Abstract
Marriage is an essential institution of society. The terms
‘interfaith marriage’ stand for marital union between followers
of different religions or faith. The purpose of this research is
to address the issue related to the practicability of interfaith
marriage in Islam and its impact on society. Different
methodologies in the form of arguments are given in support of
and against interfaith marriages while opinions of eminent
jurists are consulted based on rulings of Shariah. The concerns
on the issue of interfaith marriages are answered by supporting
evidences from Quran, Sunnah and practice of Companions of the
Holy Prophet (S.A.W). While the cross arguments are based on
secondary sources of Islamic Law, Islamic Legal maxims (Qawaid
al fiqhia) and objectives of Shariah. The effects of such
marriages on society and the marital relations is also an
important part of this research and it is suggested that new
paradigms for how to reconcile different faiths should be
formulated in order to prevent such problems in future
