The verdict of the honorable maraje’ regarding permanent marriage with women of the People of the Book (Ahlul Kitab) has been mentioned in Question 7850 (site: ). If you follow a marja’ that allows such a marriage with them, then your marriage with this woman is correct and you can divorce her if you like, but remember that according to hadiths, although divorce is permissible in Islam, it is frowned upon by Allah swt[1] and guiding someone to Islam and Shiism, despite it being hard, entails many rewards for the one who does so. Regarding these individuals, some hadiths read: “Whosoever guides such a person to the teachings of us the Ahlul-Bayt, he/she will be at our rank on the Day of Judgment.”[2] Through good Islamic behavior and conduct, and with the help of books on Islamic ideology, you can help her do further research on Islam and bring her a tendency towards it and Shiism.
