Emperor Akbar of the Moghul Empire in India had married a hindu lady for a wife - this goes back about 400 years.

Its not a 1 off that I described. Capiche tu paisano ?


I see, but this is just another example which, unfortunately, doesn't prove anything. In general, in India can a Muslim woman marry outside her religion without significant problems? That's the question, ya know.

Whether one or two have done it over the past 500 years may make an interesting story, but it doesn't prove much of anything other than that one or two have done it over the past 500 years.

"capisce paesano" is the more correct form...in italian "ch" is a hard sound...ce and ci give a very soft CHeesy sound

Muslims are always allowed to take foreign wives, and emperors can generally marry whom they please. This isn't even useful as anecdotal evidence.
