the story is like this, Im from iran and i have a sister who is only 20 years old , for summer vacation we traveled to singapore and we met a group of koreans over there, i dont know how it happend that my sis got to know a guy from that group and they became so close to eachother just in a week eventhough the korean guy couldnt speak english that well,,after we left singapore to thailand i thought its over but it was the bigining coz that guy was chasing after my sis to thailand until we left for Iran, i never saw my sis like that,, i was realy against her because i think its really doesnt make any sense, two totally different cultures , im not so religoues but after all we are muslim and he was mixture of budhism and christian , anyway they are still in touch and the guy asked my sis for marriage recently and she is really lost and doesnt know wat to do, my mom and dad told her that its her right to decide about her own future but i really think that is a big mistake,

Congratulations to your parents. Muslims that are that open and willing tolet a young woman make a choice like that need to be heard about around the world.
Second I would look into the culture if I were her and plan on a long dating - engagement due to language / culture issues. Some cultures do not divorce easily as you know being Muslim.
Love is Love and here in America we marry into different races/cultures all the time

My boyfriend is from Iran and his dad is married to an English woman and i hope one day I will be married to him, I think it is great to have a mix of cultures and so long as the are both tolerant of each others religion then it will be great for them both and for you to experience some of their culture. The only problems come if there is a corrupt or extremist government which may be against this type of marriage so be careful, but I think that if they are in love then nothing should come between them. It is only my opinion, maybe you should talk to your sister and tell her how you are feeling and what your concerns are, I am sure she will be able to tell you how she feels and will understand your concern for her.
Good luck and hope whatever happens it turns out fine. :)

It would be better if they could get to know each other more. In this situation, there are a lot of unknowns. Is he an abusive person? What kind of friends does he have? Is he respected? Is he respectable?
Granted, your sister is an adult - or almost (by U.S. standards) and can make up her own mind. But, in this case, she should be extremely cautious.
Maybe it will turn out to be the best thing your sister ever did but you should caution her to think with her head & not her heart.
Good luck - I hope it all works out for the best.

It really is up to them.. I got married to my Tunisian boyfriend he is muslim and I dont follow any religion at all.. yes it can be difficult but we are all human beings at the end of the day.. love knows no boundaries sometimes, only she can decide if it is wat she really wants but it will require a lot of communication to make it work which isn't easy if you cant speak the same language and we have had a lot of problems because of that. However it CAN work if they really love each other. Tell her she needs to get to know him more cos she can't possibly know if they are compatible if she hasn't spent enough time with him. I spent one year before getting married and it was NOT enough!

She should marry who ever she wants, just as long as she is happy! Don't annoy her about your religion, because that whole thing gets irritating after a while. If you really love your sister you'll let her be happy about marrying the guy.

I think an important point in your question is "she is really lost and does not know what to do" even though "mom and dad told her it is her right to decide about her own future"
Anyone who does not Know that they want to marry someone.... Shouldn't. She may know later... but for now... more time.

Whether you think it is a mistake or not, you should be there for her. As long as your parents are in agreement, you should not interfere. Let her make her own decision as this has nothing to do with you.

It's really not for you to decide. But to be honest, I think if she said yes, she'd be rushing into it. How much does she know this person anyway? But it's her decision to make.
