Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to clarify the legal implications of the marriage contract when both spouses—or only one of them—convert to Islam. It also seeks to outline the procedures followed in such cases and to determine the type of marital separation that takes place when one spouse refuses to embrace Islam.

Methods: The study adopted both the inductive method and the comparative dialogical method. It examined the views of Muslim jurists on the relevant issues and compared them to identify the stronger opinion. It also compared the jurists’ positions with the stipulations of the Jordanian Personal Status Law.

Results: The marriage contract remains valid if both non-Muslim spouses convert to Islam together. It also remains valid if only the husband converts to Islam and his wife is from the People of the Book. However, the contract is annulled if the husband converts to Islam and his wife is not from the People of the Book. Likewise, the contract is annulled if the wife converts to Islam and her husband rejects Islam after being invited to accept it.

Conclusion: The study concludes that the marriage contract remains valid when both spouses convert to Islam, or when only the husband converts, and his wife is from the People of the Book. However, separation becomes necessary if the husband converts and his wife is not from the People of the Book, or if the wife converts and her husband refuses Islam. In such cases, separation is considered an annulment (faskh), not a divorce
