Salam Alikum and Hello Everybody,
I know that there is numerous topics about how to get married here in Saudi Arabia! And I believe I went through them all, however, I really need some precise help if applicable!
I am a Muslim Arab residing in Saudi who wishes to marry a Christian European who also resides in Saudi! When we decided to get married, the only issue I was concerned about was my family blessings which I finally got ! I dint expect to have other problems when I want to conduct the marriage!
It seems that in order for a Muslim to marry a Christian here in Saudi, the female should convert to Islam! Although in Islam, it is OK if a muslim man marries a christian woman!
Our Embassies are both of no help as both cannot give us any certificates here, I have been to many lawyers all are not aware of the rules here and I went to Nikah court twice with no luck!
They requests a letter from the sponsor for the woman and that was obtained as well!
One Lawyer actually said he can arrange it for some big money -which I dont mind - but he went into vacation and I cannot reach him!
Is anyone familiar of such a case? Can an Embassy other that ours get us married? Although I want a religious marriage and I dont want my Fiance to convert, it is just not fair and disrespectful!
Maybe someone knows a good lawyer?
I would appreciate any help as we are going into a bad phase right now!
Much Appreciated!
