What is the ruling on a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim man, while she hopes for his conversion to Islam after marriage, claims that there are no suitable Muslim men available, and threatens to deviate or live in hardship?

The marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim is forbidden by Islamic law, according to the Quran, Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Such a marriage is void and does not entail the legal effects of a valid marriage. Any children from such a union are illegitimate, and the hope of the husband converting to Islam does not alter this ruling.
