Until recently, marriages with foreigners were discouraged and even forbidden. Now the situation has changed radically. But before you connect your life with a foreign citizen, you need to weigh the pros and cons.
More recently, marriages with foreigners have come to be seen as beneficial, especially for Russian women. Despite the bans of the Soviet era, people heard rumors about the luxurious life that is available to citizens of developed foreign countries. Many people are still of the opinion that marriage to a foreigner is a scam with an unfavorable outcome. But some girls live the dream of marrying a foreigner. Experts argue that such a marriage cannot be called good or bad. It has both disadvantages and significant advantages.
Positive sides
Even in modern life, marriage to a foreigner continues to be considered something exotic. You can treat such a union as you like, but first you need to understand the positive aspects of marriage with a foreigner. So, there are a lot of pluses:
- Economic stability and high social status. But this point directly depends on the country to which the young family will go after the wedding. Of course, if a Nigerian becomes the girl's chosen one, life in a remote African village can hardly be called economically stable. If you are lucky enough to marry a citizen of European countries or the United States, there is an opportunity to improve your well-being.
- Spouse's gratitude and good attitude. Most men will be grateful to a woman for the fact that for his sake she was able to leave her native land and family.
- Lack of rudeness on the part of the spouse. It is believed that people from developed countries have a culture of communication to a greater extent. But in fairness, I must say that boors are everywhere.
- The ability to quickly and free of charge to learn a foreign language. This is, rather, not a plus, but a pleasant addition to marriage.
The positive aspects do not end there, because everything is individual.
Cons of Marrying a Foreigner
Along with the pluses, there are definitely minuses. The negative sides include:
- Disappointment. Living abroad may not be as sweet as it seems at first glance.
- Parting with home, family, friends. Not every person is able to break away from the usual rhythm of life.
- Difficulty understanding local laws. This is especially true for the Arab countries.
This is not the whole list. A girl, marrying a foreigner, must be aware that a man can act for selfish purposes. For example, quick and unimpeded acquisition of citizenship, as well as the seizure of any property of a spouse.
It is not prohibited to marry a foreigner. But this should only be done if there is a feeling that you want to spend your whole life with this person. You should not fall for a fleeting love, as well as dream of a luxurious life abroad. Better to take your time with a decision. If the feelings of both partners are tested by time and distance, differences in mentality and language barrier will not become an obstacle to a happy family life.
