From the 10TV article:

"University Bible Fellowship said it didn't have specifics about Hayman's claim, but said he may have been advised against marrying his fiance because she didn't share the same mission as UBF or wasn't a Christian."

This should raise the hackles of anyone who reads it. It is presented by UBF's spokesperson as an understandable practice from UBF's point of view. Sorry, UBF spokesperson, that is not an understandable practice; most would call it a cultic practice.
