I thought I was the only one who asked the question a long time ago..... but I've been noticing in other forums.... that women are married to non-muslim men, and are unable to revert unless they get a divorce.
What I don't find reasonable..... is that there are women.... who really want to take their shahada..... and they can't..... why break up a family and mess up kid's lives?
I'm sure people can go on living their lives and that God knows what's in their hearts... but reading something today reminded me of how I felt. That was actually the reason I decided to forget about reverting..... because it's never going to be possible.
I'm married to a Catholic man, there is now way in heaven or earth he would be a muslim.... he hates religion... and he has deeper negetive feelings for muslims. I have two small children, 5, and 3. Divorce is the only way? Why would a whole family be broken up like that?
There are women all around the world who have this problem. But I have to ask a question.....
If I said that I wanted to make shahada right now..... what would you say? No, I'm sorry you have to go to hell because you won't get a divorce? Would anyone refuse me or any Christian married woman for that matter?
