D Correct answer
Explanation

Under Muslim law, a marriage between a Muslim male and a Christian female (Kitabiya - 'people of the book') is considered valid. Muslim law permits Muslim men to marry women from Ahl-e-Kitab (people with revealed scriptures like Christians and Jews), though the marriage is irregular (Faskh) if the wife does not eventually convert to Islam. However, the marriage is not void ab initio.
