The Arab world is a big, big place.....I know you are talking about what you have observed...probably in the gulf region ..but it doesn't constitute the rule for other arabs........The most important thing for a muslim woman is to marry a muslim.....from personal experience:
-my great, great grandpa was (from Turkmenstan) was married to a Saudi.... and that was in the 1800's.....
-my grand ma ws also mixed...Morrocon/Turkish.
-my other great grandma was Egyptian/turkish
-a close friend of mine (Egyptian muslim) married an American who became muslim
And that's just me!!!
Oh...I have a cousin who married a copt christian who became muslim...(he became muslim in his teens...way before he met her).......lili.
No, they, and more specifically their parents, prefer them to marry someone from their home country. I've only ever met men who have married outside of their own nationality.
But perhaps Lili or Aisha would be better able to answer this. I'm going on the preferences of 16 year old girls. Lord knows my preferences in men have changed since than. :)
Having spoken to many Arabic girls from various Arab nations at the school I worked with, I think it does make a very big difference. I would be very surprised to see any of them not marry another person of Arabic decent, more specifically from their own country.

Lol, Faizan, the local girls aren't that much interested in the internet :P
any posts from locals would be definitely quite helpful.
Written at almost exactly the same time :)

No, Faizan, they prefer to marry (and more often than not, are OBLIGED to marry) a person from their own country, and that's what Dohagirl was saying.
i.e., they prefer to marry a person other than their home country.

I don't think it's really possible unless you are of Arabic Muslim decent yourself.
