Marriage With Polytheists And With People Of The Book (Ahl-e-Kitab)
I am sorry. I could not comprehend the commentary on my question in the referred thread, if it was indeed in there. I suppose that in the Qur’an, no separate restriction is placed on Muslim women marrying disbelieving or Ahl e kitab men any more than being correlated together with Muslim men marrying polytheistic women; and since, Muslim men marrying polytheistic women renders the marriage fasid, similar irregularity must be applied on the marriage of a Muslim women to polytheistic or Ahl e Kitab men. I see no extraordinary evidence of declaring the marriage batil. I would request you to touch on this point.
Yes of course it is a deviation. Women are not allowed to marry a non Muslim.
