The answer

If a woman is a non-scriptural disbeliever, it is not permissible to marry her, according to the Almighty's saying: "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe" and "And do not hold on to the bonds of disbelieving women." However, if she is a chaste woman of the People of the Book, it is permissible to marry her. But if the parents object, their obedience is obligatory, unless it conflicts with an overriding interest, such as the fear of temptation. Some scholars have disliked marriage to a woman of the People of the Book, as she may affect the children in their religion and morals.
