Assalamu'alaikum Brothers,
Well I have given up the drink, bacon, smoking, 'female friends' but didn't realise it would be so difficult to get married LOL........
I have given up friends suggesting 'so and so' sister for marriage as my experiences have been:
- introduced to divorcees or divorcees with kids
I wouldn't marry a lady with kids, I'm just not ready to be a 'ready-made' dad yet.
I have no problem with divorcees in practice but I have found the divorcees I have met are clearly not ready for re-marriage (still very angry at ex, quick tempered, I end up 'providing counselling' , they haven't completed 'idda' yet etc etc
As a revert I have experienced certain communities out there that I feel, would not dream of me marrying their daughter/sister when single, but once divorced, I'm welcomed with open arms?!
My limited experience of internet dating has also been poor, being rejected because:
- A muslim, but non-practising Wali father- wally more like- feels I am not earning enough, not drive a nice enough car for his daughter, even though daughter accepts?!
-Girls who see the photo, meet you and then without reason 'do a U turn'?!
-Due to having a beard?!
I just wanted to get other revert brothers experiences of trying to find a wife- what worked & what didn't.....maybe share advice? It getting so difficult trying to fast every/ every other day...."
"
Funny I have heard of reverts having sisters falling at their feet wanting to marry them.
This seems to be especially true of Somali sisters - they often seem to want to marry outside their culture for some reason."
"Somali girls Crave it bro, go for a Somali girl"
"Somali brother who's clearly angry his own women want out. Not surprised with language like that."
"They actually don't a lot of somali women ain't interested in somali men anymore for whatever reason."
"Proof? I have Somali friends"
Response of a Somali:
"It's apart of Islam to marry anyone who is a muslim regardless of what ethnicity there from. Am Somali and if a Somali sister chooses to marry another man from a different ethnicity who Is a Muslim,what's the problem. We need to get rid of this jahil mentality as we are all one ummah, say No to racism."
