Is it forbidden to marry a Muslim Indonesian maid?

The legally recognized competence is that of religion, based on the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you," and the Hadith: "A woman is married for four reasons... so choose the religious woman, and you will prosper."

Therefore, there is no impediment to your marriage to a Muslim woman of religion and good character, in the presence of her guardian and two just witnesses. Her being a domestic worker does not affect this.

Our advice is that you try to convince your family. If they insist on refusing, then it is preferable to marry someone else to preserve your relationship with them.
