Juridical Perspectives on Marriage in the CatholicChurch and in Islam vis-à-vis Catholic–Muslim Marriages in Nigeria

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

Die Ehe eines Katholiken mit einem Muslim bringt zwei Personen zusammen, die unterschiedliche religiöse Überzeugungen bekennen und sich von unterschiedlichen Ehegesetzen leiten lassen. Die meisten Forschungen weisen tendenziell darauf hin, dass interreligiöse Ehen mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit scheitern als Ehen, in denen die Parteien derselben religiösen Tradition angehören.
