Don't Do It

Dear Anon,

My advice to you is: DON'T DO IT. Please do not marry this man, cut it off completely. There is somebody else out there for you that you can love, a Christian man if you are one also. I know you love him but you are in for heartache for the rest of your married life. His family will continually force-feed Islam and your husband will become mean and withdrawn from you if you don't show any signs of converting after your marriage, unless you pretend to convert just to marry him, which often happens in these cases. If you move to his country you might find yourself trapped without means to leave. And God forbid if children enter into this marriage! You will be sorry. You will lose any freedoms you now have and wonder if your brain was switched off. THINK---DON'T FEEL. There are many, many cases such as yours that end in divorce--or worse.
