Answer
1. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man even though he may be a Christian or Jew. The man must first accept Islam, then he may marry you.
2. Alhamdulillah, your du?aa is a reflection of your Imaan and resentment for sins.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
