Better to be single and happy than married to the wrong person. I think Dimples needs some grief counselling to help her with the loss of her father.
Dimpy's got Dad issues. She needs to know herself. She might be a doctor but she seems immature. She's right having high standards & if it doesn't feel right then it's not.

M favorite Islamic love story is between Aisha, our mother and our prophet. From when he wooed her when she was 5, began dating her when she 6, consummated the marriage at 9 then going on to love her the most of his wives, trained her in military tactics, encouraged her to be kme a scholar. It goes with out saying that Aisha was trained to fight against the forces of Ali! Though she was defeated, she will live on in our lives.

You’re not doing anything wrong , the right woman will accept you for you. Never change who you are to impress a woman . Be yourself, because eventually those people that find someone by altering who they truly are will be miserable (both people) because your true self will always come out after the honeymoon period is over. It’s best to be true to who you are. And only ever change because it is part of your growth process to being a better person. Just some sage advice from a 42 year old woman who unfortunately is divorced and had to learn this valuable life lesson the hard way 28:30
I think Zubair is a sweet guy and will make a good caring husband. I wish him luck.

Here in the US, my neighbor who is Muslim couldn't find a wife, so he went on Facebook lying that he had money and such, and unfortunately convinced a woman from Morocco to marry him. When I met her here, she always looked depressed and gain a lot of weight ( i assumed because of her pregnancy) Sadly, the man wasn't who she thought he was. I had suspicions she wanted to go back to Morocco, but then they moved without telling anyone 🙄🙄 didn't know what happened next... I hope she's okay and her son.

I feel bad for the guy looking for 8 years for a wife
I met and was with a Muslim man for 18 years and I'm not muslim. He had never been with a woman and had absolutely no idea what to do in the bedroom. There were days he was good to me but days he would spit on me slap me pull my hair called me bad names but I loved him and stayed with him. He drank smoked and loved to gamble but he made sure he prayed five times a day. Without telling me he went behind my back and met a rich woman and fell in love with her money and once the money ran out he fell out of love with her and had a crazy idea we were going to get back together because he still "loved" me but what it really was is because I took all the abuse and was submissive to him but after being apart for five years I grew a backbone and told him he'll no I did not want to be with him ever again. I no longer trust men and I will never date or marry any man avain. I enjoy being by myself. I have my sons from my first marriage and that's the only men I need in my life. I'm sorry but I warn any women not to go with a Muslim man they can be nice one minute and beat the he'll out of you the next. He was from Egypt.

Sorry for your experience. Islam is perfect muslims are not. It sounds like your ex partner was only muslim by name and not by practice. The teachings of Islam condemn abuse towards women. In the Prophet's final speech he said to treat your women well. Anyone who does otherwise is not following the true teachings. Please do not paint everyone with the same brush. Someone who is truly conscious of God would not have treated you like that.
You aren't doing anything wrong Zubair, just being yourself. It's hard enough for westerners to find love with all the choices and freedoms we have......sure we can find hookups etc but who wants to do that forever? We have to grow up sometime and make good choices for ourselves. I advise Zubair to find an educated bride in Pakistan, since he is going there anyway. Not all brides want to leave their families and live in the west. If and when you do move back to the UK she will have had time to adapt to the idea, and if she loves you she will want to be with you......
Where is the rest of the story? Is there a follow up on these people?
Anyone know the song played around the 3 minute mark? Thanks!
Dimpys brother 🙈🤷♀️ take some responsibility, tidy up and clean after yourself!!! You're not a child. My advice to Dimpy, move out and create your own life.

Dimpy isn't put a really high standard if she's a doctor and looking for a doctor too it's a good thing doctor is a demanding job may be they would understand each other better. May Allah SWT make it easy for her.
I understand. You are saying, you don't have the most, and that you aren't a showoff. Also, that you work for success? I don't get it. Be clear. Who works for who? Or, who works with who? I was hoping to understand your mind set.

Very true sis. People confuse Islam with their culture and they make their own rules.
Dimpy is lucky she's had 60 men interested in marriage. No offense but worldly dudes would just look on the outside and let's just say they're not "body positive". I think she should stop being so picky and find a nice Muslim guy who cares if he's not a doctor. Zubair seems like a catch, attractive, friendly and smart. Nyla is pretty, I think her and Zubair would make a good couple-nice straight laced devout Muslims.
The woman who wants absolutely a doctor is strange. The only important thing in a marriage is to find someone who is kind & responsible and the rest are bonus.

These women really cracked me up a independent woman and when you marry a men he's in control so just say she gets married and the UK and she marries that Muslim men that won't to go to Pakistan what would happen he's in control and women in Pakistan don't have no rights at all so what happens then think before you jump I rather be a Muslim woman living in uk then a woman living in Pakistan.

Only peasant women working in the fields were thin and brown skinned - a sign of poverty. Plumpness was a sign of wealth, health and prosperity - the ladies were always shaded when walking outside to protect their fair skin. The mould was broken when dark haired dark eyed slim Anne Boleyn arrived at the English court from the French...highly educated and with elegant French manners and French fashions......she was fascinating to all the men of the court but especially to the king, who changed the religion and laws of England to have her.......

However educated modern Muslim men don't want forced marriages, they hope to find love, as we all do.
