Allah says in the Qu'ran: >الزَّانِي لَا يَنكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that has been made unlawful to the believers. > [[Verse 24:3](https://quran.com/24/3)] In [this answer](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/8622/relationship-and-sex-between-a-muslim-woman-and-non-muslim-man) , user 2350 stated (based on the above verse): > Basically Muslim are not permitted to marry a polytheist nor an adulterer, otherwise he/she will be considered as the same. That means that you cannot get married to a polytheist. Nowadays, most Christians believe in Trinity, which we say is polytheism. **Does that mean marrying Christians is haram even though the Quran allows marriage to Christians?** *This is not a duplicate of this because the question is about marrying non-chaste people of the book while my question is about marrying any Christian, be she chaste or not.*
