Which states have sharia law? Is there a way to find out? Actually he is different than most of the men that are blogged about here (yeah yeah, I know), because he doesn't fill me with sweet, charming words. He doesn't tell me he loves me every five minutes and all the other things that MOROCCAN men say. Yes I've talked to many Moroccan men, was even scammed by one.......I'm not that naive person anymore.

He is probably the most practical, down to earth man I've ever met. He's very laid back, relaxed, etc. from what I've seen on the net anyway. He doesn't practice the religion, he said it's because of laziness. He is originally from Pakistan but has a business in Malaysia and has been living there for a few years. There won't be any children. He has no desire to come to the states or go back to his country.

He's very stable, has never asked for a dime, in fact he's been waiting almost a year for me to come there and has just offered to buy my ticket.

I have not had any reasons to distrust him since the beginning, he has never done or said anything that has caused me to question him or his integrity. I can't even think of anything negative to say about him. My questions are more about the country and what I would be giving up to live there, should I end up going.

I also understand what you are saying, that under the law (if it exists in his state) he would have all rights over me. I realize that....that's why I'm asking. I'm also asking because I realize that maybe in person it won't be the same, we won't feel the same, or I won't feel the same. It's always a possibility, I know that. I hope not, but I know it could happen. I just want to make sure it's a country I can leave on my own and on my own accord if I want to. Just covering all the basis.......I would never go blindly to a foreign country without knowing the laws and what to expect.

Thanks.
