hi shark
I have not been to Qatar, but I have been shoping for a good airfare...
This lady refused her parents efforts to set up meetings with guys that wanted her hand in marriage. She refused, and never did meet these guys that the parents had arranged for her. The wars raged with her parents, for several years, and indeed, she is a remarkably stron individual. She's worn her parents out.
She is 28 years old.
Her parents do not know of our relationship, but she believes they may resighn to her determination. If it will preserve her relationship with them, I will certainly go along with whatever is expected of us. Whatever conditions may come, if Qatar law or culture presents as overly ideotic, we will be looking to bypass Qatar alltogether and get on with our lives. We have no intention to live in the place. It's only a marriage. Our marriage. If the state, or her family don't want to be a part of that...they can watch our dust.
