Good day!
I have a query and hope you could share your ideas about it.
I'm a 30 yr. old single Filipina- Christian nurse working in Riyadh and my boyfriend is a 28 year old single Pakistani Muslim sales engineer. We want to get married. My queries includes the following:
1.What are the procedures required for me to be able to marry him?
2. Is converting to Islam the only way to marry him?
Thank you.

Getting married to a Muslim woman is preferable, but not mandatory. As per the Islamic rules, a man can/may marry a non-Muslim woman (Christian or Jewish). Conversion to Islam will make your marriage-life much more easier. Of course its up to both of you to decide. Final note, if a man believes that marrying a non-Muslim woman will weaken his religious believes then he is encouraged to avoid marrying a non-Muslim.
I hope that answered your concerns.
