I found this to be a remarkable read.

I did a little checking on this. The link is to an archived version of the 'InfoUSA' guide put out by the State Department. Most of the documents on the site vannrox linked to can be found on the State Department's web site also. However, this one can't be found at state.gov. I wonder was it removed to avoid offending the Saudis?

It does say, though, that a document called 'Marriage to Saudis' is available from the consulate in Riyadh.

Caveat emptor!

Girls, marry a nice well-off farmer boy from Iowa. You'll have a good life, and be able to eat bacon, ham, poke chops and barbequed ribs as an extra added attraction.

Only one rule necessary. Don't marry a muslim. Saudi or otherwise.

It would be the height of stupidity to marry a Saudi.

A good percentage of Saudis are closet terrorists, and the rest are terrorist supporters.

I'd be so bold as to say the only good Saudi is a .....

One American wife discovered that her Saudi husband had married her best friend, also and (sic) American, while he was on vacation in the U.S.

This is interesting. He married his second wife while in the US. Every state in the union prohibits bigamy. The state that issued the license for the second marriage would not not have issued it if it had known about the first marriage. He would have had to lie on the application for a marriage license.

I know you are getting grief from some readers here, but this is actually a valuable document and I for one am glad you posted it. My own personal belief is that "friends don't let friends marry fundamentalist Muslims," and this information should be *required reading* for anyone thinking about it.

[Revolting cat!]

How many times have we heard (here also): "but people are the same everywhere!"? Take my word, this naive notion is uniquely American, folks. We feed such nonsense to our children from kindergarten through college and let them grow up to become naive women who marry foreign barbarians only to wake up in Riyadh wearing burkhas!

WHAT TO EXPECT AND CONSIDER

Quality of Life

You will live in a desert
have NO rights whatsoever
have to put up with slavery while your husband f$%^s goats, sheep and camels on your 'days off'
can expect to be beaten severely if you dont dress up in black robes in a hellhole desert
finally, kiss your car goodbye, FOREVER.

"Many newly married couples move in with the groom's parents, in a sprawling villa which may house several other siblings and their wives and families."

If all else fails.....this would deifinately be the 'deal-breaker' here....LOL.

And I thought Irish guys were bad! ;)

Expatriates who have lived and worked for years in the Kingdom may never meet the
wife of a close Saudi friend and, according to custom,
should never so much as inquire about her health.

Now there is a warm, congenial kind of place to live... (yeah, that's sarcasm)

Romance...and they myth of the arab Sheik on his white charger taking the American women
off to her dream palace in the exotic desert oasis kingdom....

And then her alarm went off......

Her daddy tried to warn her...but she went off to college & watches Oprah.....and knows better than he...


And politicans have been bought off with petrol graff....and arent in any position to 'rock the boat' (it's hard to rock the boat when you are on your knees)

They will never cross the Saudi money machine.....

If you can find Christ among the demonic princes...you do well.....

imo
