Filipino Actress-host Mariel Rodriguez said on Monday May 10, 2011 she is setting aside her dream to be married inside a Catholic Church because she don’t want to be converted to Islam religion.

According to Arcbishop Oscar Cruz, “Rodriguez cannot marry Robin Padilla and hold Catholic rites because her Muslim husband is practicing polygamy.”

“It’s not the reason ‘not to marry’. But a Catholic believer who is to marry one woman or one man, and when a woman will marry to a man who have a belief of marrying more than one, three or even four women, the contract of marriage is null and void because it is contradicted to the Holy Bible and to the Catholic Church that there should only one woman or one man to be married. It is not allowed to her to marry a man whose belief is one man equals to four women. Muslims having such a belief, Cruz told Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) in previous interview.

Rodriguez said during the interview with SNN that she won’t convert to Islam religion just to get married.

“HINDI, HINDI WALANG GANOON. NAGAWA NA NAMIN YUNG MUSLIM RITE. KUNG MAGKO-CONVERT AKO DAHIL YUN SA PANINIWALA AT HINDI DOON,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said, that they have decided with Padilla not think about having a church wedding.

“I don’t mind it. It’s OK, I don’t think it anymore,” she said.

“We don’t even talk about it anymore, those sad situations; we don’t want to entertain those negative sides. I love you forever babe,” Rodriguez added.
