Is it permissible to marry a newly-converted Muslim without informing family and fiancée in Pakistan?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Aslamo Alaikum, I m 26yr Pakistani Muslim Male Working in UAE since 2Years Plus, I am engaged in Pakistan with a close cousin from last 5 years. In UAE i found a Christian Lady Married with a Hindu based on a Fake Document ( Hindu male was already Married in India & He make Fake Death Certificate of his indian wife to marraige with this Christian Lady). When i come to know this Christian Lady, She is already seperated from that hindu long time ago. We make relationship & adultry, later we repented & ask Forgiveness from Allah. when i give her Quran to read, She Emrased Islam With the Will of Allah Al Mighty & started Praying Alhamdulillah. Now i want to marry with her for her better Religious & Social Life. She is 37yr Old & she knows i m engaged in Pakistan. Neither i want to leave Pakistani Fiance (becoz she loves me and waiting for me & have her hopes & future planes for me )nor this Lady. And if i tell about this lady in pakistan there is aurgument & querl Pak.Fiance will get hurt because nearly i m going to marry with her also and she is from relatives. So, My Question: 1. Is it Possible according to Haddith & Quran that i Marry with this Christian Lady ( Newly Muslim) Quiettly, without Contesting with Parents & Fiancee in pakistan for Peace? 2. Do her Hindu marriage is False already? Becoz that was not with the name of Pure Allah And Plus this lady is Muslim now. Please help me in this Serious matter. Ma-Salam.

Answer

(Fatwa: 774/580=H)

Get yourself separated immediately from the Christian girl and avoid intermingling with her. Had you sent the details of how she married and how she got separation, then we would have explained whether the separation took place or not as per Islam.

However, now also you are advised to forsake the intention of marrying a Christian girl. You should perform nikah with the Muslim fianc?e and start living with her. Then at some other occasion, when the local Ulama are satisfied with the imaan of the Christian girl you will be informed of Shariah ruling about the nikah.
