In many romances in Europe now, one person is Muslim, and the other is
by heritage a Christian or a Jew. The Qur'an says that a Muslim male
may take a Christian or Jewish wife, though does not speak about a
Muslim woman wishing to marry a Christian or Jewish man. This has been
historically controversial, while some learned Muslim voices today
take a positive view.

Marriage of Muslim Women with Non-Muslim Men: A Positive Perspective
by Dan Hajidah
Today's Europe is increasingly Muslim. In the first few centuries of
Islam, Islam quickly spread in all three continents which then formed
the known world, Asia, Africa and Europe. Europe was a home to Muslims
very shortly after the time of the Prophet (pbuh), and it is
increasingly a home to Muslims today.
