Does this mean I'm not actually married

This is out of this mornings peninsula concerning the jailing of an Indian and a Pakastani for an illicit relationship.

The court imposed a three-year penalty because her lover was a Christian, meaning there was no chance of the pair ever marrying unless he converted to Islam.

Er what rubbish people talk, I'm married to a Muslim and I'm still very much a Christian and neither of us ever thought about changing the others faith.

From a purely religious point f view, yur mrriage in invalid..However, If you both make a personal choice, then that is up to you.

As far as the case in question, it is just to do with the law here regarding relationships out of wedlock..Right or wrong.. Its their country...

Dear all, when it comes to personal choice ofcourse no issues of whatever you feel like you do it.

But when it comes to faith and or code of life and specially when someone is submitted to the beliefs, Then it has to be what is said to be done is to be done...still the option of love it or leave it is available and then answer to Allah later situation...

Now in this particular case, 1stly they are not married (illict relation and muslimah is involved) and further more they are in the land where the rule does not permit any illict relationship).. so they are stuck in these two issues and are facing what they are facing...

Actuall Islamic punishment is 80 lashes each if found guilty of illict relationship when both are not married.

Lets not mix the free will n choice and free will n choice within when one is pre submitted to follow a particular faith which is being guided with rules and regulation....

Plus also not mix the free will n choice when one is further submitted to live in a country who follows certain rules...the state does not force any one to live here when one does not accept the rules and regulations...

so that is pretty much it...Love it or leave it and wait for the results here-after when facing the Lord of the Aalameen... Allah az Zoujal

nobody explain her that why Muslim woman not married to non-muslim,and why muslim man can marry to non-muslim woman.the main and big reason is that in the islam all the muslim give respect to all the Prophets but in other religions it doesn't happened,they abused other prophet when they want,so for man if he wants to marry any non-muslim lady its better that she should be accept the Islam.

^May she can where you come from, but, she cannot in Doha. Here a man can have 4 wives, he can;t do that in US. So they have to live by the laws or end up in prison.

jango warrior, first it's not clear from your post either the couple were married or not. If they weren't marries, so yes, this is a punishment for the illicit relationship. Is there were married, so as inspiron said, muslim man can be married to non-muslim woman, but not otherwise.. so this is NOT your case...
