Reader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men
in response to reader comment: married to algerian muslim

How old is the eldest Son? Did he have papers?

I saw an Algerian that was very nice and lovely to me. Only to disappear for 5 weeks during Ramadaan. If he ever refers to his Sister...I would suspect he is married and the sister is the wife. We were close in age but he had been married for 8 years to a women here with no children and has his greencard.

Do I think Muslim or Algerians are bad. Of course not. 4 months is really a short time. I really didnt figure things out until 6 months. When he was pushing for marriage. Which I was not going to do after 4 months. I know he sent money back home and was constantly being hounded to send money and he only made minimum wage. There is a huge loyality to the family. Its hard for us Americans to understand that when there are no jobs people move out of the country to work - pretty common - better than starving in their eyes and that is why the family supports it. Good Luck
