I really don't understand how people who are reasonably devout followers of different religions ever end up together. Almost all of them make it against the rules or at least extremely problematic. Why would you marry someone that your religion says is going to hell because they don't believe what you do? And if you do it anyway, why would you stay in that religion? Makes no sense.

as someone from a mixed marriage, I can say: (1.) The heart does what the heart wants; (2.) There can be reasons political, economic, for family, etc.

It's because "I can fix them"

Turns out most humans just do things.

Do you realize you have just singlehandedly explained the Israel-Hamas situation and we can all stop arguing and pretending to be experts about it?

Everyone deals with their religion differently

When I was a somewhat devout JW (people often say Jehovah Witness as a noun, but that always bugged me grammatically since properly stated it should be "Witness of Jehovah), I told a nonJW Christian friend that I couldn't be "unevenly yoked with unbelievers." She (who wasn't interested in me, she was trying to matchmake me with a mutual friend) got offended since we should all have been Christians and she felt I was calling her an unbeliever.

Certain denominations have so very different beliefs that if followed to their logical conclusions they shouldn't be able to have relationships, but so many people bend the rules. I fortunately am no longer captive to that ideology, though I do think I'm permanently damaged. Still, not as damaged as people who went through sexual abuse. My stuff is mostly mental and will probably just mean I'll never have a romantic relationship.

Maybe he married her, instead of the other way around.

Turns out people don't always follow every single rule their religion has.
