Hi Stella,

, I'm not Wendy (though I have a sister by that name...), but I just read your comments and had to ponder how you can make the statement:

"My boyfriend is unemployed, lives at home, has asked for money a few times for things like fixing his car or taking English classes( his English is pretty good). I pay for all my flights and I will pay for all the papers once I am there..."

and consider this to be a good idea based on this alone. Even though you say you are not concerned with financials, you still want to find out your legal rights to get out if need be (understandably).

SO, traveling (on your dime) to a middle eastern country to marry a man who has no job, no residence, you send him pocket money etc ... I;m confused- how does this seem like a good thing to you...?

I can't tell you what to do obviously, but I would beg you to think LONG and HARD about the irrevocable step you are about to take. Legal rights or no, you may be entering into a situation that legalities will not protect you from. Just my opinion, hope you take it in the right way...

at any rate- GOOD LUCK! (You will need it)
