Marriage to a Resident or Foreigner

What Do You Think About Marrying a Woman from Outside the Gulf?

I am an Omani man from Sohar, and I love an Indonesian woman I met. She is kind, religious, and comes from a respectable family. My family refuses to accept the relationship because of her nationality. How should I handle this?

Your family's real concern may be cultural integration and the children. Try to reassure them with successful examples around you, and do not approach them defensively.

I married a Thai woman when I was 32, and my family objected at first. Two years later, they are the ones who love her most. Time resolves a great deal.
