So a while ago, I posted this.
Welp, they're back.
My Aunt has been insistent on finding me a "nice Lebanese wife", because she wants for me to marry a woman who is a practicing Shia Muslim, as well as is Lebanese. I received a phone call from my Uncle that apparently they found a woman for me. She's a 100% Lebanese woman who works at some sort of health clinic.
This woman's parents and family are very strict about religion and so my Uncle said that I was not allowed to "do anything" (have sex, kiss, etc...) until marriage. But they want to set me up and schedule with her family (not with her, her family) to have me meet with her with the supervision of her parents. We are both in our 20's.
Of course I declined and said I was not romantically interested, but I later agreed to meet with her as friends.
I'm sharing this because for you westerners, white people, and Americans, this is completely out of the ordinary for you all.
