The marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim is forbidden by Islamic law, according to the Quran, , 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.
