On the other hand no one should force one's own convictions on another
(Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 222)
There will be occasions where a Baha'i marries an atheist. The atheist is
required to say 'We will all, verily, abide by the will of God.' Just
wondering how to see this in light of the above. It may not be forcing our
convictions on them, but they are required to say a marriage vow they don't
even agree with. I assume the marriage is still valid if, after the vow, an
atheist says 'Assuming He exists'.
