It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. The girl must be advised, warned of Allah, and called to repentance. It should be explained to her that her relationship with this man is illicit intercourse (sifah), not a valid marriage (). Her guardian must be firm with her, and he may shun her if that would benefit her. Disavowal should be from her action, not from her lineage, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "O Allah, I disavow myself before You from what Khalid did."
