It has never to be forgotten - by WESTERN WOMEN - and there are now countless testimonies - do NOT marry an Islamic man and go to live in his own country. You risk being severely beaten up, put into hospital many times - and your children stolen from you - if you try to escape, with them from the country. The BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE knows that not many women manage to escape - they just 'disappear'.

So if you do want to marry and ISLAMIC man in this country - you should be safe - but check it all out thoroughly beforehand and in every possible way. If your husband is a 'good one' - he will aid you in doing so.
