    Gold is not "how you get married overseas" but it is a required dowry in some parts of the world, such as the Middle East. You cannot get married for example, in Saudi Arabia, without giving gold to the bride. It is not optional if you want to get married. The wife keeps the gold as a sort of insurance plan.

      The thirst is real. Dudes will work extra hard to build themselves up. And then women will come along and basically piss it all away. And third world countries culture generally dictates that the man is responsible for her family as well.
      This is also why China is suffering through a serious problem of their old people.
      The one child policy did a lot of damage. Basically one man is expected to take care of not only his family but two other families..

    Fresh out of the military I had no debt and about 36k in stocks. I married someone from another country and paid a lot to get her to the States. Anytime we visited her family she expected us to pay for everything we did. When I told her “no”, she would act like a child until I said yes. It was a huge mistake and ended in about 76k in debt and a divorce. Be careful who you marry. You need to be compatible financially and spiritually, not just physically. Met my current wife and things are wonderful. We’re on the same page with everything which makes life sooo much easier.

    This same topic was a major issue in my marriage. She refused to work enough to support our very basic lifestyle. I worked FT, she worked 20hrs a week as a nurse. She demanded “You are the man of the house, get a 2nd job!”. At that time $10-11hr was more than likely while she had $45hr. When the debt became to much, she wanted to declare bankruptcy and I refused as I said SHE needed to work more, that would solve it. Issue lead to our divorce!!!

      I got married in 2020 specifically because only 10 people could attend (by “law” or Covid rules). It was at an in-laws’ living room. Brother in law became certified to marry us online and 2 people signed as witnesses. I wore my mom’s wedding dress. We paid maybe $50 between jewelry and a head piece. The other sister in law did my hair and makeup (she’s a cosmetologist). He passed, but if I get married again (I’m in my 30’s), it will be something like this. Instead of a ring, I want a 5 oz bar of gold. If he wants me to wear a ring (I’d rather not), it will be pure gold or platinum with no diamonds. My last ring had a big one, that’s now basically worthless! (I like the gold idea tbh, I know it’s been criticized… but that’s been my idea for the last year, as well)

      I don't know how viable that is, particularly with just a high school education from her native country. To make a living (or even just side hustle money) as a language tutor, you generally have to have at least some education in that field. Just because you speak a language does not mean you can teach it effectively, particularly to non-speakers. Some 300 million Americans speak English, but comparatively few of them could explain the intricacies of English grammar in a way that helped someone learn the language. How do you know the difference between a countable and an uncountable noun, and why does it matter? What verb tense is appropriate in what situation and why? This is what teaching a language requires you to know. And then you've got the issue of demand. Even if she could tutor in her native language (which given Abdel's name, I'm going to assume is Arabic, but it could be something else like Farsi or Kurdish), is there enough demand for that in Ft. Worth, TX? If she looks to tutor online, what does she have to offer that goes above/beyond the free resources like Duolingo or Mango Languages? With an actual credential or training in language instruction, that will be a hard path to travel.

      In Islam you have to pay the bride or the bride’s father ( I forgot who) ‘mahr’ to get married…. So Muslim Indians will give the bride money.. but the dowry system is so rampant across all Indian cultures that the Muslim bride has to multiply the mahr by some and give that dowry to the grooms family.. across all religions the lower class usually give 250 grams of gold, middle class usually gives 1000 grams of gold and a car.. I’m not sure about the upper class… if the bride works after marriage which in most cases she will be that will also go to her husband and she will be living with the in-laws… exceptions exist but this is the majority…

    Sir, what!?!?!?!? I need someone to get some clues. I’m sure he won’t. The wife won’t let him. She’s not, because he took her hand and said he could take care of her. He was/is in over his head.

    Having to pay in gold for a wife it's his first mistake, just imagine how much she would want to sign the divorce papers. Oh well.

      Right? The family asks for the wedding and jewelry as a screening process to keep out dusties and passport bros who are broke. This caller basically tricked this woman into marrying him using credit cards to give a false sense of financial security to his in-laws.
      Mom needs to focus on baby. Trad wife needs the trad husband to figure out how to pay the bills himself.
