Should a non-Christian be allowed to marry a Christian?
Marriage cuts across religion or ethnicity, as I don’t think there should be anyone who marries their partner just because they are black, Christian or a Muslim or atheist. People marry because they love each other, ideally religion shouldn’t be a criterion when it comes to getting married. A Christian should be able to marry a non-Christian, you are marrying the person, not their religion, not their tribe or ethnicity.
Ordinarily, religion shouldn’t be a criterion in determining who to marry and who not to marry. But the Bible sure does not consent to a believer getting involved with unbelievers. Because if you think about it, how would a believer, love a nonbeliever unconditionally? Even if they claim to love each other, it will get to a point either party would start to drag the other party to their side. Then what happens? The unbeliever becomes a believer? The believer becomes an unbeliever? As much as I’d really love to say religion ought not to have a role in marriage institution, it does have a role. A very important one for that.
