Do you marry a woman/man that you meet over the internet?

[ikram24]

Many Cheikh of Islam said that it's not bad that a woman tell a ma "Marry me"... because she is asking him to marry her and not doing something Haram.

i know many who got married via internet,
internet is only a way to know the person as we say in arabic " sabab "...

well first of all ,thanks for the topic cz we are all living in this world and sharing same thoughts and personaly i know many who got married over net whether they are algerian,british, irish or french.... so the last i was talking to was a friend in algeria she told me that she met this danish guy who lives in london

they started it as a friendship,one day he traveled all the way from london to algiers,he met the girl and parents , now they are fiance and they are getting married april 07

if we think as oldfassion algerian way we might end up having another civil war over this girl but guys with all my respect to our algeria and religion,what did this girl did wrong ? non right ! if she waited for her dad to find her a man we all know she'll never get married , are you gonna tell me because he is danish? i can tell you that i have 5 danish friends they don't even drink alchohol when we go out but my 2 other algerian friends and a moroccan they do and keep n drinking all night long .i don't .

are you gonna tell me cz she spoke to him on d net ?

well i'll tell you something ,if she was not clever enough and have some degree using net she will end up single all her life like many algerian girls are so we don't realy judge others or ask others what's the best for us and respecting to you sir asking this question i would tell you that you are the only one who knows better whats right for you or your family so do what you believe its best respecting to what you know just remember as long as you are not hurting anybody and others ,all is right, i am personaly 32 algerian in uk and single still , i am not thinking to get married yet cz i still have plans,i did travel to france last summer and i saw algerien how they live there i felt so sorry for them and many are married ,what a hard life with the french they are getting

but if one day soon i will make up my mind and get married i will not and thats for sure ask my mum to find that one for me,cz i am the one who is going to live with her ,respecting to my mother of course i am not saying she doesn't have a taste but i will find my one whether in person,over net,by luck ...or in anyway so sir i personaly have no problem getting married over net and most of ppl i know or i spoke to whether are algerian or not they all share this point of view with me so you are not alone

one thing i will make sure and we all should not forget ,that net is a way to know ppl,like you know your wife over your mum or friend or... means you might say no to your mum if you don't like the girl right?

so use the net to know others but do no get married by net and email the ring to her using messenger group to get 2 of your friends as witnesses hhh!

just take your time to get to know the person well and when you feel you are doing the right thing and ready to move to next step ,plan a trip and go ad meet her even parents,be honest and don't give her your word if you find out that she is not what you were expecting but do not use her,or lie to her

tell her i am coming to meet you and be planed do not do more than meeting her and meeting her parents and when you go back take some time to think is this the right think to do and if your answer is yes ,go for it and allah bless you all

and forgive me brothers and sisters if i did say something wrong or may words did hurt any of you in anyway

everyone act as he think he knows and thats my thoughts with all my respect
i hope this did help
god bless us all.

Marriage over internet does work in alot of cases, i married over the net he told all the truth he is algerian and i am arab living in USA he told everything and he was pure but i think the 2 personality clashed and cant be together anymore you just have to know this person more and see them face to face i agree with everyone else who said this. If he has always been dreaming to come to usa or france big red sign but if he never thought abotu marrying abroad and just fell in love with you then do research and bring your parents to meet his or her parents
