Answer 1

What do you mean the Middle east? as in Kuwait, UAE, Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman? if so it depents Kuwait, Uae are the most educated of the lot. They repect women and treat them well. Kuwait men are more like american, both couple work, joint account, etc... Uae men well they are like sugar daddies, they work and the women spend but they love children so you would be expected to have more than5 at least. The saudi men well I would rather DIE than marry any of them. The rest well they are more traditional and we couldnt cope.
Unfortunatly the men in arab world well they are not what we all think they are, like abusive, ignorant etc...
like everywhere else there is always the good and bad, the educated and the ignorant, the poor the rich. I have many friends married to them and are very happy. Nothing is forced on the like the veil and what ever... its just exsagerated by media and you have to know which exact country you are talking about. They might all be arabs but each country has their own traditions and beliefs. If you visit Kuwait you would be shocked on how many girls walk about like americans, if you visit duabi you would think you are in heaven check them online. Saudi well you would have to keep on running the other way. Its so bad, been there once for 1 week and I would rather hang myself than go back. Plus muslims are not what you see on TV, its different like I said.
Me I would prefer to stick to my own unless I am madly deeply inlove.
1-Muslims can not have 4 wives unless, they can not marry the second unless the first is mad, ill perminantly, can have children and only with her permission he can marry the second and if the seconds like the first and so on but some muslim men screw up the words in the quran just so they can do what they want.
2-Woman does not have to convert
3- you need to be in court to divorce.
Where does this woman get her info

Answer 2

Personally, I probably wouldn't. Not because they're Muslim or anything like that, but because we come from two different worlds and would, most likely, have nothing in common.

However, I will share my friend's story with you. My friend, let's call her Sarah, is married to a Muslim man from Uzbekistan. She is a 25 year old, college educated, forward-thinking female. He is 26 and has been in this country for about 5 years. They seem to love each other immensely. However, they constantly disagree on the woman's "role" in the marriage. They have been married almost a year and I sense this feeling of doubt from her about how long it will last. She wants to be his equal and he believes that woman should bow to their man and be subservient. I have personally viewed some horrible attitude from him towards all women. He always justifies his feelings in that that's how things are run in his country. Additionally, neither one of them can tell their families about the other because both families disagree with their relationship.

In my opinion, unless you really really love each other and can see eye to eye, it isn't worth being married. In their case, they just cannot see eye to eye because of cultural/religious differences.

I hope that is along the lines of what you were looking for.

Answer 3

I'm married so my answer is hypothetical. But I would not marry a Muslim. Number #1....I'm a Christian. #2.....I'm a woman

If you're an American woman, you are accustomed to having personal rights. Muslim women (from my understanding) have very FEW personal rights and are considered chattel by their men.

I've heard too many stories of American women who fell in love with Muslim men who were in America getting an education, etc. They think they will stay in America and raise their future children here, etc. But then the men take the children over seas to visit relatives and never return the kids to mom. OR mom also goes, stays and converts (would be required) and begins living the restrictive life of a Muslim woman.

I could NOT take that for even one minute! And remember......ANY man you date is your potential husband because you don't know which man you date will be the one you fall in love with. So be CAREFUL about who you date!

Answer 4

first of all, not all muslim men are sexist. i dont know where you guys get these ideas, i guess media or something. my mother converted and married my father, a muslim man, and they have been happily married for almost 20 years. my mother respects my fathers culture(we cook arabic food, follow many arabic and muslim customs, etc) and my father respects my mothers culture. both sides of hte family get along and really care for each other and their customs. i really hope that you can learn from this and keep an open mind. im not trying to convert you, because i know its annoying when people do that. im just saying, have an open mind. for one, islam has taught me so much. second, say you fell in love with a muslim man. would you not marry him just becasue he was muslim, or would you work towards looking at your differences and either accepting them or learn more and maybe change your view on things. all im saying is to keep an open mind, since you cant really pick who to fall in love with, and i think you have the wrong idea about muslims.

Answer 5

I would never marry a Muslim man. I am pretty sure that most on here know that I am a Bible believing, God-fearing Christian by now and by my opinion I would definitely NOT marry one. I have my reasons for this. Also, used to have good conversations with a Muslim man--we ended up arguing every time we talked because we see things two different ways. Life would never be easy for someone of this culture to mix with that culture.

Answer 6

Firstly,what do you know about M.East. Then Muslim man like every other countries man l mean,do believe every thing you have been read or listened to..
Opinion ,I don't think what you know is enough to lat me tall you that up there..
Just live your life and have nice DEEP CHAT in other "SUBJECT".

Answer 7

I am a Muslim man from the Middle east, tell me what the criteria of the man you want to marry and I'll suggest who you should marry :)
I will be Honest ;)

Answer 8

ME????????????????

NO WAY, no matter where is he from or what religion he is.

NOT ANY MAN.

In case, you change the question to "muslim woman" I have no problem whatever religion or whatever place as far as she knew her position.

Answer 9

No, I can honestly say I would not and after seeing the movie"Not Without My Daughter" starring Sally Fields,which was a true story, it further confirms my opposition. I can not imagine what it would be like to be in a strange country where I don't have any rights because I am a woman.

Answer 10

OK, I assume you strictly mean Muslim and not terrorist :o) Just making sure. It is kind of sad to see the answers you already got. So, yes I would. If I love him, and he loves me and my little quirks. Why not . He would not be dating me or me him if we wouldn't have something in common. I have to admit he would have to deal with a very indepented partner, but if he is willing to; religion is not an issue.
