Marriage?
By Metallica666 •
Is it true that it's illegal for a Qatari girl to marry a foreigner?
I am not sure if it's true since I asked my mother and she was like "It's not ever gonna happen anyways, it's illegal, don't even start to plan!", I won't trust my mum's words on that anyways.
so the question is,
what if it is illegal, do you think it's fair? since men are allowed to marry foreign women.
I think it's the whole nationality thing, as if a men marries a foreign woman, their children are still Qataris, but if a woman marries a foreign man, the children won't be Qataris.
So as a Qatari girl, I am only allowed to marry Qataris, such a disappointment.
Heero: D*m u ;) just kidding buddy :)
Drac: :P

I'm not in Qatar but i'm marrying a muslim girl and i'll convert because i love her and i always belived God/Allah.
The only prob can be some cultural issues but you need to be tolerant towards each other, just like mjhossain said, "the problems are, kids name, a muslim name or a non muslim name, one parent want the kid to go to mosque and the other parent want the kid to go to church etc.etc." so, you need to get a middle term, even if you are both muslim, most european muslims have a mentality pretty similar with non muslim european/americans.
Anyway, if you want we can chat more about it either here or in PM message, up to you ;)
Good luck 4 your final :)

Thanks for the answers everyone,
But I am mature enough and no I am not in love with no one and I don't plan to at all, I'm still only 16. I just find it unfair that even if I was in love with someone who isn't Qatari I should still have the rights and I should be free to choose whoever I want to marry.
I don't think a traditional marriage suits me. I have dreams to be something big and I don't think a traditional marriage would allow me to be what i want to be.
Yeah I want to have a good eduction first ( I hope I do well, I have a final tomorrow ( Maths) )
anyways.
NO I am not planning to get married any time soon.

Stand up for what you believe in even if you stand up alone
I am living in Canada for last 20 years. I have seen lot of muslim man and woman are marrying non muslims, at the end they are having nothing but problems. Specially when they have kids, the problems are, kids name, a muslim name or a non muslim name, one parent want the kid to go to mosque and the other parent want the kid to go to church etc.etc. I think man and woman should be allowed to many a foreigner as long as they are from same religion.
...and make a living in another place and not be abided by the laws of Qatar...
Well?

lolita be sure in 1 main point that marriage is like death it's destiny so u 'll marry what Allah name to you what u 've choosen and forget love story because love is not related to succesful life love goes away after u finish ur desires from each others then u come back to the land again
u should marry from ur race it's the best at least u live in the same mode
Darlin', with your smarts and sassiness you can do/be anything you want! Concentrate on getting a really good education first and the rest will fall into place. I'd love to hear what you career goals are.

If you love someone deeply enough, there's a way. But you also have to be ready to take what life hands you after you take that plunge, as per sara. However...sara...what you don't understand AS a parent is that our love for our children runs so deep that we can and will forgive just about anything. Its like God's/ Allah's love for us...it has no limits.
I also know several Qataris who have married outside their nationality AND their religion. All of those marriages are very solid and loving. It just depends upon the maturity and depth of the relationship.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
1st of all if your muslim i think you might wanna marry a muslim!!! both because if u dont its haram, and also because you will have problems with culture clashes, how will your children be raised etc.
if the guy is muslim but foreign there still can be culture clashes which can ruin your marriage!!!
also think of your family, in our society it is not accepted to marry foreigners so we will bring shame to our parents who have raised us with all their heart!!
you will isolate your self from your society and family!
and if anything ever goes wrong u dont hve any1 to turn to.
im a 19 yr old muslim girl sayin this btw!
so im not some old granmother or granfather who might be very closed minded!!!
i suggest u wait!!!
if your far in your 20s and you still feel you cant be happy with a qatari, and u hve found a foreigner who for years u get along very well with, then maybe u could try and talk to your family very seriously, and they would listen to u better as they see your now a mature adult!!
i think if the law does allow men to marry foeigners but not women tht is unfair and unislamic!
good luck sweety! just pray to god and he will show you the way!!!
nice romantic answer by macgyver
Im the one and only
i suggest you go with what your heart desires...if u really love a person, there will be no ocean to deep to swim. no mountain to high to climb. follow your heart and you will never go wrong.

IF ur a Qatari then u should better know what ur society offers u or binds u from. Anyhow I know that a Musllim can marry a Muslim :) irrespective of skin or language.
