A Saudi Influencer received massive backlash after she shared a video on her social media of her marriage to a Christian American man.

The incident sparked a controversy because Muslim women are forbidden to marry men from different faiths.

The Saudi bride appeared in the video, dressed in a short white wedding dress, making vows to her husband, who makes his vows in Arabic as she and the guests laugh.

During his vows, the husband says that the secret of their love is the difference in cultures and backgrounds, saying: “Some people believe that they have to be from the same background or culture or belong to the same religion, but our love is stronger than anything in the world.”

Reactions of social media users to the controversial video were mostly negative, which many arguing that civil marriage is forbidden in Islam, and therefore is not legal.

Translation: “False marriage.. Allah will never bless this marriage, because a Muslim woman can never marry a Christian man, it’s as if she’s just having an affair.”

Translation: “Poor guy, he’s now stuck with her. “You should have made him convert to Islam before you married him.. You have just committed an unforgivable sin.”

On the other hand, some social media users argued that the couple have personal freedom, and that the people who are attacking them do not have the right to patronize them or control their lives.

Translation: “You seem truly happy, unlike marriages in the Middle East where criminals get to marry women only to torture them and then cheat on them. Live your life, I wish you a happy one.”
