Assalamualaikum,
I am seeking guidance regarding a potential marriage. The woman I wish to marry has a Christian Protestant father and a Hindu mother. She personally follows a monotheistic belief system, has stopped idol worshipping, and is gravitating towards Christianity. While she is currently not ready to convert to Islam, she has expressed openness to learning about Islam and possibly embracing it in the future. We have discussed raising our future children according to Islamic principles, and she already adheres to several Islamic practices, such as avoiding pork, usury, and alcohol. However, as of now, she is not ready to formally convert.
Given her background and current beliefs, is it permissible for me to marry her? Will her family background, specifically her Hindu mother, pose any issues according to Islamic teachings? Any guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
