Ok,I have this question. I recently met this girl. She is sweet and caring kind and all the things I have ever wanted in a girl.

I am american she is from the UAE. I know that in her culture marriages are arranged unlike here in the U.S. We are very much in love and both want to spend our lives together.She will discuss our whole situation with her mother who is the head of her household.(Since her father died years ago).

Her mother too,had a "love marriage" to her husband as opposed to an arranged one.This girl I'm in love with Zoya,is more liberal then most of her people. She works as a home decorator in the UAE. She says that if her father was alive she probably would not be allowed to work. She is taking care of her mother who is in poor health. What can I exspect from her mother do you suppose? How can I make my intent clear and in a proper way without offending or hurting my chances more for eventually getting hitched with her.(I mean how do I talk with her mother. As she is the head of her house.And has the power to condone or forbid an union)

Any and all advice or questions will be appriciated

I wish

Shouldn't this question be in the MARRIAGE section? Marriage - Ask Me Help Desk (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/marriage/)

It takes 2 people to get married. You and your potential wife. The approval of everyone around you can only affect your own decision. For example, if one of your parents forbid you to marry her, you can still go ahead with marrying her. Same thing applies to her. Nor matter who forbids her to marry you, she can still proceed with the marriage.

You can do your part by telling her that you want to get married. But she has the choice to accept or refuse.

How long have you known her, and are you staying in the UAE, if you get married?
