Pakistani and Filipina can marry? where?

Your answers will be really helpful. thanks in advance to all.
i am a filipina converted to muslim 1 year ago and my boyfriend is a muslim from pakistan but born here in qatar. he is married with 1 daughter. his family somehow knows about our relationship but they are against it and didn't accept us to be together. he tried to tell them that he wants to marry me and they said no.
can we get married secretly? or anyone can help us? maybe later on his family can accept us... we are not loosing hope.

Go to the marriage court ...Go to the marriage court located at rayan road.
U both need 2 witness each ..
But don't know if he can marry again being already.
He might need a written no objection letter from existing wife.
Visit the court early Sunday morning to get detailed info.
Peace

hi ...i believe it's not possible, if he got his wife and kid and they are staying with him in qatar under his sponsorship Qatar's law will not allow him to sponsor second wife and they might check that he is married. better you check with sharia court where you will appear for marriage.

FathimaH said
Gotta echo WK first.. ..."Oh dear..another one" Yes a man can have up to 4 wives according to shariah law but there are many conditions applied to polygyny . among them is that the man should fear Allah and treat all wives with equality. As for the OP, it seems the two of them have been having a "relationship" which is itself haraam in Islam. Hence I hope Chrystal you think hard about this situation. Do you really want a man who cheated on his wife?As a convert I don't know how much you have learned about Islam in one year so perhaps you are unaware of the sinful aspect of your whole courtship. Do you expect Allah to bless your marriage when its built on what's unlawful?think long and hard and fear Allah. Anyways I know this is not what you seek counsel on but as your sister I cannot leave this post without advising you. as for if you can get married then sure you can..legally. I know many sisters who have become second wives here in Qatar. Yes there are regulations involved but I'm guessing nothing too complicated. However heed the advice of Brit...are you sure the guy's for real? Barakhallah feeki dear sis..May Allah guide you to do what's right. Wasalaam

I for one would never want to be with a man when his family will never accept me. If I have children and I die, who will take care of them? The family that hate me? Never will do that to my children.
Good luck!

best wishes for you
triparound said
Oh Such turmoil ...I believe religion has nothing to do with your problem, it is the excuse. Openess,honesty,integrity, are the words you need. love and longing belong to the heart and there needs to be two hearts together, with the need to love and belong. If they are not, then togetherness with happiness will not happen. Your present track will only lead you to misery.

Use your head girl. Do you ...Use your head girl. Do you want to be a second wife? And that too without the first wife knowing? You will have to "share" your hubby. Are you willing to do that? Depending on the circumstances, during diffcult phases of your married life, you won't be able to go to him or his family for help or support. Can lead to a lot of fights and frustation. Can you cope with that? And what about when you have kids? What rights will they have?
Think it through carefully girl.

CRYSTAL ...Please understand this, there is NO secret marriage in Islam. He dont need approval from his parents to get married, He dont need approval from his 1st wife to marry another wife but "at least" inform her that he is getting married a second wife and the least thing she can do is ask for divorce. Now, if he is telling you that he wants to marry you but his parents DISAGREE about it then is obvious that he is "cheating" on his wife and "playing" with you?
A Muslim man can marry a Muslim girl, a Christian and a Jew. Requirements as follows:
1) There is consent of both parties
2) There is consent from the parents/guardian of the GIRL, a father or an uncle or brother, but since you are a reverted Muslim then the judge himself can stand as your guardian.
3) There are 2 male witnesses or equivalent to 4 female
witnesses.
4) There is Mahr or Dowry for the bride.
The requirements never mentioned that you need consent from HIS parents. Which clearly means he is lying on you. Do you know that he is married with one kid before you indulge into relation with him? If YES, then shame on you! If NOT, then shame on him not to tell you the truth. Wake up girl!

But come on girl, if he really wants to marry you, he can marry you on SUNDAY! The Shariah Court is open for marriage morning and evening. Ask him to come with you anytime this week for marriage, I bet alot of Qler's will volunteer to witness you. Count me in.
If you need a friend to talk send me a message. I am Filipina Muslim also and married to Muslim Arab.

SAEEDKHAN, you seems the one ...SAEEDKHAN, you seems the one giving wrong direction for her. You clearly wrote above the requirements of marriage, and there is no way mentioned about HIS parents consent is necessary to legalized their marriage. If they will die of shock then that is their fate, if they will die of accident then may their soul rest in peace. But you forget that "respecting parents" and "controlling your son" are two different story.
The guy told her that he wants to marry her but her parents disaggree. And for me that is BS!!!...if he wanted to marry her, he can do it without his parents consent. But the guy is obviously playing with her. And Btw, dont worry about me, I am married in shariah and I know what am saying.
/-a-t-/CRYSTAL- think not only twice, but hundred more times. Marriage is lifetime. If you ask my opinion? Its a big NO for marriage with him, but the decision is still yours.

saeedkan.......... ...brother, please don't give bad impact about Islam to non Muslim. You just wrote in your first reply to this thread that "he can marry 4 wives". If you write this to any non Muslim then should elaborate it. It's not as simple as you wrote a Muslim man can marry 4. Some conditions applied behind it that you know I think. Note it that Islam is the only religion where a man allowed to marry up to 4(off course some conditions there)& other all religion says no limit.

Good point by stealth ...I do find it sadly amusing how a man has extra marital affairs and/or indulges in flirtatious relationships then justifies them saying he can get married to more than wife "according to the sunnah" Damn right the Prophet and other noble predecessors practiced polygyny but did any of them get about it this way? Audubillah!
