      People are allowed to break the rules of their own religion at their convenience but other people must always abide by those rules. “It’s ok when I do it”, so to speak.

        there is certainly too much of this these days. I can only speak for myself but I try to live my interaction with others in a more libertarian manner, while trying to hold high moral standards for myself, but I fail regularly. I particularly struggle with attempting to balance what I believe my religion teaches regarding raising my family with the faith, while still respecting their rights and autonomy as individuals.

          I don’t claim to be an Islamic scholar in the least bit, but is there not a different case if a woman converts after her marriage, for example?

            I think you’re underestimating just how little rights women have in islam. Like it is one the most misogynistic and anti-women force in human history. It really is that extreme, and the more you look into it the worse it gets. Men get all the rights, privileges, and exceptions in islam, women barely get anything at all.

        If by “the biggest group in her religion” you are referring to the Catholic Church, that’s not true. While it certainly would be a mortal sin, really all of Protestantism is heretical, but the Chruch does not condemn any individual to hell. In fact, as St. John Paul the Great tells us “We know that hell exists because Jesus told us it does, but we don’t know for sure if anyone is there” If she was unrepentant prior to her death, she would likely spend some time in purgatory, but I suspect less time than I will spend in purgatory, as I should know better to avoid serious sin than she does based on her raisin’.
