Is it valid to marry a Christian girl without converting her to Islam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
IF ZAID WANTS TO GET MARRIED WITH CHIRISTIAN GIRL WITHOUT EMBRACING HER ISLAM IS IT VALID TO GET MARRIED WITH HER? IF NOT WHY AND GIVE US SUGGESTION WHAT WE HAVE TO DO FOR GETTING MARRIED WITH THIS GIRL?

Answer

(Fatwa: 2211/1731=H/1429)

(1) These days, it is not allowed. The detail can be seen in Fatawa Rahimiah, 2:101-104.

(2) If the girl rejects Christianity and embraces Islam true-heartedly, the conversion is not aiming at marriage only and the local scholars are satisfied with her Eiman then write the entire detail and submit the question again.
