So it's sort of hard to date without every really being alone together. which is why ppl say it goes against Islam. The woman is not supposed to even show herself unless the man is her husband, brother, father, or son. and when I say show herself, to most people that means her hair and any skin more then hands and face. some people interpreted it as the woman must also cover her face and everything (my family does not believe in that) but it DOES say in the Quran that the woman must cover herself. If the woman isn't practicing her religion and doesn't cover then that's one thing but if she is practicing then she NEEDS to at least cover her hair and wear long sleeve shirts and pants or dresses (no shorts or skirts).
lol about the virgin part, i'm not going to say if I am or not.
I don't take in consideration the Hadith. to me the only words from god are in the coran. the other texts are interpretation imo. and it doesn't say that women should cover themselves. it says as advices that if women don't want to me harassed by misonigistic pigs that they can cover themself to not attract unwanted attention. and those words apply to the situation and the time when it was written meaning hot desert places where people already covered themselves up because of the sun, and places where we didn't have police or security and that you where better off hiding than being pwned by stronger peoples.
but anyhow, the way people live their religion is up to them, as long as it is done in the respect of others and oneself.
but whatever hussain, where not going to start discussion religion as it is a complete and utter waste of time. religion is based on faith which itself isn't even rational or debatable. lol
. I am now engaged to a wonderful woman who I've been "talking to" for the past couple years. My family is very... old school Arab traditional (even though my mom is white/American). So the other day my family asked her family for her hand in marriage. Her family agreed and asked for her approval and obviously she approved lol so now we're technically engaged. Sunday me and my family are going to her house to talk about some of the specifics and probably in about a month there will be an engagement party (Arab tradition) and at that time I will give her a ring and we will get Islamicly married and possibly legally married at the same time. we wont have an actual wedding for a couple years (till we get our bachelors degrees). so I'm still not sure if we will be legally married from the engagement party or the day of the wedding....
