Sallam Samir,

i live in th uk and i am dating a Moroccan for 1 year now.I have been to Morocco 2 times and i have met all his family including extended family all anties and uncles,cousins and his firends.He has asked the apruval of his parents and they all agreed for us to get married.We did started the papers last Month but then i have seen a big change in him and i told him he has to calm down.He hided my passport coz i wanted to leave him.....

He said he cannot live with out me and i am everything for him.He wants me to cover including my face after marrige coz he said i am beutiful and he dont want any man to look at me.He also wants me to change religion and so does his family ,coz for any future child.He thinks we would be more complete having the same religion. I have told his mum in morocco that i dint like his way and i wanted to wait 1 year of more before

getting married she was shocked they want us to get married as soon as possible and she has also tols me they need to have my weeding dress hand made for me and organise the party. We have been toghter for 1 year now and have been told is not normal for a muslim person to wait too long.

I have seen with my own eyes povery, and also rich people.Morocco is a beautiful country i loved it from the first time.People were very nice to me and very freindly.Do u have any advice? Can u please reply coz i dont know what to do.

Many thanks.
