Re: Marrying a foreigner........
maybe.
Re: Marrying a foreigner........
if you do that for the sake of citizenship you are sick! but if its regardless and purely for that person's love then there is nothing wrong with it.
I 
foreigners!
Re: Marrying a foreigner........
I married a "foreigner"...my desi hubby. When we married, his citizenship was in the works and he completed his citizenship without updating INS that he was married to a US citizen - he wanted everyone to be well aware that he became a citizen on his own without relying upon his wife's status.
Our families each had their own reservations about marrying into such differing cultures but after 11 years, both sides are so very happy that we have such a great marriage and 3 beautiful, happy and loving boyz.
Love can move mountains. And all of those reservations you hear about - from either the western side OR the desi side - they really arent as big a deal as people make them out to be.
I married someone who was classed as a foreigner 3 years ago...and I believe it was the best thing I've done, ever. I love my husband to bits, he's fab-o.
But you mentioned marrying people due to get citizenship in certain countries...I'm totally against it. It's quite nasty that one would use another human being based on their colour of their passport. Don't get me wrong, I know full well it happens I just don't support it.
A cousin of mine married her cousin who had declared quite openly he didn't like her he just liked her passport. He'd call her fat whilst she was pregnant (note-she was pregnant and alone in the UK whilst she was applying for his visa) and didn't support her at all. He didn't really act like a husband should-no support, no love nothing. He thought that as she was pregnant and his cousin his visa was a garentee, 100% cert.
Sadly for him, she had the baby and dumped his sorry backside. 4 years on she is seeking advice from local scholars as he won't give her a divorce (hes still in Pakistan, shes in England).
So that's just one example of marrying for citizenship and how it can go wrong. It's plain wrong to use someone.
Re: Marrying a foreigner........
Err am i the only one who reads the question posed as, "how would your family feel if you married a foreigner and took the citizenship of their country and probably left your own" and NOT "how would your family feel if you married someone for their citizenship?"
Re: Marrying a foreigner........
I want to marry a foreigner for his passport. I haven't decided which passport I want to go for yet. May be the red one.
Lol!
