Haya Abdul Aziz gives a typical story on how new marriages in Saudi Arabia go on, and says newlyweds should realize that starting a new life is difficult under the best of circumstances and it should never be done under a weight of loans and pressing financial obligations. The thing is, there is no other choice. A cousin of mine who is getting engaged this year told me that there is no way he is getting married without taking a loan. "Even though this loan would be from some family members, and I'm under no pressure to payback immediately, but I hate to take loans from anybody, even my family." However, "there is no way I'm getting married without taking a loan," he kept saying.
Those who know me personally know very well that I don't agree with the mechanism of marriage in our society. How will I ever get married? I try to ignore questions like this because it is simply depressing. If you can read Arabic and want to know what kind of hell we have to go through in order to get married, take a look at Ibrahim's blog, which is, btw, quite amusing and one of my favourite Saudi blogs. # »
