Canada has a 1 to 3 year wait time on spouse visas so he's fucked no matter what.
Private dining booths are normal in the gulf because the use of Niqabs (full face covering) is so prevalent especially among Saudis so it's the only way they can eat some meals at restaurants.
Islam is fucking wild, man. Is there any group of people it doesn’t want put face down in the dirt and give ‘em the old American History X-treatment? You almost gotta respect the cartoonish villainy of it all.
I know, right? I mean, Jesus, not being allowed to live in whole towns cause you haven't tied the knot? I thought that men were generally exempt from the oppressive aspects of Islam; usually it's the women who get the shit end of everything. I stand corrected. Pack it in, American Christians. You can make your daughter apologize to the congregation for being raped(something that happened in my home state), you can withhold meals from your kids for blasphemy, you can make your whole town the real-life Moralton, but you will never be as fucked up as Islam. You guys are rank amateurs in comparison. Hell, even the most backwater congregations will at least allow you to get your drink on. Not in Islam, bitch.
Yeah birthright citizenship is an American thing. Gulf states have to protect their oil gibs, and they must be able to make sure their foreign workers have no rights.
They share the same hairline
What's funny is in Kuwait they actually have real elections so the Emir randomly gives citizenship to Saudi Bedouins to secure enough votes in Parliament because they as a group are to him like blacks are for the democratic party.
With everything that has been said I can understand why he wants out of Kuwait,plus the fact that the government is revoking foreign workers permits so they have to leave Kuwait, he will have to go back to Syria and face time in their army as a conscript.
Married or not it's borderline haram to merely hold hands in public in Kuwait, and the mere act of hugging in public is actually unironically a criminal offense as it's considered an obscene overt sexual act in Kuwaiti culture.
Yes merely making eye contact with an Arab in Kuwait is grounds for them to follow you home and rape you especially if you're white.Islam teaches that public displays of affection between opposite sexes (meaning married people in this case - segregation is assumed otherwise) is a no-no, because as people you don't want to evoke feelings of jealousy or what have you, from others. Not everyone is happily married or married at all.
I was out shopping with my husband last night, in the souks near Farwaniya - he held my hand for most of the time.
But, it's discreet..and when walking where we have to go near men or go around, he'll let go and I'll walk around them - as little contact as posisble with non-mehram, or men I cannot marry (meaning family) is a way of life here for most of the women.
The gulf road area, around Salmiya...you might find that you're pretty comfortable there - lots of "western" shops and restaurants in that area and the behavior might be more lax in that sense too - I don't know, for me because I live in a Bedouin town, on the other side of Kuwait (nearer to Ahmadi), I find the atmosphere there to be a lot different. I find the men in the gulf road area to be astonishingly rude, ill-mannered...perhaps though that is because I know how they are raised and what values/morals they have overall as a society...and the gulf area is where the "bad muslims" tend to hang out, sadly.
The atmosphere and acceptability of social practices changes as you head towards Fahaheel and Ahmadi - my husband doesn't tend to hold my hand in his hometown, for example. It's more conservative. It takes some getting used to, but again, as foreigners they don't expect you to act like they do - just be more discreet when in those areas and you'll be fine.
Anything western - particularily women - amongst some of the arab men here (the non-practicing ones, and more of the young-ish ones), is something quite yummy and it means "non protected" and up for grabs, pretty much, if the opportunity arises.
Oh, also, when you're driving - whether it's you or her - she might not want to look out the window, to the side I mean - even looking back before making a turn to change lanes, any eye contact can be seen as a sign of encouragement - and she doesn't want to be followed home by some eager admirer(I learned this the hard way lol) . Also smiles and the like are taken in an entirely different way here - that's flirting here. Not mere politeness, the way westerners usually mean it.
Thanks for clarifying this and I am still convinced they are not legally married in such a short time of her arrival. They are living in a hovel, he is restricting what she says or does online, he is restricting her eating habits and dictating what she wears. The picture is becoming clearer every time she gets online. They are both broke and I don’t think she expected any of this, plus the fact he will not touch her. This is her worst nightmare and she has to sit and smile , UNTIL PAYDAY.Married or not it's borderline haram to merely hold hands in public in Kuwait, and the mere act of hugging in public is actually unironically a criminal offense as it's considered an obscene overt sexual act in Kuwaiti culture.
I found this written on an expat forum circa 2007 by a Canadian wife of a Kuwaiti Bedouin. (Bedouins are the strictest ones)
Actually fuck lets look at the official Canadian government travel advisory for Kuwait.

It's like a whole country inhabited by autistics. This is OPL behavior. She smiled and looked at me, she loves me!
The thing is she made it a point to show off the Palace of Justice in her Souq video, like just hamfisted it into the video as it's a very unremarkable building compared to everything around it, and it's the building where marriages are conducted in Kuwait.
She did and his facebook said he's syrian.
Worse comes to worst a one way ticket from Kuwait back to Canada is only $500 American.
Yes, Arabs are fat as fuck
