Janet Jackson and Qatari boyfriend to wed

Singer Janet Jackson and fiance Wissam al Mana are reportedly planning to tie the knot next year and plan to make it a grand event.

“They have tentatively set a late 2013 wedding date. But they are still working out the details and the exact day,” National Enquirer magazine quoted a source as saying.

“Wissam is going to splash big when he marries Janet. It’s going to be the wedding of the century,” the source added.

The couple, who are dating each other since 2010, plan to tie the knot in Doha, Qatar.

FathimaH said "Why should she convert? ...

Is it a rule in Qatar? Cos as far as a Muslim man goes, rich or poor, marrying a Christian or a Jewish lady is permitted according to the Quran."

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. TFS! In mine, have to convert 1st before marriage. Hence, it's a stalemate. But happily, not for Janet and her beau. :0)

/Britex, I was wondering if Andrew was a previously unknown skeleton in the closet... :-0

The Quran states clearly that it is lawful for a Muslim man to marry any lady from among the people of the book(Jews and Christians) provided they are chaste and don't have boyfriends(meaning they don't sleep around/are not adulterous). This is what I meant to say. Cos many Non Muslims and indeed some Muslims are unaware of this fact.

I understand though what you mean. Yes..in many countries the world over, laws, be they religious or of the land, are often bent, twisted and even omitted for the better off folk...sad but true!

FathimaH, is it permitted? I don't think so and sorry, don't get me wrong but this has nothing to do with the Quran... BUT... since it's a Hollywood star and it's conveniently famous... hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!
