Jordan man

Submitted by Ann (United States), Feb 22, 2010 at 09:49

Hello. I read your story. If I were you I would be very careful with this man. I am married to a Jordanian for 5 years now, 4 years here in the states. My husband is Islamic. Although, he's not extreme, he is still Muslim. He will want you to convert. A marriage contract does not convert you. You need to say the Shadah with him or with a Inman of Islam.

The problem I forsee already is that he is controlling and demanding. His quickness to marry is telling me he has a problem with his green card. Sounds like he is lieing to you already. I hope this message is not too late as I didn't look at the date you wrote your note. I would forget this marriage. They are controlling people. When he says stay at home, he means it. He will go out all hours of the night with his friends but you must be home. He will forbid you your friends unless he's met them and likes them. There is more to this but don't want to type forever here.
