Question: Can a Qadiani woman after converting to Sunni, marry a Sunni man? If yes, does her parents also need to convert to Sunni too? And why are people in fear when only the girl convert to Sunni not her parents?

Answer: If a woman converts to (Sunni) i.e become a Muslim sincerely by heart and action then a Muslim man can marry her without her parents converting to Islam. It is not lazim (obligatory) for parents to convert in order her to get married to a Sunni man though it would be good if they did. Many of the companions converted to Islam whilst their parents did not convert at the same time or did not convert at all. As for the people may be in fear when only the girl converts to Sunni and not her parents is due to the fact that she might have  parental influence upon her which might harm the relationship between both husband and wife or family. Wallahu A`laam.
