Qatar + Marriage

[Qatarifreak]

Just had a curious question. Since I have been living practically my whole life abroad and will be moving back to Doha in several months I would like to know if a Qatari is allowed to marry or even date someone who is not Qatari or even not an Arab. What are the repercussions?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

29/09/2006 الدوحة - القبس:

وجه مدير مكتب الزواج في قطر عبد العزيز الأنصاري دعوة صريحة الى المتزوجين من مواطنين ومقيمين بضرورة التفكير في الزواج من ثانية وثالثة من أجل القضاء على ظاهرة العنوسة التي أخذت معدلاتها تتزايد بشكل مخيف في قطر.
وقال الأنصاري مخاطبا المصلين وسط نظرات إعجاب وتقدير: لا تخشوا زوجاتكم، الرجل لا يخشى زوجته، فكروا بالزواج من امرأة ثانية وثالثة، يجب أن نقضي معا على ظاهرة العنوسة.
وكان الأنصاري يتحدث في أحد مساجد الدوحة مساء الاربعاء في درس مقتضب ألقاه عقب صلاة التراويح وكانت 'القبس' حاضرة بالصدفة.
وأضاف الأنصاري إن 50 في المائة تقريبا من الفتيات في المجتمع القطري قد بلغن سن العنوسة ويبحثن عن أزواج ، لافتا الى أن كثيرا منهن يلجأن الى أساليب غير مشروعة للفت انتباه الشباب.

وقال إن بعض تلك الفتيات يرتدين عبايات ضيقة ملتصقة بأجسامهن ويضعن أحدث خطوط الماكياج على وجوههن، ومن ثم يتركن خصلا من شعورهن تتدلى من تحت الشال على جبينهن، ويذهبن بعد ذلك الى السوق، لماذا؟ يتساءل الأنصاري مجيبا: من أجل أن يلفتن انتباه الشباب، بحيث عندما يرى الشاب الفتاة بهذا الشكل يعجب بها ويتبعها الى بيتها ليطلبها من ذويها.
وتحدث مدير مكتب الزواج في قطر بحسرة عن المشاكل التي بدأت تظهر في المجتمع القطري نتيجة إحجام الشباب عن الزواج وتزايد معدلات العنوسة بين الجانبين (الشاب والفتاة)، وقال إن هناك مشكلة الزنى التي بدأت تحدث بمعدلات كبيرة، إضافة الى مشكلة اللواط، وأضاف إن السحاق أصبح موجودا أيضا، فبعض الفتيات في المدارس يتزوجن بعضهن البعض، فقد أصبحت ظاهرة مألوفة قيام فتاتين بوضع الخواتم في أصابعهن كناية عن ارتباطهما، ومن ثم تعتبران نفسيهما متزوجتين ببعضهما البعض

أشار الأنصاري الى أن الشباب القطري يتذرع بغلاء المهور في تبرير أسباب إحجامه عن الزواج، لكن الحقيقة غير ذلك على الإطلاق، فالشاب القطري لا يتورع عن شراء رقم مميز لجواله بمائة الف ريال، وتأتيه فاتورة الهاتف نهاية الشهر بأربعة أو خمسة آلاف ريال، وينفق في إحدى إجازاته أو سفراته الى الخارج 40 أو50 الف ريال، وعندما يسأل عن أسباب عدم زواجه حتى الآن، يتذرع بغلاء المهور، أي عذر هذا؟ يتساءل الأنصاري.. وكانت تبدو على محياه ملامح حسرة وألم شديدين.

Qatarifreak, I think a Qatari guy will not recieve permession to marry a foreigner since the government is trying to decrease the number of Qatari women not married. THat is absurd reason. Vice versa is true I think. THe main way to get away from that is to travel abroad to get married. I might not be true here.

The article above talks about Abulaziz Al Ansari, who is reported lobbying to mosque imams to promote Qatari guys marrying for the second and third time in order to decreasing single Qatari women. I think he shoud first marry someone else, and then preach it! Qatari women and men protested his comments. What is this guy thinking?

The forum was insanely slow the last few days. But I think it's fine now... It's pretty fast atm.

[Qatarifreak]

Wow! It's kind of difficult to be progressive country and to force men to marry multiple wives due to the high number of unmarried women. I feel upset that anyone would prevent me from marrying the person I love.>(

Some people in Qatar think that Qatari men should not marry non-Qatari women because Qatari women are becoming more single. Apparently they do not care about love marrying the person you love.

[salman515]

who cares about love,just get married and have children.

[Halawala]

Of course we have a marriage fund, with a free plot of land, some money, ect.. like other countries.

[HASHAS]

i heard that the cabinet has alrady approved the marriage fund project ,is that true

[Halawala]

Its been there for a long time, but maybe the new fund is a change or modification.

Qatarifreak if the girl's parents agree then you might... and i say it again might be able to marry her but if not and she is hiding it then if you really love her, leave her because you will cause her horrible problems, don't play romeo because not only you will have a bad ending but the girl will have a horrific one... :( besides are you a muslim or a convert? and do you have a well paying job?

[Qatarifreak]

I'm a muslim who wants to marry a non-Arab, so the whole parents accepting me is not an issue. Simple as that. I have lived in the US practically my whole life. I'm wanting to find out the laws in Qatar. Does the government have any power to interfere in my private life? Obviously this would be a major factor in my decision to go and live in Qatar or not.

I have 2 wives since 10 days, anybody has any objection.

Qatari I don't think the government will interfere because your not qatari nor the girl is qatari... I suppose it is like in Kuwait and the rest of the gulf states, you can get married since your not a Kuwaiti and your marrying a non-Kuwaiti girl.

Well I will tell you mabrook in advance because I believe everything will go well for you :) but a reminder! the government might have liberal and conservative laws try to obey them and don't try to show the locals that your ''American'' show them that your a Muslim that way you will have a nice and smooth blending time :).

Mabrook ya zx!! wallah ana far7anlak inshallah ant Gadha! ;)

[Qatarifreak]

I am Qatari, but have been living abroad my whole life. So this might complicate things. Maybe if I get married outside then it'll be a safer bet.
