Culture Influence On Arab Dating

By Rebecca Bell


Many people develop a certain emotion to an opposite gender. Due to that people want to spend time together. When people get to this stage they create a strong bond. This bond usually leads to a relationship. Custom plays a big part on Arab dating.

Faith is a building block of this community . Many of them follows Islamic beliefs . This restricts any form of relationship between male and female. But if it is a modest relationship no conflicts arise. This is mainly done to make people avoid adulterous relationships.

Relationship between a male and female is only encouraged when they are serious about it. These means they are ready to get married after they both discourse about it. One is never forced to marry if they choose not to. Parents may sometimes advice their children on who to marry. If they do not like that particular person they do not marry. If someone is attracted to a certain person they can Mary them with blessings from parents. This is done when a male introduces a lady to their family or when seeking a hand in marriage.

During these meeting some parents disagree about their relationship due to various reasons which they mention . That means they will not get any blessing. When that happens it is hard to proceed with a NIKHA . If parents do not have any objection they settle on dowry issues. When that is done they start planning for a NIKHA which is a wedding ceremony that takes three days.

Wedding in these community are done in an Islamic way . This means the ceremony will take three days and no music will be used. Two days are for advice and other things like finalizing bride prize. One main thing is that advice is given to them by Imams an USTADH. This is just to psych them as they take a new step in life. This is usually done inside a MASJID but different room . Ladies in one room and male in another room.

This ceremony should be simple as possible. It should not consume much money. Marriage is considered as a praise ceremony. That is why it is done in a humbling manner. In some cases this whole presses takes place in a conference hall. After three days they start their relationship having blessing from God and parents. Most relationships last till death separates them.

Marriage is adored by many people . Everybody in these culture dreams of marrying. This is why people do not build such kind of relationships before marriage. If a girl is involved in such a relationship she might lose her virginity before marriage. When that happens she is likely to miss someone who can marry her.

Sex sins are taken very seriously . If one has sex before marriage there are some severe punishments . For wives and husband who cheat they are likely to be stoned to death . This happens if four people testify that they did that sin. Such punishments have helped people stick to good morals. Ladies preserve their dignity so as they do not want to miss a husband . NIKHA is usually a ceremony that everyone wants. Poor couples are supported by relatives till they gain stability. This helps in maintaining family bonds after marriage.
