Baha’is are permitted to marry non-believers but they should
insist on observing the Baha’i marriage ceremony and should also not object if
their non-Baha’i partner wishes to observe the marriage ceremony of his or her
particular religion. Civil marriage is generally practised amongst the Western
believers, but in most of the East it is unknown.
