britexpat, this TEA with a male friend - you posted this at the material time, right? There were a few more details there and we commented. Thanks for the update.

Agree with ummjake. And not just Western but non-Muslim womens' reservations about marriages with Muslim men in general. I said, in general, there are many exceptions. This is a risk many consider before even getting involved.

Because one doesn't only think in the short term. yeah, living in the here and now is great but some reasonable foresight into the future should be considered - to avoid future pain and agony that could be a long term suffering. All marriages are risky but some are so much more riskier than others.
