In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
It is permissible to marry a hindu girl if she genuinely accepts Islam before the marriage.1 It is also important to consider the implications of marrying such a woman. We advise you to seek the wise counsel of appropriate people and also make istikhara before committing to marriage.
