[quote=JABAROOTOO,300822]Dear Sonia,
The warning bells are ringing for your friend.  Marriage is intended to be a safe haven for a man and a woman to enjoy each other and to have and nurture a family.

We humans are spiritual beings no matter what be believe in and this is an important aspect of each of our lives.  Your girlfriend, after less than one year, is struggling with serious questions about her life values and how she wants to live the rest of her life.

Gently remind her that she will struggle with these same questions every day of her married life. If she has reservations now about her decision to marry someone with a value system so different from her own and one that places so many restrictions on her life, not his, then things will only get worse after she marries.

One of the saddest stories I ever read was that of an American woman who married the love of her life (a Muslim man) while he was living in America.  One day he just decided to take his family back to Iran with no prior consultation with her.  Because she loved him and he loved her, she naturally went with him.

She and their daughter were then expected to live under the same restrictive and extreme conditions as all the other Muslim women in the country.  A lifestyle very alien to her own!  A lifestyle that began to suffocate and smother her physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Her husband although he loved her was unable to support her in her desire to live her own value systems or to teach them to their daughter.

After several years she managed to escape and has since written a book about this tragic turn around in her life.

Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody is also a Movie on DVD with Sally Fields.  I recommend you ask your friend to have a look at it before she makes her final decision.
