Hi Jessi,
I just can tell you that there is no general answer which applies.
I live in Germany and know at lot of girls married to Turkish men or vise versa without any conflicts. I also hear stories of Turkish families strictly refusing the contact with anybody outside of their islam religion. It is almost the same story like you can expirience in Belfast, although things are about to change to normal nowadays.
So it really depends on the view of things of the family of your boyfriend.
I can only wish you good luck to be fully accepted.I am an 18 yeaor old female from Wales (uk) Seeking advice?
99% of people living in Turkey are Muslim. I did some research and the Qu'ran says that in general Muslim men are not permitted to marry non-Muslim women, but there can be exceptions:
An exception is made for Muslim men to marry chaste or pious Jewish and Christian women, who are referred to as ';People of the Book.'; This comes from the understanding that Jews and Christians share similar religious outlooks - a belief in One God, following the commandments of Allah, a belief in revealed scripture (Books), etc. ';This day are all things good and pure made lawful to you.... Lawful to you in marriage are not only chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time, when you give them their due dowers, and desire chastity not lewdness. If any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost'; (Qur'an 5:5).
So, I suppose since you said you dont follow religion, then his family would most likely have a serious problem with this relationship since you are not a ';believer'; in a similar religion.
Interestingly, under no circumstances should a Muslim women marry a non-Muslim man.
Yes but they would expect you to convert your religion to become a Muslim and their religion is very strict on women.
If I was you I would forget this guy, obviously there are good ones out there but most Turkish men are known to be love rats and use British women as either a meal ticket or a visa into the UK.
ICE has hit the nail on the head. Forget this guy he only wants a UK passport.
Sorry.
