A Christian who marries an unbeliever is not exemplary and lacks real appreciation for God’s gift of marriage. Entering such a union after baptism can cost one some privileges among God’s people.
وَبِمَا أَنَّ مُتَطَلَّبَاتِ ٱلْكِتَابِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ وَاضِحَةٌ ،‏ لَا يَنْبَغِي ٱخْتِلَاقُ ٱلْأَعْذَارِ لِعَدَمِ ٱتِّبَاعِهَا .‏
