Any advices on my situation please

When marrying or dating a Kuwaiti female you have to be cautious of her family, if you do something to make her mad she will release the hounds (her male family members) on you. No, she can't marry you unless you become Muslim, you being an atheist, I hope you don't plan on having kids (no offense). If you convert to Islam, which should come from your heart not because of a female, and you decide to divorce yes, she can get those benefits from you. It's unfortunate that men convert to Islam because of a woman, they know they will never follow the rules so why even do it? I doubt she's looking for a UK citizenship, Kuwait has laws against dual citizenship so most people hide the fact they carry Western passports. I'm married to a Kuwaiti so I'm familiar with these types of situations.

hello to everyone!in this topic there was a question about jordanian man and ukrainian woman.first at all...how many times you visited Jordan,my dear?my point is-why make things hard,if there way to make things easy?!very simple:your partner take a vacation and going to Jordan,in same time u going to Jordan too and better bring with u ur birth sertificate,translated to english and legalized.visa to Jordan can be open in airport for some fee.muslim man can marry muslim,christian and even jew woman,cuz anyway his children will be a muslim.if ur partner have jordanian citizen,marriage in jordan will be easy.than,on the grounds of ur jordanian marriage certificate,he will have all rights invite u to Kuwait,as his wife.and very big plus-visiting jordan will give u chance to see the country and ur partner will have chance and pleasure to introduce u to his family.believe me:this trip will left u under an unforgettable impression and experience.and last one:think twice my dear,think twice!!!not worth powder and shot

Sajidejai,

I am not taking anyone against their will, and I'm not treating anyone with harshness. I don't know why you would say that? about the bridal money given by the husband to his wife at time of marriage, I find this extremely shallow, almost as if I'm buying a bride! why does money comes into it, I have a real problem with that and this is something that will have to be addressed.

what's his is hers but what's hers is ONLY hers

This goes against everything I think marriage stands for, marriage to me is about going through life together and sharing everything equally.

Kuwait 411,

She does have an uncontrollable temper, is this normal for Kuwaiti citizens? it's another issue, in the UK you would most certainly get sacked from your job for this type of behaviour.

I looked up Atheism to get a definition for you and it described me whole heartedly, see below, it's great.

Atheists define their lifestyle as follows.. An atheist loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An atheist accepts that heaven is something for which we should work now – here on earth – for all men together to enjoy. An atheist accepts that he can get no help through prayer, but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and to enjoy it. An atheist accepts that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help lead to a life of fulfilment.

Hello Daz from UK,

A new topic has been created as from your post on the Kuwait forum.

Thanks.

Thanks

the gist of it is as follows; u need to read up on wedding customs according to Islam before raising your red flags of suspicion. it is not about what you believe marriage stands for, it is about what her faith tells her about marriage.

your entire ideology on the subject is flawed; sue you for a maid, driver and other 'luxuries'? its called alimony, and last i checked its practiced in the USA.

bottom line is; you either embrace her faith wholeheartedly or be on your separate ways. there is no middle ground.

Legacy is spot on Daz, if you, like me, are a full on athiest then it is never going to work out so don't waste any further time making it more complicated.

Sajidejai was quoting from the qur'an a section related to marriage so he wasn't bringing up the subject of money just what may be brought up if you convert and go ahead.

also - dont mind my saying Daz but you dont seem to be "in love" with this one; your suspicions regarding any ulterior motives, your pointing out of her anger issues etc.

are u sure u even want to go thru with this?
