Where are you planning to live after marriage? Are you aware of the statistics regarding non-Saudi women marrying Saudi men? You won't get any help from those in free countries who deplore the unfair treatment of women by anyone. Love is never enough and you need to think of your future and the future of your children. You will never have freedom to be yourself if you live in Saudi Arabia. Do you even know how women are treated there? Why would you allow yourself to be subjected to abuse in a society that mistreats women?
