I just came back from Morocco 2 weeks ago after meeting my fiancee and his family. I was not asked nor made to wear a hiijab. What a stupid thing to say! Nor was I asked anything about my Christian faith or his as being Muslim. I paid for ticket to get there because I could more readily afford it than he could, plus he did offer to sell his car to help, which I refused.

Their economy is not like ours...hello. I would prefer that he come to Canada with as much cash in his pocket as possible to support himself with while looking for work, than spend large amounts of it on me proving that he loves me. There are many other ways to tell if someone is genuine, rendering them broke is not one of them.
