because you won't have a life if you're not married here...you'll be considered a criminal doing something illegal if you're not married here...you'll always be cautious of everything you do in public, and you'll get worried every time you pass by a check point or a police car...That's why marriage is important for life here...since you probably make more money than what you have dreamed of making in your own country, you start to tolerate all of these rules, and then maybe go on vacation and enjoy your freedom for a month or so...

YAY!
