The Details of the Question
A Muslim man can marry a Christian woman. When these two people have a sexual intercourse, is it not regarded as fornication? Suppose that they had a sexual intercourse and the man made ghusl after that. What would the Christian woman do?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
A Christian woman can marry a Muslim man; fornication is not in question. Marriage with a Christian woman is no different from marriage with a Muslim woman.
After a sexual intercourse, the Muslim man makes ghusl; the Christian (non-Muslim) woman acts in accordance with the rules of her religion.
