Just out of inquisitiveness.. can a non Arab, non muslim guy marry an Arab girl.. is it allowed in UAE ?

i think this has been discussed before in some thread...

yeah it was discussed before.......well

here in dubai it doesnt matter, it depends on the parents of both sides. But a non muslim guy cannot marry a muslim girl, the islamic law here wont marry them...

thats what i know

Wouldn't the guy have to convert to Islam first?

For them to get married yes

like bleakus said, it depends on the parents. also you wont have a legal marriage though since you are not muslim (because no one will legaly marry you here).



so,






whos the lucky girl

what about civil marriage? do they acknowledge it in UAE? cos in lebanon u cant have civil marriage but if u went out of the country and did it , when u come you will recognized as a husband and wife with all the rights just like a religious wedding..

if he was muslim, then yes it would be recognized. however, since he is not the marriage will not be.

Not ALL arabs are muslims .....choco dont u get it after staying in SA and UAE

That's kind of dumb that a non muslim man can't marry a muslim woman.

Isn't that a kind of discrimination, like an african man can't marry a white woman even if they love each other?

no its not discrimination... its a religion and thats how it works....

And if he loves her, it shouldn't be a problem for him to convert

well if a non circumsized man converts to Islam, wouldn't he have to get circumsized. ouch

And yes it is discrimination, if the man very religious or an athiest it would be an insult to have to convert/ subscribe to a set of beliefs that he doesn't care for.

Are you muslim? If so and you fell in love with a non muslim, why can't you just convert out of your religion. This is a double standard that exists in the muslim world. As Kanelli has said people of other faiths, or even other sects of Islam are routinely discriminated against. If you expect moderates in the west to not discriminate than surely you (muslims) need to do the same. Bahai's in Iran are sometimes hung yet I have never heard a muslim organization in the west or in the muslim world speak out against these injustices. They usually only speak out against one injustice in the middle east and that's zionism. The west will never take you seriously until muslims unequivicolly denounce muslim imperialism and discrimination against women, homose.xuals, religious minorities and even racism against non arabs as seen in Saudi and Sudan. Muslims nowadays only speak against zionism and bristle against any criticisms on Islam, thats to bad, your religion has its faults and the Koran needs to be updated for the 21st century.

lol ....... religions can be changed but not race....ther are some religions like Judaism and Druzze that u cant even convert unless one of ur parents is from their religion. And yes there are muslims that protest against the conditions in muslim world but u rarely see published in paper. U have to c muslim world is not central organization , it is disperesed. And e did u read the Quran to say it to b changed? Cos as far as i know it hasnt been changed and isnt allowed o b changed until the day of judgement

There are many people who convert to Judaism. Where are these Muslims that you speak of? I notice that muslims usually refer to the wahabbis in Saudi as not real muslims, and the Taliban as not real muslims, and the Clerics in London who call for the deaths of non muslims as not real muslims. So my question is, who are the real muslims? Where are these groups that speak (routinely) against the honor killings in Iran (and Pakistan) and the killing of Bahai's. Could you show post their website? I'm sorry to say this, but even if there are a couple of muslim groups in the West that seek true equality between Homos.exuals and other alienated groups its just spitting in the wind.

Does that mean that you can convert out of Islam without being labelled an apostate?
