What is the ruling on marrying a man who has homosexual tendencies?
If a man controls himself and his abnormal sexual urges do not drive him to commit forbidden acts, then there is no objection to marrying him. However, if these urges lead to the commission of immoral acts, then he should not be accepted as a husband because he is not pleasing in religion and character, in accordance with the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "If someone whose character and religion you are pleased with comes to you, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and widespread corruption." For a man in such a state, a woman will usually not find happiness with him, because he who neglects his religion will be even more neglectful of other things.
