Question:
Does Allah forgive a Muslim person if he/she willingly allows his/her daughter marry a non- Muslim, and also the the person goes to the court as a witness to the marriage?
Answer:
Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But God beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise. (al-Baqarah 2:221)
Even if her guardian goes to court as a witness, the marriage is not recognised in Islam, and he will only be an abettor to her living in sin. May Allah protect you and your family from error.
