Of Saudi Customs, Unmatched Lebanese Chicks, and the Downtrodden……..
“Expatriate families living in Saudi Arabia are finding it difficult to find suitable husbands for their daughters, especially from the same community. They say sometimes facilitating a marriage is difficult because of the absence of relatives living in the Kingdom. In some cases, they claim daughters and sons born and raised in Saudi Arabia find it difficult to marry people from their home country because they have gotten used to living in the Kingdom. In most cases and against family wishes, daughters and sons prefer to marry someone locally. Huda Maghrabi, a Lebanese teacher and mother of three grown-up daughters, fears that she might not find suitable Lebanese husbands for her daughters because they are used to the local culture. All her three children were born and raised in Saudi Arabia. “It is common for many expatriate families to have friendships with people from different nationalities,” she said……”
If this Lebanese chick thinks she is having problems as a foreigners in Saudi Arabia, she should try to look into the lives of the downtrodden people from Asia and Africa. Especially the millions of manual laborers and housemaids, the ones whose plight NGOs like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International keeps talking about to no avail.
