Would you marry someone foreign?

I'm as white as they come and if I could marry the Polish love of my life I would in a heartbeat

I am a Pakistani woman married to a white american man. Despite our religious and racial differences, you'd be surprised to find how much we have in common. I think the pakistani mountain-culture fits really well with the american conservative red-necky culture. We both share a love of guns, liberty, family and faith. We both love food and family and intellectual stimulation.

For me, I married him because I find men from the arab world can be very sexist and misogynistic. In my dh I found the perfect mix of conservatism and liberalism. He cares about family and isn't promiscuous and has good values but he isn't a crazy extremist.

In me, he says he has found the perfect woman. He cannot believe he ever dated white american girls and says they do not know how to be women.

regardless, we are very happy. Our parents aren't thrilled, but they're coming around.

I'm a foreigner in the U.S. who married another foreigner. I think it helps in some ways but hurts in others. Marrying an American is more practical in that your citizenship issues are sorted out earlier. It all comes to personal compatibility at the end of the day.

Most Indians parents who are Hindus or Christians prefer that their kids marry within the faith but they will accept an interfaith marriage but when it comes to marrying a Muslim, they would be opposed to it. This would especially be the case if it is a Hindu or Christian woman who is wanting to marry a Muslim.

shah rukh khan's in laws didn't seem to mind, lol.

I think you have to assume that people who marry outside of their religion aren't VERY religious, because if they were, they wouldn't have contemplated setting up house with someone from a different faith. Love is one thing but marriage something else entirely.

PS: Even the most liberal Muslim families will oppose the marriage between their daughter and a non-Muslim man. It's a much greater taboo than marrying a non-Muslim woman.

I did. Though to most of you I am probably the foreigner. Strange question.

Can I just say as a 'foreigner' who married an American - it sucks when you get divorced. You are stuck here and have no family etc. Appreciate what the 'foreigner' is giving up to get married.

Americans are often bizarre.

God blessed them.

My husband is British. I don't really think of him as foreign. It's not until we are in a small town or in the middle of nowhere and someone asks him to "say something" because they want to hear him talk that I am reminded that he can be a bit of a novelty in some places.

I'd be really hesitant to marry someone from any country where women are considered inferior or subservient to men.

Go post on a California forum. And if you don't like Americans, how about going back home while you're at it?
