Well I m only going to talk about the legality of this According Muslim law father / guardian has a say in his child marriages but creating any sort of pressure be it physical or mental like if u love me beta u have to marry him is sin .. Marriages done under such pressure are null and void .. In a Hadith a women comes to prophet Mohammed peace be upon him and complains that she was forced to marry by her father . Prophet Mohammed condemn the act and said such a marriage is null and void she need not say in it stay in it .. She can seek an annulment "http://islamqa.info/en/47439 . be mind it even if she is married for making her avoid teen sex and pregnancy etc she has right to annul it when she is adult !!

Transgender marriage and the law?
So, I've been dating a non-op transwoman for a few months(I'm a non-tg male, btw) and wanted to know what current American laws state on marriage for couples like us. I know Mass. has legal gay marriage, so can a man and transsexual woman marry there legally? Where would that marriage be recognized elsewhere? Are there other states that allow transgender persons to marry someone who is of a sex that they were mislabeled at birth as?
Can a Muslim girl marry a Hindu guy without converting to Islam?
Strictly speaking, neither Hinduism nor Islam would permit such a scenario. However, that doesn't mean there are some cases that fail to follow such circumstances.One of my friends, who is Christian, introduced me to one of his friends. I can't recall the name, it was tricky and it was almost ten years ago. This was a male Hindu, who was married to a female Muslim. That reason for not recalling the husband's name also applies to the wife. I was shocked to see that. They told me that they met in India, and moved to the United States so that they can do it (get married) without any of the government interfering. They left their families and proceeded to make a new life in my home nation. They both fight against different forms of oppression together (whether or not they can relate to it), and demonstrate the wonders of the modern USA. The Hindu husband is vegetarian, so all of what he eats as not a problem for his wife. The wife copes by cooking her meats separate from the vegetables. The husband also doesn't use any sort of intoxicant, including alcohol, so there is minimal conflict there. The only thing that flares up conflict among either society, is the usual opposition towards the other's faith (although it rarely happens between the spouses).Always keep in mind, that just because a faith or any of its respective scriptures prohibit something, doesn't mean that people will abide by it word for word.
Can my grandfather from Iran, who has a Green Card, come to the US? He has not been in the US for 7 years.
It sounds like your grandfather will be judged to have abandoned his residency. This page describes the relevant criteria:Maintaining Permanent ResidenceI am not a lawyer, so I’m not clear on the next question - if you have been judged to have abandoned your permanent residence, can you enter the US on another visa classification. I suspect it is possible but not straightforward.
Is it acceptable to convert to Islam for the sake of marriage?
There are many facets to this question, and no single answer would do.First, it is not uncommon for a man to take the shahadah, shortly before or even at the marriage ceremony. For Muslims living in the west, this has become commonplace. When a person is repeating the words after you, it is not possible to look inside his heart and see what the words mean to him- on that issue things were no different 1400 years ago. In any case, ultimately it would be up to the couple, as it is in other religions.A general statement concerning the Shahadah:One converts to Islam by taking the "shahadah". Shahadah goes like this, "I bear witness that there is no god by Allah, Subhana wa Ta'alah; and I bear witness that (Prophet) Mohammad was Allah's servant and His Messenger to mankind".Now, what do those words say! What does it mean when someone says, "I bear witness..." In a court of law, a declaration that begins with those words means something? Testimony concerning one's belief in Allah and His Messenger, should be with an expression/indication of sincerity. Marriage ceremony is a solemn occasion - every promise made, whether spoken or unspoken, must come from one's heart and soul. Every word spoken must mean something. Belief is paramount, practice often takes time as long as the person keeps making an effort.I do realize that there are all kinds of Muslims in the world; including those who have never stood in prayer in years, even decades. I also believe that a Muslim is one who declares him/herself to be a Muslim. Nobody can look inside a person's heart and measure the strength of belief therein. When a person raises one's hand and takes the shahadah, that person becomes a Muslim, must be treated as a Muslim, and it is not up to anyone to doubt his/her sincerity. Islam is between a person and his God.What might be problematic is when someone declares or even indicates beforehand that he/she will utter the words - but he/she does not fully subscribe to the teaching. When it comes to following those teachings - a lot of Muslims appear to be struggling with that.
