wow what sort of wives are they looking for? If their families do arranged marriages perhaps that may be the way forward?
You stole my reply.They're supposed to go to their Islamic center/masjid to ask the Imam (leader) or administration if there are women looking to marry. Then they would start the process, etc.
Generally, that's how they would find a wife.
Its odd that they asked you to find them a wife.
You stole my reply.
Tell them to ask their Imam. Why are they asking you if you arent Muslim?
Its a tad suspect.
Because this is how (some/most) Muslim men traditionally find a woman, if they have not found one on their own.Whoa, it's that deep? Why is it suspect that dude asked her about finding a mate? Please explain why ladies. This is interesting indeed. Why do they have to go to the Imam?
The casualness of marriage that is associated with western culture does not exist in Islam, at least to those who claim to be pious. They would not approach marriage in this way. Even the most sinning Muslims I know try to at least get the marriage part right. It is a very important religious obligation, and not something to take lightly. Since marriage is so essential to the religion itself it would naturally be centered around the religious home i.e. the Imam and the masjid. Also going to the Imam is proper Islamic manners since men really arent to be approaching women in such a way.It also would make no sense to ask someone who obviously has a different center of reference to be apart of something so religious. For the record, Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian or Jewish women, but its highly discouraged and many look down on it especially since there are plenty of single Muslimahs. Hope that sheds some light on it for you.Whoa, it's that deep? Why is it suspect that dude asked her about finding a mate? Please explain why ladies. This is interesting indeed.

This is really interesting. My question is what would happen if a Muslimah would marry a Non-Muslim?
The guy would have to convert to islam. A muslimah is not allowed to marry a non-muslim. I am living this situation, and it is aweful (i am muslim and my boyfriend is catholic).
I am discouraged and feel I should have not put myself in this situation in the first place, but I thought love, understanding and compromise could conquer all. Both sides are proving to be intolerant. I think we're soon going to break up because of this.
