The idealogy of Islam and the west surely conflict in the matter of marriages. Muslim traditions demand full involvement, loyalty and faithfulness from partners. Ofcourse, such things can be found in western cultures also, but on the whole the free mixing of men and women usually results in infidelity or easy divorces because choice is made very easy. Well, one may objcect upon muslim approach which tend to restrict the unnecessary mixing of genders, but still for a true muslim husband easy manners of ladies towards other men will remain a difficult theing to put up with. You must also consider the importance of family in Islam. Anything which is inimical to the existence of family is either checked or disapproved. So the attempts in Islamic tradition to keep the family stable are real. Anything which unnecessarily tests one's integrity is checked. That's why you see less mixing of genders in islamic countries. Can western ladies go with this approach?

Ask yourself this.... do you believe in this woman? If she is an ethical person, a good decant woman,... the kind you would LIKE to marry; odds are she will stay faithful. I find the truth is this; if you put a leash on something, it wants to get off the leash. If you really love her, respect HER ways, and she will do the same for you.

I am quite sure western ladies can love and marry a Muslim man, but the bigger question is will it work? I completely agree that the attitudes and belief systems are very different and would make it extremely hard for a marriage of this type. If you take a typical western female, who has been brought up to be a strong, independent person with freedoms and mixed them with a typical Islamic man who felt she should behave in Islamic ways, then you have a recipe for disaster. If, however, one or both people in the theoretical marriage is pliable and able to change to become part of the others culture, then it could work. But back to the question, if you are talking about the stereotypical western female and Muslim man, I do not believe it can work. The cultures are simply too different, and this does not mean one is better than the other, it simply means they are too different.

While I am sure that some western ladies can appreciate what appears as very pro family design of tradition in the islamic way of life. Which by the way I think is one of the more beautiful sides of islam.
I am sure they would be concerned with islamic laws that are still in place in some countries that would require four witnesses to prove that a man has raped her. I am also sure that they would be extremely concerned that if they where raped and spoke up about it and failed to prove that they were raped, they would be found guilty of adultery and sentenced to death via stoning. In countries where it is not that extreme, it is still very difficult to prove she was raped, due to social norms and islamic traditions.
On top of all that if she converts to islam and then decides she does not agree with the teachings, she will at the very least be disowned if not killed.

I would say no...to us these measures are extreme. Although the intentions are good and may produce results in that country, it isn't what we are comfortable with here.
Women enjoy their freedom here. I can stay faithfull to my man, raise my chidren well, and still be able to converse with other men in social situation without giving into sexual temptations.
I enjoy outdoor activities and I meet lots of people (male and female) everyday and it's a wonderful thing!
A woman's spirit is free and cheerful, and amazing. If you keep her locked up in a box, or covered up you will break her spirit I think. I wonder how many Muslim women are truly happy in their lives?
I also wonder if they would answer this question honestly, or if they would be too fearful? It seems like Muslim women are oppressed to an extent, nothing I am interested in at all.
I hope you consider my opinion-even thought I am female-thank you

this is because of the ordinary, yet hushed-up truth of Muslim male scarcity. See, the very truth of the remember is that Muslim women outnumber Muslim adult males by using about 4:a million, making plural marriages a need to the propagation of the individuals of the religion. the reason why there are so few adult males is, for sure, because of Shiite vs. Sunni killing, and thanks to suicide bombings, the fatalities of which very much disproportionately influence adult males.

there are women in the western world are in a few, who are wanting a complete submission in their marriage. some are christian upbringing, and that they are dressed as ladies. They have been trained by both of their parents to serve her future husband as God has permitted to love, honour, and obey their husband. And that they see and worship as God's gift was given to them.
It is hard to give you answers of most women in America fear the Islamic countries(Christians upbringing) fear of all the rumors of honour killings of women, and to live in those countries would be difficult for American women to live, after living in a country of freedom!
THere are alot of muslims and christians married here in America, both partners are happy, confused who is God, and yet they are very stable stronghold marriage!
