I can't tell you that much about what Islamic law says, but I can tell you that in practice, people often change their religion to Islam for marital reasons. I know of a man in an Arabic country who wanted to divorce his wife, but the Catholic church would not allow him to do such. So, the man changed his official religion to Islam so that he could divorce his wife and remarry. In Israel, two people must be of the same official religion in order to marry. People often change their official religion to Islam so that they can marry. They majority are Jewish women who marry Moslem men.
