Mixed Race Marriages!

[nudgetheputri1]

Some sister avoid certain ethnicities because they might be known for somethings...
I'm always being told that asians, arabs and somalis are abusive for example, so sisters are already on the fence when meeting a man and he introduces himselfhimselfb. Okay narcasist is what many sisters say.

Like the etnicity is a red flag in itself and the brother needs to go and prove hes not the stereotype...

Thats true, some are abusive, they use physical abuse as a threat to keep your behaviors in line, and good at deceiving people that they are not abusive.

I'm very aware that this happens behind closed doors. A lot of men in my culture, esp in my family weren't raised to communicate well or express themselves properly so they resort to physical means to make a point. Instilling fear and threat in their women to control is one tactic many use. I'm surprised to see how some women are normalized to think this is acceptable part of being in a relationship when this is something that is unacceptable. It doesnt help women dont offer help to other women who struggle.

It is a very "masculine" driven society in Asian cultures but bad apples are everywhere, just need to keep a lookout.

With that being said, you'll never know what the guy is like until we live with them, Allahu Alam. It puts me off marriage sometimes when I hear certain steretypes about men being ACTUALLY true.

A lot of people of certain races/cultures/ethnicities have inferiority complexes based on their own race, which produces unhealthy toxic traits in these individuals, I've seen it a lot in both south asian and east asian cultures, thats why theres the multi billion dollar skin whitening industry in these countries, why some east asian companies commonly use white people in their ads, you have men from these cultures putting white women on a pedestal and cheering on their brothers that have managed to get with a white lady. Its crazy.

Personally I've seen a condescending type of attitude due to this from some sisters, as if they're settling for someone of the same race because they couldn't get a white or arab guy, it put me off looking to marry sisters of the same race as me (south asian) for a while, though I've become more open recently but I'm still wary about that inferiority complex.

Which South Asian are you?

[Muslim First]

Why?

I'm Somali and tribes are very important, so if she isn't from a certain tribe it'd be ww3 .. That's how I grew up, she must be from a certain tribe, and don't even think about marrying outside the ethnicity!

If the family meets a girl who is either a revert or non somali, they'd usually make them feel bad since their son has decided to marry outside the ethnicity. Depends on the family though, they could be abusive for sure but again it depends on the individual, main advice I'd give is to make sure you do your homework on the individual you want to settle down with.

I agree sis, and im not saying the stereotypes are true, but many men that didnt study the deen do religious abuse where they will force the woman to do things because of islam when he idnt giving her her rights anyway etc..

Yes, my in laws were very good to me ma sha Allah, but i know of a girl that isnt somali that married a somali and her in laws did sihr on her. The marriage broke and she is still struggling immensely with jin

Walaykumus salam.

I personally do not see a problem with mixed raced marriages. Times are changing.

[Mufti Cheesecake]

Which South Asian are you?

Bangladeshi.

[Eorlingas]

Bangladeshi.

So you know of some Bangladeshi sisters who primarily wanted to marry a white or Arab, but after failing to achieve this they then settled for a bengali boy?

honestly for me thats sad to hear but i appreciate it at the same time not every family is open minded like that

and like you said in the other post if they make the gyals a living hell just due to her ethnicity and race then yea probably not worth putting a poor gyal through that

Woah, that's bang out of order tbh. I do feel for you bro.

I bet this makes it damn hard to find someone who is compatible with you.

Not necessarily. I live in an area with a bunch of Somalis from my tribe. But the limitation isn't part of the Deen, if she's Muslim and everything checks out who cares where she comes from? lol I grew up in the west not back home.

[Abu julaybeeb]

I can only marry from within my tribe lol.

Your a man marry whoever you want no one can do nothing to you physically unless your being peovided for and rely on that source of income

Its not isolated to ethnicity, but more so encompasses the whole race. I used to notice sometimes south asian women in general, whether they were bengali, indian, pakistani, etc., would have condescending deprecating tones towards me, I used to think its just a thing in our south asian cultures, but after talking to other people I found out that it occurs in many other non white communities. I'm sure you know of like those brown dudes that just chase after white or arab girls, and like whenever theres a white revert sister she's sometimes preyed on by some Muslim men. I know in the black communities black women are pretty vocal complaining about how black men are the most likely to marry outside of their race, and the black men complain about how black women don't treat them well. This attitude I've experienced from some south asian women, is not something I've ever experienced with women of other races, and its not like I'm treating any of them differently or unkindly, I don't flirt with them or anything. This one bengali sister a while ago I was getting serious with for marrying, and looking back now I realize she wasn't treating me with respect, this one time I remember she started talking about how hot this guy in her class was (I think he was either white or latino, I don't rememeber), I was really young and naive back then.

Oh I thought you were living in Bangladesh so found it strange that the women there would have this aspiration, but it appears you are in a western country.
