Question
If only the wife accepts Islam, not the husband, what is the status of their marriage?
Answer
When a non-Muslim woman embraces Islam, and the husband refuses, the marriage terminates. She will have to separate herself from him. After the Iddat, which is a period of three menstruation cycles, she will be free to marry any Muslim.
