By Martha Schmidt


Finding a good mate for their children is very important for Arab families. That has not changed over the years. How Arabs are allowed to date differs per region. The focus is on protecting the virtue of the women. Their reputation is very important. Nowadays Arab dating is possible through internet.

In their culture family is of great importance. Many families in the Gulf regions and Middle East believe in arranged marriages. That is the reason why Arabian women are not allowed to have dates before they are married. Usually the man relies on female relatives in order to find a mate. In the Gulf regions when there is a formal relationship it will be marked by a marriage contract. When he brings a visit to the future bride the man will bring gifts like perfume and jewelry.

When they are dating, Arabic women tend to keep their dates secret. The reason they do this is because they do not want to get a bad reputation. They also want to protect the reputation of their family. The embarrassment is for the whole family if they discover that a woman is having dates. If a woman is not conservative it will be very hard for her to find someone who wants to marry her. The family will not accept that. Her behavior determines whether she will be able find a good husband or not.

Being a virgin is honored in these cultures. Keeping your virginity until you are married is very important. The honor of the family is reflected in this manner. It is not unusual in these regions to have dates and sexual activities without having actual intercourse.

Having a date is easier for an Arabic woman in Western societies, even with men of other cultures. When they go to school or to work they have open interactions with men. Marriages with people of other culture do occur, but they are very rare. But when they are studying or working in Western nations the women have more freedom to meet men and they may choose to go on secret dates.

With the help of their friends and using the internet it is possible to meet new people. However the parents prefer to be involved in the relationships of their children. They go out of their way to organize events where they can invite potential partners to come and meet their children. It is important for them to monitor the situation.

Some people are surprised when a chaperone of friends or family is brought to a date. But for their culture this situation is very normal. The reason this is done is to protect the woman, because in their culture it is not normal to go on dates. When choosing a spouse, the parents are completely involved in the life of their children.

Virtue, reputation, respect and family are not the only important things in their culture. Education is also a very important aspect when one is going out with Arabic women. Having a degree will give you an advantage when you want to date Arabic women, because the family considers education as a way of securing the future for their daughter.
