Question
HI,
I am a Muslim guy and belongs to Pakistan.
I have one question as a Muslim i know that one Muslim guy marry one Muslim girl, but my question is that i love one Arab girl who is U.A.E national and i wants to marry her, i know as religious point of view we don't have any problem, but as a different culture i want to confirm that her culture will allow this marriage and she will be secure in her culture about her nationality and other rights.
Thanks...
Greetings Fahad, thanks for your question. I think the most important thing you can do at this point is have a long conversation about the differences in your national cultures and status, what each of you hold as most important, and possible concerns each of you may see about coming from different cultures, so that you may work this out before the marriage--if it is possible for you to have this conversation together and/or your families. I've never seen any issues raised about difficulties with Pakistanis marrying UAE nationals, but that doesn't mean that some don't exist.
I hope this helps! Good luck to both of you, keep the communication lines open with each other, and do let me know if there's another question I can help you with.
peace,
Le Anne

Expertise
I can answer questions on Arab culture, including differences in cultures among Arab countries and sub-groups. I can also answer questions on Christian-Muslim relations, interfaith issues in general, and human rights and peacemaking issues in the Middle East.
Experience
I was a human rights worker for four years in the Middle East, and have spent time in Palestine, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. I speak intermediate Arabic; some Hebrew; and am starting Persian (Farsi, Dari). I have led a half-dozen educational delegations to the area for North American groups; and I have led trainings for nearly a thousand international human rights volunteers coming into the area over my years there. I am now working to launch an interfaith peace-teams based human rights organization, hopefully in the next two years. I am also currently editing the manuscript for my first book, a firsthand account of my time in the Middle East
