Speed, you ask if the motion refers to freedom to marry any man, or any Muslim man.
I'm not religious scholar, but I was under the impression that if a Muslim woman marries from outside the faithshe is as good as an apostate, although I believe that men have the express permission to marry anyone from the book, right?
So using that logic, a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim man is no long a Muslim, and hence the debate motion no longer applies.
As well as forumlating reasons WHY a Muslim woman should be allowed to marry the (Muslim) man of her choice, it would be just as interesting to hear the reasons why she should NOT be able to marry the man of her choice.
Here's my two cents:
