I want to marry a Muslim man. Am I allowed to re-marry while the  divorce process has not yet been finalized?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>If you were living in an Islamic State where  Islam is truly in practice the marriage with the atheist would have  been invalidated by the court at the time he embraced atheism. However,  in your country you have to obey the laws. This issue is not only  religious but also social therefore you have to wait for the conclusion  of divorce before you can marry a Muslim man. It would create legal and  social problems and would not be in line of the spirit of the Islamic  law if you married without getting divorced. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-14<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6106\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a married woman.
