I am a practicing Catholic and have been widowed for almost 6 years. I wan to marry a woman who lives in another country and is Muslim. She says she will not become a Catholic. Additionally, she has been married and divorced twice. Her first marriage was on her 14th birthday, her husband was abusive and unfaithful, and they have a daughter who lives with the ex-husband. Her second marriage was to a man who, it turns out, already had a wife and child. It seems both of her marriages are candidates for annulment, given the circumstances. However, the process of annulment could be complex since she lives in a Muslim country. I would marry her and live as “brother and sister” if that were the only way I could remain in good standing with the Church, but I would prefer not to. Any thoughts (other then that I must be nuts; I’ve heard that one and I’m pretty sure I am not.) Thank you.
