"If a Bahá'í marries a non-Baha'i who wishes to have the
religious ceremony of his own sect carried out, it must be quite
clear that, first, the Bahá'í partner is understood to be a Bahá'í

the marriage through having his or her religious ceremony; and
second, the ceremony must be of a nature which does not commit
the Bahá'í to any declaration of faith in a religion other

"The Bahá'í should insist on having the Bahá'í ceremony
carried out before or after the non-Baha'i one, on the same
day."
