He has always believed in the Oneness of Allah, the prophets, prophet Muhammad (sws), all the tenets of Islam, took Islamic studies at Yale University, and really respects Islam. In order to marry him my family will only allow it if he converts which would be the traditional way of doing things and my fiancé is very happy to do so, BUT, it will come at a great price. His family has said that they will disown him, cut him off from the community, keep no interaction with him and remove him from their will and inheritance. I know that a man can not be happy without the support and love of his parents and siblings, which is why I am thinking of not asking him to convert given the harsh treatment from his family and the misery it will impose on us as a result. Even though he has agreed to convert, I don't know if it will be in the interest of our marriage and his sanity. My family can not accept anything otherwise. In light of the above situation, my question to you is that would it be haram for me to marry him if he didn't convert to avoid the misery and cruelty from his family? We have already decided that the children if any would be Muslims.
