      I bet if she knew she wasnt getting her title back, she wouldnt marry him in the first place.

      I guess! I suppose she is very smart.

              In SA and some neighbouring Arab countries arranged marriages is the only way to get married!

              Not just that. This also shows how 'precious' and 'important' love is. Bah. love is a joke.

              A joke? Elaborate!

                    Arranged marriages is the only way to get married here.

                    they don't exist here.

                    Marriage is a personal thing here, no parents would dare to interfere. They will give some advice of course and some opinion but from outside., the work is done before it is believed that it is impossible to choose someone who won't be accepted by the parents if the girl or the boy gets along with them, with the parents, because the preferences will be the same, the values, the likes and dislikes.

                    This has been the way for me, for my parents, for my grand parents, (for my great grand parents I don't know) and it will be the same for my children.

                    Besides, it is not ok here to think of marriage too soon after meeting the other person, it would be considered selfish and to get married without knowing the other person well would be considered a crazy thing.

                          I'm afraid we don't enjoy that right here.

                              Love.. is a poor man's dream. Nothing else. Like a perfect world doesnt exist. Love doesnt exist.

                                Hi Sis Taj,

                                Arranged marriage is a sad reality.

                                A reality based on falsehood!

                                So no one LOVES in Saudi Arabia?

                                I don't know if true love between a man and a woman exists here.

                                Well, Sis Taj, it does exsist and thats what marriage should be all about. Its not just 'making children'. Marriage should be 'companionship for life bound by love and respect'
                                But I understand. Arranged marriage is the norm in most societies. Our families and society has not seen even a single love marriage. Thats why iArranged marriage is the sad reality.

                                  Yes, thats terrible - what about the writers in your country - do they not write about love?

                                    Hi Lotetree,
                                    Hey, the movies made are only(99% of the time) about love stories. That an irony, aint it?
                                    Its just 'its not the done thing' And if u diasgree........
                                    U r disrepectful, selfish, disobedient, irresponsible etc....
                                    'Love' is for the movies and books.
                                    And I am not from Saudi. And by 'our family' I meant, the society I come from.
                                    Peace!

                                      Hi Lotetree,
                                      Hey, the movies made are only(99% of the time) about love stories. That an irony, aint it? )

                                      Because LOVE means so much to us even though we continually fail to have LOVE in our lives?

                                      Its just 'its not the done thing' And if u diasgree........
                                      U r disrepectful, selfish, disobedient, irresponsible etc....

                                      Perhaps there needs to be an peaceful LOVE REVOLUTION in those societies?

                                      'Love' is for the movies and books.

                                      Yes that too...but there is LOVE in real life too?

                                      And I am not from Saudi. And by 'our family' I meant, the society I come from.
                                      Peace!

                                      My appologies...

                                      If not LOVE then perhaps there needs to be a revolution in those societies so that people can at least choose their own marriage partners?

                                      Is LOVE that SELFISH?

                                      Is LOVE a CRIME?

                                      If not why these societies are viewing it as such?

                                      Regards,
