Married with Qatari

Diamonds
By Diamonds

Dear friends,

My friend has a Qatari boyfriend and they want to get married. But it seem to have a lot of problems on the process. It takes very long time for approval and get many rejections. Not so sure what is the reason of this. Please help.

Is it possible for them to get married somewhere else outside Qatar? Which country will be the best?

Is there any other way to get the approval in a very short time?

And if they can't get the appoval what shall they do to get married?

Thank you very much for all of your help.

A lot of people say that if two people love each other then let them be, but realistically speaking, the children are the ones who will pay the price later on. I've seen and known a lot of cases. One lady I knew married a local guy, she was Jordanian - I think, she got a baby boy and until he was 6 years old she didn't get the marriage approval. The boy couldn't travel so the mother was stuck in the country.

I prefer not mixing and matching - ..

For qatari guy to get approval to non-qatari woman is not that difficult. I have many qatari frends who are married to non-qatari women.

its not easy ,you have to send your aplication to merriege commity,then they send it to interior,from thier if you have any chance they will call you.and also it depends on your nationality.if your arabs many is easier but asian or western its very hard....and also if the man is young and you'll be the first wife maybe they will reject his aplication....and they will call also the family if they will not agree,big problem....you can pm me for more imfo...

In Oman, I have friends who are married to Omani. they got married in Philippines and they forwarded their application for approval to their government Offices and it takes years before it get approves. Some of my friend got approved after 5 years and some are after 10 years they said. According to them, if the papers are submitted then, the Sultan will pick, like a 100 married certificate to approve in every 5 years. My friends did had a hard time with their husband's family before they got accepted as one of the member of the family!

It's great to be loved!

I was just curious if they ever approved them for marriage?

My friend is married to a Qatari, but she is from Jordan... she had to get approved as well... they were lucky they got it quite fast... it all depends like I said on the people you know in this country..

Hope it all works out for the best...

She doesn't mind too much about citizenship.

As long as they get the marriage approval.

the govt may approve the marriage but that doesnt mean she will be given citizenship here.

I am jasskat, and it will not matter if it is his forst of second marriage.

It all depends on who the guy is, and where the girl is from. I hate to say this, but if they got rejected there is really nothing anyone can do unless the guys father can go and talk to the department and he has some influence within the department. It is easier if his family is helping out with the application.

I would like to know who is Jass-Kat.

How can contact her?

By the way my friend is from S/E Asia. And her boyfriend ever married once and seperated.

Is it true that if he married the 2nd time, the process will be faster and easier?

I take it your friend is British? If so it's unlikely they'll ever accept her. And as everyone else said if they marry somewhere else they still have to face the music when they get back.

If he really loves her i guess they'll have to move somewhere else for good and cut off his family but not a very good start to married life.

I have known of a few East/West marriages and none have worked out.

Sorry I can't be more positive.

The hardest part is how children were treated and how they never felt they fit in or they didn't know their identity, its really hard on the children. It was OK for me if the family didn't like me but the kids should not have to pay for it, their life was made miserable because of me and you marry a tribe not a person. Not until we lost a child did I realize this everyone made it their business when to me it was personal. I would tell any young lady considering marrying a Qatari

to seek out women who are married to one and get advice.

Oh and as for going somewhere else to get married, they can do that but eventually they have to come back here and face the problems they left behind so better just solve them before starting a new chapter in their lives.

I know it's thread hijack, but speaking of Las Vegas...I wana go there just to see those showgirls! lol

on a more serious note, I hate it when families get involved in the marriage affairs, I mean if they make eachother happy then let them be. It's pretty silly to stop two people from spending the rest of their lives together just of colour, race or social status.

Most Arabs will not marry a non-Arab for they know the consequences it will cause to their family.
