Can't add much to the above. The daughter of a very good (devout Catholic!) friend of mine married a Muslim and converted. She's not daft: she was in her mid-20s, with a masters degree. It was probably the lure of the exotic, combined with a flight from the stifling orthodoxy of her parents' faith - to which they had incidentally converted as adults.
She moved into her in-laws' house, as one does.
The marriage was over in 6 months.
She's no longer a Muslim.
