Hello everybody! I'd like to know your opinion and I w'd be glad to receive yours advises. What do you think is it possible for only son in family in Egypt to get marred with foreigner woman? Does he have a hope to receive the approval of his family in this case and insist on his own decision? They wants him, of course, to get marred with Arabic woman and Muslim

Of course this is possible. it depends on his own selfconfidence and selfassureness. Normally the family has to accept the decision of their son regarding marriage. But to make it easier for him: just think about converting to the Islam. I mean, you must not become one of the strong fanatic believers, but maybe the family has a problem because they are afraid that their grandchildren will not be raised as good believing moslems when they have a chistian mother. But in fact, moslem men are allowed to marry christian women. And it is absolutely forbidden according to qu'ran to force someone and to put pressure on somenone to make him to convert to islam.

Sorry I didn’t mean so … but I hope you don’t mean that people who stick to their religion are “strong fanatic believers.” And mixing “strong” with “fanatic” is so confusing … because “strong believers” are a positive thing, while “fanatic believers” is a negative thing.
Any, getting back to the point:
Evelina: There is no one to know better about that question except you. Please make sure the issue of his family is not only a pretext for him to escape bond with you. Assuming good intention, if he loves you, he would do anything to marry you, especially that it is totally religiously legal for a Moslem to marry Christian women.
About taking a decision away from his family’s own decision … generally yes it is very possible: men have such power in Egypt

Evelina, just one question: did you already met his family? I mean, according to Raymons words: maybe he takes this as an excuse not to marry you.

I really don't understand such advices. Is a religion just a toy, which u can change from one to another? U can take a religion or change it only if u feel the real wish for that, deep inside ur heart and sole(IMHO), not for a lover! If a person don't really care what religion to have and it is a peace of cake for him to change it,- what for to have one?
