well i know a girl who is 4 years old. her dad is Muslim n her is mom converted from christian to Muslim . now they dont live with each other so the girl lives with her dad n visits her mom on every weekend.so when she go to her mom's house she eats pig n when she is wit her dad, she eats halal food. so the girl doesnt kno wat is her religion.
in these types of marriages, it gets really hard for the children afterwards

There is nothing wrong with changing religion, i think that it is the person's choice. I am a Hindhu, married to a Muslim, my mother was a catholic, Dad, a Hindhu and we all lived together with no problems. Our children knew all three religions and they made their choice of which one they wanted to follow but at the same time participated in all whenever we have any prayers, koranic readings or poojas.

In Islam, men and women can only marry a person who has fully converted and devoted themselves to Islam when they convert. For men, the woman can convert after marriage too because the children are deemed to follow their father's religion if he's Muslim. For women, the man has to be converted before they marry because when a woman gives birth, her children should be raised Muslim and if the man has already converted and wholly converted with his heart, the children will follow him. Otherwise, if not, the marriage is deemed null and void according to Islamic Law (Shariah).
That being said, first of all, I believe that everything happens for a reason and God has made somebody for everyone....but we're given the choice to choose which path to follow. If Muslims want to marry people into other religions, they're not really following Islam and their children may or may not be Muslim. It's a big issue for Muslims that they have children who also follow Islam. However, if they are meant to marry this one person who is of another religion, then it'll happen no matter what.
Also, the Quran says that we can marry People of the Book, meaning Christians and Jews only, but the only catch is that they have to convert when they get married.
It's totally hard for people to adapt to a different religion - I've had some friends who got married into other religions and their parents were okay with it - and I also know people who married into different religions and cultures and the children were confused as to what to follow and what traditions they were to supposed to do. They accept both faiths and cultures but it's hard for them to explain when they have their own children, and it keeps going on and on.
Pick up the Quran with English Translation - everything I've written here whether you like reading it or not is all written in there.
At the end of the day, I personally would only marry a Muslim (and someone Indian or Paki) because I want the religion to keep going throughout the generations. But if you want to marry someone who isn't Muslim or who is, it's totally up to you.
Sorry if anything I said offended anyone....I just wanted to clarify some stuff about our religion and marriage.
