The answer

The questioner did not specify the religion of the woman who holds the corrupt belief. Her situation falls into one of three possibilities:

1. If she is Muslim: It is not permissible to marry her, because she is an apostate for denying the attributes of the Creator. 2. If she is non-Muslim and not from the People of the Book (a polytheist): It is not permissible to marry her, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe." 3. If she is from the People of the Book: If she follows her distorted religion: It is permissible to marry her, because their distorted religions contain such alterations. If she does not adhere to her false religion: It is not permissible to marry her, because she is considered an apostate and is deemed a polytheist.
