I would be okay with it as long as their children are going to be raised Catholic and she remains Catholic.
 
Bring him to Christ, or at least be Christ to him and pray that she doesn’t reject the relationship and Church God gave her in exchange for something else.

Hmmm. She believes Jesus (as a Baptised and Confirmed Catholic) is only way to Heaven and the Judge of Mankind and the Eucharist is the real body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Likely convert him first.

I will must likely be banned from this forum for saying this but it has to be said! I would do anything in my power to prevent him taking her to a Muslim country. Too many stories about the bad things that happen when to occurs. i.e. Betty Mahmoody
 
I would pray, offer sacrifices, and look for opportunities to evangelize.

Mixed religious marriages are not ideal, although I’m sure some very holy and wonderful people are making the most of an at least somewhat difficult situation.

Then that would be her choice. I wouldn’t be thrilled about it, and would pray that she reconsider. But in the end we have free will, and if her free will leads her astray so be it. My own free will led me astray from Christianity for a while and I came back. I’d pray the same for her.

My more immediate earthly concern would be what type of Islam she and her husband were practicing. If they’re Americanized Muslims like most of the ones I’ve known IRL (ie: you couldn’t really tell they were Muslim unless you asked or were really paying attention) that would be far different than say if my daughter showed up wearing a niqab one day and announced they’re moving back to his home country of Saudi Arabia. If they were straying toward the latter I’d definitely speak up and voice my concerns to her.

I think it would be more interesting if my son married a Muslim… He’s a Baha’i.🙂

There’s nothing that would prevent a Baha’i from marrying a Muslim except the couples willingness to marry, the permission of living parents, and their willingness to abide by the will of God.
 
Oh I almost forgot there’s one more qualification for a Baha’i marriage the couple must be at least fifteen years of age… and given all civil law qualifications are met the marriage can occur!
 
I would be very, very disappointed. Among all the religions, if she must marry a non-Catholic, he sbould not be a Muslim. Not for any other reason but for the fact that she would be required to convert to Islam, if she marries a Muslim. I cannot have that for it means to reject my God. I don’t mind mixed marriage as long as she gets to keep her God.
