinion on color of the wall but not on things that God has given an opinion on. I, like MLK, have a dream that one day we Afghans will have an awesome religious education and worldly education...we can be the best in both but surely have a long long ways to go in both area. May Allah swt help us! |

May Allah swt help us! It seems you do not understand English very well. The question is about "Muslim Culture": meaning a culture which has been influenced by islam. An Afghan Jew marrying an Afghan muslim would satisfy this condition. They are both from the same race so it is not interracial but outside muslim culture. Not sure why you are pointing at other people and claiming they do not understand English very well, when you are the only one on this forum who does not understand the question. Calling someone's opinion stupid means you are arrogant, close minded, not well educated and disrespectful. Haily's opinion is sound and not stupid. You claim questioning God's opinion is not an option; what proof do you have these are God's opinions? What proof do you have God even exists? I am not saying God does not exist but simply saying no one has a proof or else everyone would believe in God. What you need to do is to go back to high school, get your diploma, then pursue higher education and when you have your PhD then you will realize how meaningless your comments above are. If you already are well educated then you are plain stupid and there is no cure for stupid so you are "shit" (your favorite word) out of luck. The only reason you probably know the word "interracial" is probably because you type that word in porn sites all the time!! Edited by DEMOCRITUS 2 Aug 2015 at 11:12
