In Syria, Christian couples face unseen costs due to their faith. For those who have converted to Christianity, legal consequences can affect personal areas of life. A Syrian couple, Hani and Mariam, exemplify this challenge.

Hani is a Christian, and Mariam, a former Muslim, converted to Christianity. The couple's marriage is not registered with the government due to Syria's personal status laws. These laws prohibit a Muslim woman from marrying a Christian man.

As a result, Hani and Mariam have kept their marriage a secret for decades, fearing persecution from their family. Further details about their story and the challenges faced by Christian couples in Syria are available from Mission Network News.
