Marriage Customs of the Ruling Family

[x.pixie.x]

So they can marry a woman who's from a book religion and don't want to convert into a Muslim. Is she then acceptable by the family too?

[lady blue]

Yes she may keep her religion, however the kids will be brought up as Muslims and Islamic laws will be applied to this marriage.
That said I really doubt that he will marry a non-Muslim or a non-gulf country lady ( that's is only my believe and I have menu reasons supporting this believe) :)

[maharata]

Exactly my point, lady blue. I don't see why he would marry a non-Muslim, as there are so unique Muslim girls out there. In addition, I would be surprised if his choice of wife is non-Muslim.But as the saying goes - love is blind. Who knows?

Yes, he can and I think it will be accept by his family in the end. But if you ask me for my personal view, I think the same like lady_blue: he will marry a muslim lady from UAE or other gulf countries as his first wife.

maharata, I think that he has already made ​​his choice ..... I'm sure he knows that he needs a strong woman who has grown his future tasks.

But if he marries a christian, will be applied to this marriage Muslims and Islamic laws?

[maharata]

I think it depends on the desire of his wife if she wants to convert to Islam or keep her religion. But their future kids unavoiadably will be Muslims, as the children always take their father's religion.
There are a few examples - like Queen Noor of Jordan who converted to Islam. But we also have Rita Hayworth who stayed Christian during her marriage with Prince Aly Khan.

Of course he has made it. But we are just discussing the feasible situations.

Dear all participants here,

after yesterday, in the interest of all forum participants and guests here I would like to ask all of us to note the main theme of this thread. It is not nice when we discuss here for pages about personal feelings and the issue of "marriage customs of the ruling family" completely forgotten. People are turning to TRF to find news about the ruling family of Dubai and not to check our personal battles.

In the members area (members corner) there are numerous opportunities to interact on a personal level. Lets talk about "marriage customs of the ruling family" here only. Thank you for your understanding.

Imanmajed, thank you taking the time to answer questions about your culture. I'm ashamed to say that some of the posters on this forum have been rather rude and ill-mannered toward you and that is unacceptable. Please know that such behavior does not represent all people in the Western world or the Christian religion. I wish you well and I look forward to reading more of your comments.

It seems that a lot of people on here are posting opinions that are based on the internet gossip of schoolgirl fans who have never been to Dubai or met the Al Maktoum family. The bottom line is that unless you know Mahra and the other members of the Al Maktoum family, you can not know how they feel about each other and how they get along. As they say, "Blood is thicker than water", so I have hopes that if there are any problems that they will be worked out. Until then, let's keep our comments about them based on facts, not on gossip.

You are welcome. Thanks for your kind understanding. I appreciate your attitude in every respect.

I very seldom come into this part of the forum and I am really mortified that such rudeness is spattered out to a good man who is only trying to take his own time to tell us about his culture. Imanmajed's forbearance and patience have been so very inspirational and I thank him immensely for showing us all the profound kindliness and hospitality for which his country is well known.

Are the men olny allowed to have one public wife or can the others be shown if they wanted to ?

If a sheikh wanted to get married again will the second wedding be as big as his first ?

I heard that both wives have to be treated equal so would she have a palace of her own because the first wive is in a palace ?

can both wives ever share the same home if both of them was ok with it ?

A men (I think you mean a Sheikh) can all his wives presented to the public or he can not presented all of his wives or he can presented only some of his wives in public. That is a matter of the couple only.

The second wedding can be as big as the first or bigger or smaller. They can do what they want. It is also a matter of the couple and the families of them.

Thats right. All wives are be treated equally. Each of them has her own house. The second wife would have a house like that of the first wife.

Theoretically, both can live in one house, but then claim to have a seperate part of the house for herself alone. Depending on the size of the house and the wealth of the man, the wives can own a room for herself only or partially an entire building on the same property with a private entrance.
