Someone did mention something about being beaten or kidknapped.... And I know it is acceptable for a muslim man to marry a woman of the book (shristian or jew) I am muslim, don't need a lesson on that..... However it is better if a muslim man married a muslim woman..... I know pleanty of muslim men who are married to non-muslim women. My brother in-law being one.... I am just saying folks should question it.... I mean with all that a person has to go through... things get more complicated when you throw religon in the mix... But then again most of those who marry non-muslim women don't really practice their faith anyway so in those cases I guess it doesn't really matter.....

OMG your comments are getting worse! lol So, either a Muslim will marry a Christian if it is fraud (better call ICE on your brother-in-law) or it is because they are going to burn in Hell.....

I didn't see the post about being beaten or kidnapped; I must not have read that one.

Your statements seem like a lot of generalizations about levels of religion and religious practices, which comes across to me as ironic b/c you jumped into the convo on here when you felt Moroccan men were being generalized.

whoa whoa whoa guys!!!! calm down!!! i have not filed for the K-1 yet, and dont plan to for a while. I have never once said i was filing as soon as i returned home from my visit to Morocco. he and I bother know that this trip was to see how and if things would work and for me to have a vacation. there are alot of things you guys dont know and i dont feel i have to explain everything. there is no way i am jumping into things and have said from day one that we would do things slow and correctly to make sure everything is done right. i joined VJ to learn things and get comfortable with the process, and i genuinely appreciate all the responses and concerns and will take them into consideration. on the other hand, like i said, i am simply here to enjoy myself, learn more about him and his family and the way he lives. then after my return to the US i will decide. i have been through alot in my life and have a very hard time trusting people period and this is no different. i have been studying Islam since day one so that i know his religion and how things should be with him since he says he is a practicing muslim. i have well prepared myself for what may come and feel i little hurt at all the negativity on this post. like i said i appreciate the concern and do take it into consideration but sometimes in life people just straight screw up.... not saying this is what happened with abedine because i have not fully decided what my feelings are but im just stating. i am having an amazing time and couldnt be happier... we are talking more before i leave on the 22nd and i will go from there on what i want to do. some comfort and encouragement would be nice but if you do not feel that way, i dont want you to tell me something just to say it.

inchallah things will work the way they are meant to and everything will work out.

WOW... Not what I was saying at all.. But we can only go by our own inturpitation on the information given.... Marriage a huge where Islam is concerned..... It is half our deen... This is why I would question why a muslim man would want to marry a non-christian woman... Especially those who don't even care to learn anything about their husbands religion.....

Well, you could have gotten no repsonses by people who didn't give a rats bottom. There are so many horror stories we read from time to time. I spoke to one guy on www.dragonladies.com that told me he lost $ 20,000 to one woman. I still couldn't convince him she was a scammer. You are doing it the right way. You'll be fine. Good luck.

I have seen Moroccan men being generalized alot on this site... Some of us need to keep an open mind and remember there are always exceptions.... Folks get duped dealing with men/women form other countries as well... It just seems that floks here tend to jump all over MENA men.... I guess I just get in my feelings because my husband is Moroccan....

I haven't had a bad experience at all with my Moroccan husband I visit with his sister and brother who live here in the states as often as I can and they vist with me as well.... My husband is one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life and his friends and family make me feel more loved and cared for than my own.....

I have heard that if a Middle East Man marries a dark skinned girl she should question fraud cause why would he want to marry her.

My husbands father is DARKER than I am as is many of his family members..... His family are not the type of people who discriminate or think of anyone as being better or more beautiful or what have you because of their skin color...... And upon meeting my husband I DID question why he didn't want marry a woman from his COUNTRY.... not that it is any of your business.....

My thoughts are when filing for a K-1 visa both parties have to sign a intent to marry memorandum to send with the visa petition, a copy of his passport, the G325, his birth certificate.

Wait a bit, does the beneficiary need to submit birth certificate and passport copies? I thought only the petitioner had to do that to prove citizenship.

Gosh, I could have done without the "I am ready to abandon my religion for a pair of muslim boxers".

what does that mean? i am a woman first off, and i am learning islam to know more about my husband and understand him better.... i could do without the smart remark..

[msheesha 548]

When did he become your husband???????

Your husband? I thought you just said you were there to have a vacation and get to know him and see if you like each other?

I must have missed something. If he is already your husband then..... I don't even know what to say. We aren't trying to blatantly blast him. What you have described really doesn't sound like him being honest is even remotely plausible. We are just trying to open your eyes a bit. Have a fun trip either way.

Just to clarify & to be sure I asked my Moroccan husband about the word "fiancé" in Morocco. No question it's a commonly used term. Even if there is not the same kind of courtship/dating there as in the US, the term is used after two individuals have agreed to marry & their families has met.

So it all sounds like bs your "husband" is trying to pads off as the truth.

--- after their families HAVE met ----
