It is a fact that under common Islamic marriage laws - taken from the Hadiths (sayings attributed to the prophet), Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Tafssir (interpretation of the Quran), and of course the Quran - that while a Muslim man may take a non Muslim wife from the Christians or Jews (any children must be brought up as Muslims), no Muslim woman can marry a non Muslim man ... in fact only Tunisia legally allows such marriages in the Muslim world (although in reality families wouldn't).
The reasons for this are a mixture of male chauvinism in a patriarchal Islamic society, and because a woman can't legally make such decisions under Sharia law i.e. Her male relatives father or brothers etc make the decision as to who she marries, and therefore it won't be a non Muslim.
