Abstract
Marriage is an essential institution of society. The terms ‘interfaith marriage’ stand for marital union between followers of different religions or faith. The purpose of this research is to address the issue related to the practicability of interfaith marriage in Islam and its impact on society. Different methodologies in the form of arguments are given in support of and against interfaith marriages while opinions of eminent jurists are consulted based on rulings of Shariah. The concerns on the issue of interfaith marriages are answered by supporting evidences from Quran, Sunnah and practice of Companions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). While the cross arguments are based on secondary sources of Islamic Law, Islamic Legal maxims (Qawaid al fiqhia) and objectives of Shariah. The effects of such marriages on society and the marital relations is also an important part of this research and it is suggested that new paradigms for how to reconcile different faiths should be formulated in order to prevent such problems in future
