Question 59 — Disparity of Worship as an Impediment to Matrimony

We must now consider disparity of worship as an impediment to marriage.

Under this head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether a believer can marry an unbeliever?

• (2) Whether there is marriage between unbelievers?
• (3) Whether a husband, being converted to the faith, can remain with his wife if she be unwilling to be converted?
• (4) Whether he may leave his unbelieving wife?
• (5) Whether after putting her away he may take another wife?
• (6) Whether a husband may put aside his wife on account of other sins as he may for unbelief?
