The answer

It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a chaste Christian woman, based on the Almighty's saying: (and the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those who were given the Scripture before you) Al-Ma'idah/5. The husband must invite her to Islam, and respond to her greetings with "wa alaikum assalam" if she greets clearly. The relationship between a man and an unmarriageable woman should either be with the intention of marriage or severed, to avoid temptation and forbidden شرعية matters.
