92-year old's Marriage

LOL..Gypsy I would say the clergy found a way to use relegion to manipulate people.

The lure of heaven and the threat of hell...!!

Or should I say Greed and fear?

Somebody told me, "You are what you eat".Now I know why I'm nuts!!

What?

Religion is a way to manipulate and control people. Nothing more.

Wudnt say relegion is stupid coz all of em contain profound truths. But yeah relegion is defenitely a cumbersome wrap for those truths.

Somebody told me, "You are what you eat".Now I know why I'm nuts!!

well it's more then likely related to the phrase Thank God, but less religious like.

I find all religion stupid, for want of a better word, not Islam in particular.

I know linguistically what it is classified as. I have just never heard an explanation to its meaning.

Is it aspects of Islam you find strange or the actions and speech of certain Muslims?

I find most parts of Islam sad. Different points of view I suppose.

Right on to Egypt for banning this type of marriage. Sad to say but in Islam a women does not inherit more than 1/8th of her husbands estate on his death. Her only chance is to be given lots of presents during his lifetime. Which in most cases will not happen because he will need to keep her "trapped."

I think you all have points on this thread. Especially gypsy. We need to stop pitting women against each other and relish who we are as human beings with different ways of communication.

Maryum : Umm Hasan bint Abdullah Alshabrawishi

Thought the marriage is banned coz the girl is under-age and not coz of the age difference

===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409

Philly if you read the whole thread you would see that that is my respone to Ramada constantly saying I've been insulting Asian women, which I haven't been doing. I have been saying over and over and over again that men should stop trying to pit Western and Asian women against each other, that women are women regardless of which background they come from and that we have enough problems to deal with without fighting amongst ourselves in a vain attempt to be 'perfect' women.

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

Guess you are right, brit. But just another two bits of mine before I leave.

Whoever thinks Asian women are docile n all, should meet some of the spitfires I've had the 'honor' of being friends (read both fighting and havin good times)with during my college years n evn now....the whole idea/stereotype of the non-aggressive Asian women would be wiped out in no time!!

Somebody told me, "You are what you eat".Now I know why I'm nuts!!

britexpat..don't ruin our fun!!!

May i suggest that we let this thread run its course now.. I think everyone has voiced their opinions and where they stand on the matter..

Abu American.. One last question..

In you earlier posting, You say "Even I don't want one. I got the best German there was and ran, I get married again and it wont be to a westerner."

I thought you "were" married!

Um ok...so yes I guess if you want to hear it then you're wife is wonderfully subserviant and she lives only for you and being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And obviously she is a thousand times better then Western women, who are arrogant divas, because she (lol) got a gem like you. There you happy now?

Isn't this comment a great example of what you said I was doing? Hmmm. I know you will say you were only being sarcastic to make your point but you need to lay off the hater ade! Might I also suggest a 12 step program at haters anonymous. However I can see how my original post makes it seem like I was instigating so my bad.

Anyway there is a difference between being a diva and being independent. My wife (who is an American Muslimah) works, shares her opinions yet she isn't a diva. So my posts weren't intended as a damning judgement of western women. I respect any woman from any part of the world who is holdin it down and taking care of her business. So we should accordingly not assume that just because Asian women appear to be more docile, they are just doormats for their husbands.

My beef is that certain women in response to the wrongs of the past have taken a stance that makes them no better then the men they accuse of are responding to. In reality Allah created us to be in need of each other. Any reasonable man won't be complete without a woman and vice verse. So if we all were more concerned about how to please our own spouses, and stopped hatin on other people's relationships we would all be happier.

Only Abu American got the point! Are any of you here familiar with the phrase 'Hoist by one's own petard'? Well look it up ladies(?), then look at your posts and know that you have well and truly hoisted yourselves.

Now as Abu suggests, I'm going to leave you all to your petty little selves in your cosy little chat room and disappear into the blue yonder. I would like to say it was nice to know you all, I'd like to say that but...

I wish u had some C.S

lol

Strangest part Winn is I never even made any sterotypes about Asian women and this guy just went off. Obviously he's got some deep seated issues with Western women. :S Really good luck to his poor wife.

