Romaska
By Romaska

Hello everybody , i am new in these forum , and maybe before was same questions , but i didn't found anything same.
Mine situation is like this.
I have originally Qatarian BF, together we not so long time, we boath so happy... BUT...

He says me many things why he cant marry me ( i am European girl ). Like from 1984 ( or something like this years Qatary Government didn't accept any foreign girls for marry with qatarian man. Accept only from (Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait). He sayd me , that if qatar man ll get marry with European (for example) government didn't accept this wife like originaly his wife, and she will not have any chance and good living there in Qatar. And same with children's, they will not have qatar passport in future. And no any money for children's from government ... etc.
Also work didnt give more salary if he will get marry with european ( if with arabick woman , it will be same time another things at work)
I hope you understand what i wanted to ask. All this is true? Or just his lie? Where i can read all rules of it? maybe you can hepl me please.

How it possible or not to get marry with originally Arabic qatarian man or not? And what it will be with all documents, future children's , and country will accept me as European wife for qatarian man.. etc.

Thanks a lot,
Regards, Olga

what do u want

I know some men marry European women.. however, it's very very hard to do it.. and if the family is not supportive than it's almost impossible..

to all who are saying "why would he or the kids want a Qatari passport".. would you want to give up your nationality for the rest of your life?? it's a hard choice!! he will be giving up everything.. even if he loves her so much..

you know when you get married you want it to be forever.. you don't want to be under pressure after a while and then regret what you did!

my advice.. if he says he can't then it means that he thinks that "he can't" and that means that he doesn't love you enough to make that sacrifice of giving up his country for you.. sad but true..

I'm not saying he's a player.. I'm saying that he likes to think everything through.. and wants to make a sound and a lifetime decision..

best of luck to yoU!

or maybe you should forget the whole thing, as unsure as you obviously are. What a poor starting point for something so big.

or maybe he's already been assigned a wife!!

and maybe he's already married with a wife and kids and you don't know or maybe you do.

May your dreams take you travelling all through your life.

As Jazzkat said, it is possible. He will need to ask for permission from the government first. However this is a long process and maybe he does not want to do this. But on the other hand it is a great excuse not to marry you. And play the martyr....on top of that you will feel sorry for him because he says he wants to, but cant because his country has these stupid rules.... Meanwhile he gets what he wants, some fun without any of the consequences.....

Oh girl just forget it...it will not happen. ..... hmmm no I retract this I think this sort of view is held by quite a number of people. I will leave it to those who know better to answer better.

He is flat out lying. A woman can marry a Qatari male and their children will be Qataris and she will receice the same benefits as a citizen. There are mnay European woman married to Qatari citizens with no problems. The only issue is that you have to get permission to marry first.

TO GET MARRIED WITH QATARI MAN U HAVE TO GET APPROVMENT FROM THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR ( FROM THE EMIR ) IT IS TAKE AROUND 2 YEARS TO GET THE APPROVMENT BUT SOME OF THEM GET IT IN 6 MONTHS IT IS DEPEND UON UR NATIONALITY BUT EVERYTHING IS TRUE U CAN NOT MARRIED QATARI LIKE THAT BECAUSE IF YOU MARRIED HIM ON THE BACK OF THE GOVERNMENT HE WILL LOOSE HIS QATARI PASSPORT AND WILL BE TCKECT OUT OF QATAR

qatari passport? then that is more important than being with you for the rest of his life and you are not worth all the trouble if he give-up those benefits? look for someone whose ready to marry you without 'excuses'.

Olga,

He is right, there are certain rules for Qatari's to follow. But he can still get married with you, although u wont have exactly the kind of life u have right now after getting married and becoming Qatari, but then thats just ur business. I know quite a few people who have married a non Qatari. As far as I know, he isn't even allowed to have a girl friend, so if he has one, then he just needs to convince the ministry of Interior to get married to u. By the way, I am not sure if you will have to convert to islam (if u r not already).

fear karma, it bites u in the butt.

if his love to u is true and if u also have a true love for him .. then why do u want to be a qatari .. go to ur contry and get married .. and dont put any gove it to this .. and why do u need ur children to be qataries .. go to ur home land and make them having european passports which makes them more privileged.... any ways ur desicion is the most imp

What he says is truth & beyond that.There are certain professions he can't occupy. Getting you & your childern Qatari nationality will also be a long shot. However, if he got wasta. It can be an exception or if you were the second wife.

there are ways around these problems but takes time and commitment on both sides.

What he says is true to a great extent, but it shouldn't be used as an excuse..

My advice is to think carefuly.. I hope I am wrong, but think he's just "using you"..

By bleu• 20 Jun 2008 09:37

I think the rules are that he must be over 40, or get prior approval, (not sure - never researched this).

Are you sure this guy is telling you the truth? or is he just playing?

Hi Romaska,

I hope this can be any help for you.

Since most of the GCC countries has almost the same rules, and as far as I heard from an Omani friend, that if the Omani man needs to get married to a foreign girl, he has to get an approval from his government first, otherwise the marriage won't be approved in Oman.

In your case, I'm not sure if the same rules apply to Qatar, or it's completely imposible to get such approval.

But Anyway, (AND THIS IS MY POINT), if he really loves you, why would he care about government giving money to his children, and why would he care about all the privileges, I don't think it's too much to sacrifice for a real love.

In the other hand, I don't think (he) as a Qatari will loose anything, but you and your coming children won't have the same privileges he had before, which is not a problem as well, you are not going to loose something by not gaining it.

I hope you got my main point, and best of luck.

:D
