The answer

The marriage of a Muslim woman to a disbeliever (kafir) is invalid by scholarly consensus, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not marry [your women] to idolaters until they believe." The ruling on such a marriage is that of adultery (zina), and separation between the two parties is obligatory. Registering this marriage is aiding in disobedience, based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate not in sin and aggression." It is obligatory for those who register these contracts to instruct that they be re-executed after the man embraces Islam; otherwise, their registration is impermissible. Those who have done so must repent and not return to it.
