Question
A Christian woman embraced, not her husband. What is the state of their marriage? What should the woman now do?
Answer
If the Christian woman has embraced Islam, but her husband does not, then their marriage terminates and becomes null and void. The woman will be free to marry a Muslim man after having completed iddat. She should immediately separate herself from him. He is no longer her husband. If both embrace Islam together, their former marriage will be regarded as valid.
