This only goes to the Omani Muslim men in sabla:

Would you marry a non-muslim, not Omani woman?

Would you marry a non-Omani but Muslim woman?

Would you marry a non-muslim but Omani woman? (I don't know if there are any, but I just had to put that option to fit in).

Which one(s) would you marry? Please reason your answers.

Would you marry a non-muslim, not Omani woman?
No, 'cause I don't want to marry a non-Omani anyways..

Would you marry a non-Omani but Muslim woman?
No, I want to marry an Omani woman.

Would you marry a non-muslim but Omani woman? (I don't know if there are any, but I just had to put that option to fit in).
Don't think so.

Yes to all questions, but ofcourse there would be complications if she wasn't an omani, and even more and more complications if she's non-omani and a non-muslim!

I would have one of each please ;)

I would prefer marrying a woman from another country with a different faith.

No reason at all, it's what I prefer.

My only condition that she's Muslim, not so called one. Am not that concerned for the nationality though my preference would be Omani of course, specially if she's Qu7eyah like me :D ( Qu7eyah: traditional )


*Edited*

Why?! Is it hard to find an Omani Muslim woman?! :think:

it is accepted in Islam to marry a women with Faith, even if she's not Muslim...


however, i would rather marry a Muslim Omani women =)

An Omani Muslim girl, ofcourse.

and when i say muslim i mean a real muslim, not just writen on the passport she is muslim.

because the wife is the pillar of the family, if she is astray it will have a big effect on the kids, husband and the marriage.

I would marry a Muslim Omani woman. I have thought of marrying a non-Omani in the past but I changed my mind about it after I weighed all the advantages and the disadvantages.

I do agree with TripleTee that it not necessary if the parents were "religious", then the kids would be. I have seen examples of such.

I would marry a muslim and by that a true muslim that at least does all Allah's obligations (prayer, fasting, and so on).

I want to marry to a non-Omani Muslim woman, any one available?

I will marry a Muslim Omani non-sablite.

The Sablites are expensive and spoiled according to amo, I want my wife to wash my feet when I come back from work!

Thanks
As if I have few haters :bored:

As I understand from taxi drivers I usually talk to, they want to marry from out cause dowry too high and western women are more openminded [ meaning it in an innocent way]
Religion is relatively important for them
Those who want to marry Omani, then yes want religious girl [but not Talibani type]

Off topics have been deleted. Please stay on topic and don't turn it into a religious debate. Endure's thread is simply asking the sabla men if they would marry a non-Muslim Omani, or a Muslim Omani or a non-Muslim foreigner? Obviously, you can give your reasons which will involve Islam but it should not turn into a religious debate. Also, in this case, it is whether her religion is Islam or not, not whether she abides by all the teachings of Islam, but I think you're more than welcome to add what sort of Muslim she has to be in order to be your wife.

Thanks :)

^ Lym, moderators like you are HIGHLY appreciated :)

Its rare to find Omani- non Muslims according to our rules, but there are few .. like "Khimji" family whom been given the omani nationality.

In general there is no way that I will marry a non-muslims one unless if she agree to convert to a muslim one.

I'm not sure that I will agree on a non-Omani Muslims ,I prefer an Omani one.

Endure Whisper,what is the point of this question dear ? is it just you gathering statistics or you have an argument behind it ?

She is aplaning a mass conversion of some Omani girls and here she is trying to measure the potential damage...

Sorry Lym, I couldnt help but getting off topic!

Pygmalion,

Mass conversion from what to what ?

Its common sense that as a Muslim man I wouldnt marry a non-muslims (not Muslims and not from Ahl el kitab)

I'm a Muslims and I wish my wife to be a Muslim who bless my house and my children whom help me to rise my children in the islamic way..It doesnt really matter if she was Omani Or not.

Now if we go to nationality,then I prefer some one Omani or from GCC because my country lqw doesnt allow me to marry some other nationality ,unless if I write a letter to "Ministry of foreign affairs"and list reasons and have "Wasta" to process it.(Correct me if am wrong)

Over-all I prefer an Omani because some times its hard for the female to stay very far from her family and I will be forced to take to her country and then bring her back.Some times she might have a problem in merging her own country life style with mine.

What kind of hearts we have that go by relegions and boarders! :D

Endure is bringing nice topics these days... I like this kind that reflects a social attitude instead of personal ones e.g. how do you like your steak to be coocked?!
--------------------------------

I think the way a society runs has a very strong impact on some personal decision like this one... although most men here voted for Muslim and Omani, I dont think they have any problem with non-Omanis and many of them with a non-Muslim, but the fact that a great deal of your social life, unlike in other socities, involves your family and the spouse's family, marrying an Omani Muslim makes life much easier!

^ For all those who wonder why I opened this thread, I just want to see the social attitudes towards marrying non muslim/omani women.

Rejected,unless if you dont buy what Islam asked us and and wish to lose your passport.

I will go the road wherever destiny awaits

I really don't mind losing my passport. To me, Religion comes first.

Salam

OMAN: Omani, Muslim And Native

However that my personal choice was, others can suite themselves.

No to all..
I want a Omani Muslim Woman. :)

don't you care for hybrid vigour?

^ Me? I don't.

Let's see what the men think.

^hybrid vigour = strong gene pool.
marrying from your 'own' kind all the time, with no interruptions can cause a lot of problems in the future. some foreign blood does good to your gene pool.

^ We have many different "kinds" in Oman lol .. but I must admit, yes it does good..

don't you care for hybrid vigour?

My kids defiantly gotta look like this :love:

I know but that is why before marriage there is a lot of "check ups".
That is what I head anyway.
And if there will be a possibility of problems then I might not get married! :)

Am already married, but to answer the question, I have no problem marrying a non-Omani Muslim woman. As for non-Muslim, I will try convincing them into Islam.

don't you care for hybrid vigour?

First time I see this.

Anyway, mixing blood gets the kids the best of both parents, as opposed to expired blood

I'd go 4 omani muslim :).....not likely to marry a non omani muslim...:)_

^ off topic: oh they have a son? what a cutie! :cute:

ra3eeha 7arameeha!!! (the keeper is the thief) !

ur a mod and going off-topic!!!

someone report her!!!!



------------------------------------

i know many omanis who married a non-muslim,,,, but those non muslim women respect Islam and the Omani culture, and that kept the marriage great....

check ups are not enough. especially when marrying from the same family, whose parents and grandparents are related as well.

Yes to all questions, I'm not picky about nationality or religion.

check ups are not enough. especially when marrying from the same family, whose parents and grandparents are related as well.

I agree with you but they are doing more than check ups they have started DNA testing now to check for bad genes. In Oman its still optional but in Saudi its compulsory now and the UAE is moving in the same direction. Not a prefect system but better than it used to be.:)

check ups are not enough. especially when marrying from the same family, whose parents and grandparents are related as well.

People say that as well. But I think the only way you get sick when marrying someone from your family IF there is someone in it who has a disease going on through marriage.
And some say the children don't come out "good" which I hate hearing...
God created everyone in the best way.

^tell that to families whose kids have health problems. they'd give their own life for their child to not have that problem.
