one of my close friends who hails from an Arab non GCC country wants to marry a local but it is very difficult to get permission from the government especially since she would be his first and only wife. If an already married man wants to marry a non GCC as a second wife, it is relatively easier but for a first wife, the gov insists that he should marry a Qatari woman..There is nothing with that, if all Qataris ended up marrying non Qataris who would marry the Qatari women then? As it is, there are so many single Qatari women out there, some never been married and some divorced.. I know some spinsters in their 50's who never had the good fortunre of getting married... Since they, the Qatari women cannot marry a foreigner anyway, their only hope to ever get married is to a Qatari man.. or maybe some other GCC national.
