Arab youths avoid arranged marriage with Web spouses

“Some conservative families don’t allow their daughters to meet strangers. But if you meet in cyberspace, technically you are not breaking any religious or cultural norms as you are not physically alone with that person.” Arab and Muslim online surfers still feel embarrassed about cyber-searches for a spouse. Many of those who had success were reluctant to say where they met their mate.

    That’s a very good point! I personally feel that there is nothing to be embarrassed about meeting someone online. I feel like its a blessing to be able to have an opportunity to meet another individual that you might have never met other wise. As much flack dating websites get there is nothing wrong with choosing to meet someone in a safe and secure environment. I’m a member at http://www.ArabLoveLine.com and I am on there all the time. I would have no problem telling anyone that I met my future or current husband on an Arab dating website.
