Syria: To marry a Christian, one Druze must convert to Islam, by Francis Chartrand


A couple in Damascus in Syria is struggling to obtain legal recognition of their marriage. Tammam is Syrian Druze, Anna Christian and Armenian Orthodox. Interfaith marriages are not recognized in Syria, except for Muslim men. One must marry a Druze Druze and Orthodox Christian must marry a Christian Orthodox.

Only Muslim men are free to marry a woman of another religion.

If their marriage is legally recognized in Syria, Tammam must convert to Islam! It is the cruelty of Sharia, and the thing to the religion ™ of love ™ and tolerance ™ to its hegemony.

The couple is considering to leave Syria.

Although they do!