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

Well, Ramada aren't you doing the same thing

(to supernurse n gypsy) you get sick n tired of ppl doing with your wife.("I get sick and tired of the prejudice and stereotyping she is sometimes subjected to, usually by europeans and mostly by brits."). I'm talking abt the freebie/pickup thing u mentioned above. So whats the difference between you n the ppl u r 'sick n tired of'?

As to Western Men marrying Asian women, do we need to generalise? Maybe western men travel more than their female counterparts...i mean more as in more number of men, so more of w.men marry asian women than w.women marrying a.men

Maybe they tend to get fascinated by a person from an alien culture.

Or may be its just abt two individuals meeting at some part of the world n hitting it off.

Do we need to look for patterns in how a human being connects with another?

Somebody told me, "You are what you eat".Now I know why I'm nuts!!

As for the news item here, yeah...what this man needs is a nurse!

I think in most countries, consummation of this marriage(if it happens)would be called 'rape' and rightly so. The question of consent doesnt arise with a minor.

Somebody told me, "You are what you eat".Now I know why I'm nuts!!

Away to the bar for a few freebies and a quick pick-up is it? You better express your opinions with some respect in the future, instead of applying the gutter language, morality and idealogy of whatever cr**holes you were brought up in to other people.

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

Very truthful opinion you have there. But I'm not being idealistic or anything. If Gov. is unable to protect and assist its people, then it should simply shut up and not enforce this ban, simply because the girl can sell herself cheaper down the street. Think of all the indignity and diseases out of this mess.

It also happens in developed counties, as many master this kind of (scam) marriage out of greed not poverty. How many old women are marrying young boys and vice versa?

The age difference in the Article is still overwhelmingly disgusting me!

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

I think you are being very idealistic. It would be nice, but it will never happen.

Whilst I was working in Saudi Arabia, there were many cases of Older Saudis going off to Egypt or India and marrying much younger women - usually by offering a large dowry to the family.. Most times, the guy would come back after a while and leave the poor woman in her home country..

Despite the fact that I am totally against the government interfering in the personal lives of their people, i.e the right to choice and opinion, yet I see the case is a true violation and at all levels unacceptable for an old fossil to marry a green child!!.

Along with the ban, the Gov. should set a regulation to have to send a social worker for investigation and provide a suitable financial assistance or create source of income, if poverty is evident. (Some marry too old women or men although they are not poor)

As for the money deposit in banks by the old foreign husband planning to marry a young woman, I've never heard about that before, in my country. If true, it's humiliating indeed because it is an official trafficking regulated by the Gov. even if intentions are meant for the protection of the girl and her family.

May none of us live the moment where they have to sell themselves or their loved ones for survival.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

if some middle aged Western guy marries a lovely young Asian woman...yahoo!!!!! The motives may be judged but I've seen many less than attractive older guys find a lot of happiness with their new partners and a chance to be a Dad for the first time for some. Maybe the women do get some perks they wouldn't have had otherwise but who is to say who deserves what in this crazy world. I learned many years ago that I am not here to judge others nor do I begrudge them whatever happiness they can find. Live and let live.

LOL, oh no here's the best part:

"And as for pro's, where will both of you be tonight? Trying to pick up some guy who doesn't know any better no doubt? Maybe get a few drinks and a meal out of him? Maybe dump him after giving him false expectations? Ask yourself who are the pro's?!"

So what Ramada is saying here, is that Western women go out on a date and lead the men on (aka: don't sleep with them) whereas Asian women don't do this. So I guess what he's saying is Asian women sleep with every guy who buys them dinner?

Ramada get a clue, I'mn telling you to stop with silly sterotypes that make Asian women and Western women feel like they're competing with each other, and what do you do, respond with more streotypes. Good job genius.

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

You have hit the nail on the head. Many of these women are looking to get a better life for themselves and their families. There is nothing wrong with that. You could say that it is a form of "arranged" marriage.

If at the end of the day, both parties are happy, then where is the harm?

