Re: Let's say
Why wouldn't you?
(assuming you like the person (and vice versa)and there are no other 'problems')

Yes.
So ppl living in an arabic speaking country shud marry someone fluent in arabic? And same with French n German n Dutch speaking countries?
Re: Let’s say
Yup No problem for me :cobra:
Re: Let’s say
Well the relevant question for me would be, would i marry someone who didnt know urdu? Well no! :nono: Yes, ok if he’s not great with urdu that can be managed though i would prefer that he has command over the language because i don’t so one of us should. However, somebody who doesnt know urdu a bit would be an major issue.
But ya say i was in Canada and get married to somebody who didnt have command over english, i would accept it because you can always learn a 2nd language to the degree which is important! however, its the first language you should have better command at because that is more important in my opinion.

I wouldn't say no exactly but it depends on several factors.

Yes they should.
My thoughts on it are if they don't know the language, do they intend to learn?
from a purely practical point of view, it doesn't matter what the first/mother tongue is, what matters is if you know the language of the country you will be living in. If they don't intend to learn it, how will they work or make a living? Will they stick to working for their own people and stay in neighborhoods dominated by the same kind of people? If so, can they get a job where they can reach their maximum earning potential without learning to speak the main language fluently?
In the case of women who won't be working, like the wives who come from Pakistan, if they don't learn the language (and I don't know about this generation but in the past generations, the women who moved here never learned the language) they most likely will have a hard time doing anything outside of the house. they would have to rely on their husbands and children for almost everything and I don't believe that a grown woman with a capable mind should have to rely on an 8 year old child for anything, including translation services.
Not to mention, the simple fact that not understanding anything going on around you can make a person feel isolated and lonely which can lead to depression or destructive behavior. Why would anyone ever want to be so isolated?

**haven't you seen beautiful Russian girls who don't speak a world of English being brought in the Western world everyday? so many Americans and Westerners bring brides from overseas...it's a big business in Russia and Algeria/Morocco etc.
Beauty breaks all the linguistic barriers.
