Advice to the american woman and marriage to a muslim.

Hello everybody,

I read many posts here about american woman who complain about being used for green card or money...

If you marry a muslim man, you have the right to do a marriage contract with him and the imam. In this contract you can ask whatever you want. Example: You may include in the contract that you will never sponsor your husband to get green card or he has the entire responsibility to take care of your expenses... You may even ask for a mahr.

Mahr is a marriage gift. You can ask money, gold, diamond etc.... For example me I got 3000$ + 2 diamonds ring and a bracelet... Total close to 8000$ of mahr.

I'm not abused and I am happily married. : )
