| Saudi women prefer to marry foreigners |
| 2014-11-07 |
| [ARABNEWS] Saudi women are turning to foreigners for stability and security in the marital world. Many say they would rather marry foreigners to ensure that the marriage doesn't end in divorce or polygamy, not to mention the greater social and cultural freedom they say they would enjoy by getting hitched "outside the box." "Countless young women are afraid of marrying into Saudi families because of soaring divorce rates and social restrictions," Hady Makki, a hospital nurse, told Arab News. |

| #8 Lol, john qc. Woman seeking open-minded man: must like reciting the koran. But maybe only once a week not every day. One who won't mind if I show my face in public. Genuine responses only - aacid-throwers, beheaders, stoners and beaters won't be considered. |

| #7 Hmmmmmm, I wonder how these ladies' "Personals" read on an online dating service? Like to take long sunset walks in the sand. I like someone who will not lop off my head. I'm not into being on the receiving end of an honor killing. Want a monogamous relationship. Stoning is definitely a turn off. I have aspirations such as driving a car. |

| #6 In a typical polygamist society a woman gets the choice of sharing a wealthy husband or marrying a poor man. Sort of a raw deal either way. Mormons seem to be the exception to this. I'm unsure why. |

| #5 They are marrying the wrong foreigners. Survey the ones that married Americans, Canadians or Ausies. |

| #3 Yes, but do they still marry Mulims? Saudi, foreign Muzzie, a distinction without a difference? |
