depends on what nationality the wife is... but marriage sucks anyway.. mixed or not mixed.. more than 50% of marriages in the world fall apart, regardless to religion, nationalities, age... whatever.. marriages just falling apart... like if perfect combination of religion, nationality, age, society level, etc., etc., etc. prevents your marriage from breaking.. NO!!! because institution of marriage itself is wrong.. marriage is good for some period of time when both partners have the same goals, targets, priorities, etc.,... once one of above (or anything else) start changing.. khalas, forget about marriage..
