>>Don't allow your daughters to date Saudis!<<

Amen, but not just Saudis. Saudi Arabia is the worst but marrying men (or women) from other countries can turn into a nightmare in the event of a divorce.

I have been told by a Muslim woman from Egypt, living in the US, that according to Islam the children are supposed to live with the mother in the event of divorce.

I have no idea whether she is correct, but there certainly is a nationalistic bias going on here. I have heard that Germany is about as bad.

I dated a lady of Indian (the country) descent that said she would never marry an Indian.

I married a Vietnamese lady that said she would never marry a Vietnamese.

It was a cultural thing; something about the roles of the husbands and wives...

Germany is as bad...

we have a case here where the ex decided to take his "boys" to Germany with him, where he married a German woman....he rarely allows the boys to talk with their real mother....

the guy was arrested here when he came but soon made it out of jail for some reason, because our govt is loathe to enforce child custody especially since the "boys" were in Germany and there was no legal way to bring them back...

the father used the excuse to take "his boys" because he claimed mom was a bad mother.(don't they all claim that) except it did't really ring true, since he left one younger son to stay with the real mom.....guess he wasn't too worried after all ...

imagine being swiped away from both your mom, your little brother, all the relatives that you have ever known to go live in Germany?.......

someday, there will be hell to pay for this action....
