Marriage to Muslim

Submitted by Sandee Mitchell (United States), Jun 27, 2006 at 00:36

Hello Karita,

I am writing in hopes that you will answer and help me to understand some things. I am in love with a man from Egypt that is Muslim. I know nothing about his religion. I am now a little scared after reading some of these things.We have been writing to each other and talking. He tells me he loves me too.

I was feeling good until I read all about what others said. Now I am doubting him and thinking maybe he only wants to come here for a green card and will leave me. He tells me exactly what you said that they treat women very well. And then others say different.He tries to make me understand some of his beliefs and I do some. He says no sex before married and things like that.

Please write back to me and I hope you can help me understand. Thank You.

Sandee