You implicitly insult my wife every time you post your stupid ideas of what an asian woman actually is! Unfortunately, you are both too stupid to realise it. And as for pro's, where will both of you be tonight? Trying to pick up some guy who doesn't know any better no doubt? Maybe get a few drinks and a meal out of him? Maybe dump him after giving him false expectations? Ask yourself who are the pro's?!

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

well said Mr. Ramada...i adore you for standing up for you wife. God Bles you both and may you stay happy together forever

actually, having read the male prospective of these relationships it sounds as if these women are nothing but live in paid prostitutes cum housemaids......nice...

ok, i'll change...I'll be submissive, I'll cook clean look after baby AND bring in a better wage than my husband...I'll be devoid of any personality......and then my hubby will bugger orf...yeah, thats good.....you know, there are men that actually enjoy a banter with their wives, enjoy women that make them laugh and prefer women not to be submissive, IMHO that would make for an exceedingly boring marriage.....

I'm sorry, when did I racially insult your wife? When I said men should stop trying to make Western women and Asian women compete by spreading falicies, generalizations and sterotyping?

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

Well said, most of these girls have nothing and no hope for the future, but you will never manage to explain their true situation to anyone who has not seen it for themselves.

And as for you Gypsy, you are the one reinforcing cultural sterotypes, not me! Anyone who racially insults or stereotypes my wife is going to take the immediate and serious consequences.

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

Your aim was not to play on sterotypes, yet you said

"So the bottom line is that western women have some competition which is here to stay. Stop crying, get used to it, and step your game up"

Basically telling Western women to stop being independent (Divas) and start being more submissive (Like Asian women, who according to you are only: concerned about making their husbands happy) . Good job not playing to the sterotypes.

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

My aim was not to be play to the stereotypes. However I don't understand why as westerners we are so judgemental of people from other places. It is true we have been exposed to many things that people in other parts of the world can only dream of. However we seem to have this notion that if people don't do things the western way, then they are backwards, oppressive, etc. Personally, I think that to a certain extent we are taught to be selfish which in turn affects the quality of our relationships. This is why in many cases we tend to focus on our own pleasure and pursuit of happiness regardless of what implications it may have on the lives of others.

I also understand that not all of us fit the above mentioned discription. However, I believe that people should correct themselves before judging others. Therefore I am being harder on the group I belong to in order that we may take clean up our own houses.

Jasmine, it's an unfortunate fact that there are women everywhere in the world that have to do things to survive. The sad thing is that certain western men spread the idea that its better to marry poor Asian women because, they're better wives or mothers or blah blah blah, which makes these poor girls prey to these men who are simply out looking for a submissive woman to take advantage of. These men also talk badly about Western women, calling us ignorant or arrogant, therefore making us feel as if we are competeting against the Asian women, which is untrue. The unfortunate result of this is that there are many Asian women who end up in Western countries getting the snot beat out of them by their western hubbies with no one to turn to because the western women are jealous of them.

If men could just marry women without justifying the whoever they chose is better for whatever reason, the world would be a happier place.

yeah right, as long as those DOM "dirty old men" will not treat them as a trash, then its ok.

yah jasmine...it so called "SURVIVAL"

well, i came from developing country. and thats actually the trend, u cant blame those poor girls out there who cant find employment coz of lack of education due to poverty. basic needs is food, so if a man proposes to them that kind of things, why not grab the opportunity? no one would really understand them, but it's called "survival"

Then why do you continue to reinforce cultural sterotypes that hurt and devalue women?

Love is BLIND.. AGE or RACE is not the issue regarding marriage but the wealth lies within? yes, sometimes for some reasons.. but not all western old man had the wealth ..THey are also like us ASIANS that eat RICE, DRINK WATER and SLEEP ... and beside all will die and buried undergound or cremated and back to dust is just they same.. for western or asian people..

