Syrians marrying foreigners

[u/Then-Dragonfruit5233]

Salamalakem Everyone I am 23 White muslim. Reverted 2022, my question I have to ask is in regard to marriage. Do Syrians lean to being more open to marrying foreigners or you they strictly stick to Syrians or people Levantine Decent.

It really depends. Some aren’t even willing to marry outside their family, some will only marry other Syrians, some will only marry from belad al sham, some will only marry from among the broader Arab world, some will be open to marrying أجنبي if they are willing to effectively become Syrian, and some will marry أجنبي without that expectation. If you’re trying to marry a man living in Syria, it’s probably a no go. Outside of Syria, especially for Syrians who are already established on their own outside of Syria, it’s a different story

In my family, most people are married to other nationalities, both men and women

The important thing in your situation is to marry a man of good character and strong on his deen. For all reverts this is particularly crucial. The specific nationality of the potential spouse is less important
