Letter: Marry out
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PROFESSOR Eileen Barker of the London School of Economics says that a Royal Marriage to a Muslim or Hindu would delight the "ethnic group concerned" ("Monarch may marry out of C of E", 8 March). Not necessarily. Prince William would need to convert for an Islamic wife to be acceptable under our laws - the marriage could not be "multi-faith". No doubt he could find a beautiful, intelligent partner among 150,000 more anglicised polytheistic Hindus, but a wedding ceremony regarded by virtually everyone else in Britain as idolatrous would presumably best be avoided by the hereditary head of state.
