Abstract:
Differences in religion have an Impact on family matters,
where the ruling of the issue can change. The default in
marriage contract is permissibility. However, this
permissibility Is governed by regulations, non-compliance
with which can invalidate the marriage contract, such as
marrying a non-Muslim. Nevertheless, this marriage can be
valid despite religious differences, according to conditions
and regulations. However, If such marriage occurs, it does
not prevent unforeseen circumstances, such as conversion to
Islam or apostasy, whichh necessitates differentiation.
Additionally, this marriage may not succeed, leading to
dissolution and leaving behind children, who are attributed
to the first to embrace Islam. As for their custody, it Is granted
to their mother, who may be a non-believer, with jurists
differing on its reality between permitting and prohibiting,
while agreeing that both the guardian and witnesses must be
Muslims. Regarding maintenance, it is valid despite religious
differences, unlike inheritance, on which they differ between
permitting and prohibiting
