A psychological and family consultant said that it is not surprising that some Saudi women marry foreigners, revealing that Egyptians have given preference to women who interacted with them.
The psychological and family consultant, Dr. Zahra Al-Maabi, indicated that she encourages the marriage of Saudi women to foreigners, especially in light of the new regulations, which require treating the children of Saudi Arabia as citizens, while granting the mother custody, which ensures that her children remain with her, even in the event of separation. Al-Moabi said that the recent tendency of Saudi women to marry foreigners is due to several reasons, including that “the foreigner is more comfortable than the Saudi husband.”
And she continued, explaining: “The Saudi often does not treat her as a queen in her home, and there is a little severity in it,” adding that the foreigner “sympathizes with her also because she is his sponsor.” According to Al-Muabi, the foreigner’s treatment of his Saudi wife is different from his treatment of her if she was of the same nationality Because the Saudi wife is considered a “guardian of his grace”, as she put it, and she continued with a laugh: “That is why he sits politely and calmly.”
Al-Moabi stated that she “recently noticed a demand for marriage from foreigners,” noting that the success of these marriages depends on the availability of a set of conditions in the husband. She said: “The Saudi girl should choose a husband with specifications that guarantee her stability and happiness.”
