Oryx, with all due respect, You are arranging the components of my situation in such a way as to blame me for the actions of others. You are wrong and I would question your motives for doing so. I am looking to marry a person.A fully grown, highly inteligent, educated and remarkably strong willed woman. Finished. Our desire to determine our lives in this way is entirely legitimate. Should her family be in this unfortunate condition, where they believe she and I are commiting some unforgivable offence, than I pitty them, and regret their unhealthy mindset , but I certainly am not responsible for their compromised state of being. They choose to cast out their daughter, or perhaps not. But Oryx, my behaviour is all I own. You said yourself that her brothers may well bury me... are we talking about a sick people ... a sick country? And since when will a damn job make up for these underhanded abusive mindsets towards her. Oh, and there is a list as long as my arm, of shamefull traditions/oppressions etc with which Qatari women are imposed upon. But it's all OK, because they can work? Get real, and face it, the complacency and indifference is deeply entrenched, and disgusting attitudes and beliefs have simply become normalised, to the point where a job covers all sins. What's wrong with a country that coerces it's women to stay put or else? A great deal, as it so happens. Damn.
