Question

I am a divorced Muslim woman has married a divorced Christian man. My family is against our union. How can I make amends without losing my husband?

Answer

Your marriage to this man is invalid. You will just have to accept that marriage to a non-Muslim is prohibited.

If he accepts Islam, you may marry him otherwise this union is an adulterous union.
