It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a polytheist. If it is proven that the man a Muslim woman married is an infidel, then the marriage contract is invalid by consensus, and the daughter must separate from him immediately without a divorce. The family must repent to Allah for their negligence. If the man is a Muslim but commits acts of polytheism, then the Islamic ruling must be clarified to him. If he repents, the marriage may continue; otherwise, separation between them becomes obligatory. In Islam, marriage requires a guardian.
