Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
When he had relations of zina with her, did he ask her if she was a Muslim? So why is he demanding it now? Let them marry, as marriage to People of the Book is permitted, and in-sha-Allah with his good treatment and his upgrading to practice Islam, and his making big tawbah to Allah, then their child will in-sha-Allah grow to be a righteous servant of Allah. If he is not a good example of Islam, how does he expect his child to be one?
