How acceptable is it for a western man to date and eventually marry a arab woman in lebanon?

Question

I'm a canadian who is going to get transfered for his job abroad. I have three choices, India, Lebanon, or Morocco. I don't really want to go to India but I am considering Lebanon or Morocco.

I was wondering about the chances of a western man getting the chance to date a lebanese girl. Obviously this is isn't my only criteria, but considering I am a 28 yr old single guy and the fact that the job will likely last around 4-5 yrs I do consider it.

So does a canadian man have any chance of dating a lebanese girl? I've heard that the christian girls are the most liberal and the shias the most conservative and the sunnis are somewhere in the middle. But then again I'm not sure about this.

Answer 1

I don't understand your reasoning here. Just because you are going there does not mean you have to date or marry anyone. Besides that, there are other westerners there too.

I think Lebanon was a better choice than India or Morocco because of the western influence in Lebanon. But I suggest you be very careful to understand the traditions, cultural and religious, so you don't regret any decision you make later on. Vast differences in those two areas are hard to overcome.

BTW, they aren't "girls" at that age, they are are women.

Answer 2

well first , you can't marry a Muslim girl unless you revert to Islamic religion .
other than that you may find your soul-mate there very easily , you are going to one of the most charming countries in the world and the nicest people ever .
