Your answers will be really helpful. thanks in advance to all.
i am a filipina converted to muslim 1 year ago and my boyfriend is a muslim from pakistan but born here in qatar. he is married with 1 daughter. his family somehow knows about our relationship but they are against it and didn't accept us to be together. he tried to tell them that he wants to marry me and they said no.
can we get married secretly? or anyone can help us? maybe later on his family can accept us... we are not loosing hope.

girl according to their religion if the the FIRST WIFE says no it means no chance for u to get married. coz he should get approval from her.

A few years ago there was great excitement in the press about Qatari's marrying 2nd wives secretly and doing so with very limited rights for the 2nd wife. Dr Qaradawi confirmed that it was legal but not preferred. I also heard that only Qatari's were allowed more than one wife here. Why do we get ourselves into these situations?

I am not well aware of the rules of marriage here in Qatar but I think there is no problem if you both are ready and accept each other. As far as parents are concerned, they cannot force anybody to marry as he is not a child. He has his own life to live...and he can marry upto 4 ladies if he want. In most of the cases this happens, but later they will adjust