Ramada i was being sarcastic...its totally stereotyping..

hi! everyone..am new in qatarliving but i always read your post and comments i've learned a lot for them. this is my first time to make comments.uhmm yes alexa you are very fortunate to be a western Lady. Being first class citizen those really make difference. I feel so sad for my fellow asian who was unfortunate to be educated. And have to do such things just to give good life for there family back home.it was a oppurtunity for them. Am not justifying there acts but we cannot blame them either. i myself wanted to have western passport coz even salary vary if you are a western even for proffesional.And i have one question why do people critize asian women being married to western guy but not same as western girls being married to asian guys

I don't think it has anything to do with lack of experience, I think it has to do with what men shove in women's faces all the time to make us feel inadequate.

What you say is true and well said. Unfortunately, westerners who lack experience find it difficult to understand and accept that this is in fact the case.

What I do know that when he getss to the age of 99 he won't be allowed to open up a free web page. lol lol read this today.

in reagards to the actual topic, at 92 I highly doubt he would have been able to consummate the marriage, also in a couple of years she could have been left very wealthy. Maybe not such a bad arrangement, so long as she agrees to it.

Visit www.qatarhappening.com

Sorry to say this but it seems obvious that you and your buddies know very little about the world in general and men in particular. I would suggest that the attitudes you express in this thread are not truly genuine but are the result of mutual indoctrination. In other words, you have come to believe certain things simply because your 'friends' require it of you. Better wake up, make up your own mind about things and don't 'go with the flow' just because that is the easiest route.

Why do we constantly pit women against women? This is the barrier to true equality with men you know, nothing to do with who makes their man feel more like a man or who works harder, or who's a better mother, it's our constantly allowing MEN to pit us against each other, so that rather then competiting with men we are in constant competition with each other. :(

Come on Alexa, we middle eastern and Asian women do everything to please our men...we dont have an opinion,we arent aggressive, infact we are very submissive, our aim is just to please our hubbies...Didnt you know that? Our life is about them only!!!!. This is what we live for...

Totally agree Brit...talk about stereotyping...

well said bella....

To be honest, I am surprised by your comments because you seem to be playing to a sereotype of both Western and Non-western women.

if she agreed what is the problem? marriage is blessed in the eyes of God.

In my opinion, many western women (not all but many) need to get over themselves. They judge other women as being "poor, oppressed, uneducated, etc." because they are concerned about making their husbands happy (to be fair as men, we should also should be concerned about making our wives happy). Perish the thought that in this day and age any women should still care about that!

First of all who crowned you as queens of the universe? What makes you think that that bald, pot bellied, ex special forces guy went to Asia because he is not able to find a mate in the west? Maybe he just is tired of dealing with the "divas" of the west.

So the bottom line is that western women have some competition which is here to stay. Stop crying, get used to it, and step your game up.

I am a Brit married to an asian lady who is nine years younger than me, we have been married for fifteen years and have a young daughter. I get sick and tired of the prejudice and stereotyping she is sometimes subjected to, usually by europeans and mostly by brits. If people are stupid enough to judge others based only on race then I pity them, but I tell you this. Based on my own experience, I would never have married a european woman (though I had some close shaves) because I found most of them to be truly ignorant and arrogant, not to mention condescending and patronising in their dealings with females of other races. There is a good deal of evidence of those same nasty and small minded traits within this thread, and I just thought I'd put you straight on that.

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

I personally know only one Euro/asian couple. However, I also know at least 15 American/Asian couples. The common thread in all is that the men are all ex forces and all have been married at least once before. In the majority of cases there is a significant age difference between the husband and wife.

Having said that. They are all happiymaried.

Then of course there is the fact that young asian girls are often pressured by their own families to marry much older men, as long as the guy is rich and has some social status...

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

I take note and agree with your last post. There are individuals who take advantage.

Aren't the women in the Red Light District taking advantage of the man's sexual need and weak state of mind?

Game recognizes game and you're looking kinda unfamiliar right now... -- Riley Freeman

I do not believe it is so simple as they were not suited for each other. I remember discussing with friends in Germany when I lived there that it was national news that German men were marrying and bringing in so many Auslanders to Germany and the consequences that this would have on the nation.

