Do you have to be married in to Judaism in order to be considered a convert?

-Tsukiyo-Moon Maiden Do you have to be married in to Judaism in order to be considered a convert? No. There are lots of unmarried Jewish converts and lots of people who married into Judasim who aren't converts. One has essentially nothing to do with the other.

No. There are lots of unmarried Jewish converts and lots of people who married into Judasim who aren't converts. One has essentially nothing to do with the other. I figured as much a girl in LD said that in order to convert you need to marry in. I figured that was just the Hasidic Jews that did that..

You just got trolled/mislead by someone with inacurate information.

You just got trolled/mislead by someone with inacurate information. Well she claimed that her friend or neighbor is a Rabbi and told her that. But when she said she'd give me his phone number I immediately knew she was lying. -.- Actually I knew when she even said that you had to be married to be a jew that she was lying. Conversion is one of the few things I know about Judaism. I just wanted to clarify.

In fact it's probably the opposite. You should convert for you, not who you are marrying. I can't image that even the Chasids would rather you convert for an insincere reason than have an interfaith marriage.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. A convert should not come to convert for financial gain, to increase social standing, or to marry a Jew. You convert only for your own sake, for the purpose of binding yourself to the mitzvot.
After conversion, though, you're bound to endogamy ("marrying within," that is, marrying a fellow Jew), if you marry at all. A woman isn't required to marry or to have children.
However, a Jewish man IS required to marry and have children if he is able, so if you marry a Jewish man who hasn't yet had children, make sure you want to have them yourself.
