Asalaamu Alaikum brother,

This is a complaint that I have heard a few times.  Though I know it must be frustrating for you, you must understand that many Muslim women are reluctant to relocate with a new husband. 

 For the western Muslim woman finding a spouse, and maintainingg a strong relationship is becoming more and more difficult.  In this blog post I will only discuss one of the roadblocks the these women face when they take the step towards marriage: Fear of oppression.

As a professional Muslim matchmaker, my subject is marriage.   Its important for me to understand and judge people.  I judge intentions, personalities, looks, everything.  I also have to judge, and ask potential clients to evaluate or reevaluate whether or not they are actually ready for marriage or if it just seems like the next logical step.

Asalaamu Alaikum,

Thank you for your question.  In most cases the man is unwilling to move. 

I posted this blog post on Facebook, and got a little feedback on it that made me want to clarify my position a bit here as well. 

It is always a person’s choice as to who they are attracted to, find common ground with, and generally want to marry.  That being said, it is also my responsibility as a Muslim matchmaker to be honest and realistic with people and make them aware of how their choices will affect their opportunities.

Please always expect this level of honesty from an Islamic Introductions matchmaker.  We won’t promise you the sun, but we will always do our best.

It never ceases to be and issue.  Why do older men prefer younger women?  Why would a 40 year old man seriously be interested in a woman who is 20.  There are obvious reasons, but there are some not so obvious variables that are left out of this ideology.  An example you ask?  Sure.