It can't be so simple as being suited for each other if that is the case, can it? Does it not show that there is perhaps a deeper cultural issue?

Please do not think I am dissing Germany. On the contrary I loved my time there and would move back again if circumstances dictated. I am not sure of the length of time you have been away from living in Germany and even the age difference between us but I assure you it that this was enough of a story to be brought up in national news.

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

I only mentioned German women because Infinit brought up his experience from 1979 that coincided with mine the the late 90's to mid 2005.

I am sure that there are aggressive women in other nationalities but the conversation was regarding Germans and I have not out right dealt with the other nationalities you mentioned in such a manner as I have with Germans.

What I mean by aggressive is that the woman seems to desire being dominant over the other person. This can be in a lot of areas.

But when we speak in context to the cases of German men marrying foreign women as I have dealt with there it was usually to do with the fact that they felt more secure in their manhood from having their wife be dependent on them.

They didn't wish to control them, just to feel as if they were needed. And individuals I worked with in this category told me they never got that from German women. So they married Fillipinos, Moroccan, Korean and Eastern European respectively.

I thought you were a 66 year old sand expert from the Western sahara!!??

Seriously though, do you not think German women are pretty aggressive? It was definitely my experience there as a young man.

It is fantastic if you and your husband do not have any issues regarding this. I am sure there are German women who find the ways of their parents correct as you probably do. But the younger German women (my generation) would look at you (as a stay at home Mom) and think to themselves that you are dominated by your husband just by the "mere" fact that you are a stay at home Mom.

Well you all appear to know what you are talking about, so tell me, how many of you know or are friendly with a couple in a mixed (Euro/Asian) marriage?

"If you make something idiot-proof, the world will create a better idiot." (Grave's Law)

Infitinit,

It was still very much a topic of discussion and contention when I was there as late as 2005.

The men do not want an aggressive German woman who feels that she can do everything on her own. By marrying a foreigner they have someone who is dependent on them and makes them feel like they are men in more ways than just the bed. It is psychological.

Game recognizes game and you're looking kinda unfamiliar right now... -- Riley Freeman

While I was in Germany in 1979

This was an issue,

lots of men getting married to Asians,

one of the points that they talked about was that the men wanted a women that will take care of the house the kids and the him and not complain and ask for equality..

yes they might be ugly..but that does not mean they are not good and kind,

The last thing one can do is judge by apperance

Math 4 All

sorry don't like using the sweeping term Asians.....but I think we all get the gist...Unless we live under a big stone

well, makes you wonder really, why these men go with Asian women is cos they're so ugly even their own won't touch em with a bargepole!!!!

well, it happened, i cant say much further coz she was my patient.

infinitl...and what would they need from these Asian ladies that they cannot get back home?..mmm?

I have one question here,

is the marriage done with the girls exceptance..or is it a leagle one where the dad represnts the girl?

if she has a true saying in it, she will get what she excpted, if not, then it is another issue...

As for Asin - Western Young - old marriage,

this issue was once pointed out to the fact that the asian ladies provide the Western men with what they need and can not get from thier own ladies back home..The feeling of manhood..

yeah, God thats so desperate poor buggers...waking up to those disgusting pervs must make them sick...

Alexa, I find it interesting that you have an insight into what they will have to go through. Care to elaborate?

Some woman (and men I suppose) will go through amazing things to get a western passport. Whether it is because of their plight in their country of origin or because they are looking to gain a foot hold on western life is debatable.

still disgusting...both of them..

I find any elderly man marrying a young woman revolting......I don't buy the they are in love who cares about age......rubbish..the old man usually has money......end of

Good. I am glad to see you seem to be a person balanced in your opinions.

I have no problem if someone finds this revolting or another adjective they want to use to describe it. But It burns me up when they have that feeling solely because it is an Arab male marrying a 'poor' female. Yet if you give them the Smith case they say 'good for her!'

Game recognizes game and you're looking kinda unfamiliar right now... -- Riley Freeman

No, there is a 75 year difference in the Egyptian case. And a 63 year difference in the Smith case.... 12 years difference between the two respective age differences!
