I am marrying my moroccon boyfreind in morocco i am 46 he is 27 will that cause any problems?

You guys are 19 years apart? You're basically old enough to be his mom!

But that shouldn't matter if you really love each other, and if you can overcome that, I'm sure all other obstacles will seem miniscule.

You must be rich

<i am 46 he is 27 will that cause any problems?> Uh...yea!

no, as long as you share your likes and dislikes...and the best thing is to listen and respect one another..age doesn't matter at all...

No,but don't be surprised if your not his only bride.

hm age difference isn't much of a big thing but the problems this will cause does. I'm not sure, but the people I've seen go out with older ones always have some problems, but they get over them. Just make sure you and him know how to be understanding and forgiving and all will go well!
Good Luck && congrats!

you sure that he's not looking for a passport to enter your own country legally.

NO it should work out great i meet my wife online she is now 50 im 29 yrs old and we are very happily married now and have been together for the last 8 yrs. age is nothing but a number

might cause some little problems but if u love each other then its ok.

Well my aunt married a man that was 10 years younger than her and they are still together to this day.. I think if he is indeed in love with you then I dont think age really make a difference..Try to stay sexy for him always.. keep your sex life interesting..toys, oral etc.. Best of luck.. send me an invitation.. LOL...:P

i think it would have problems in the future..i guess only...

you麓re already a little bit unsure right now.Let me tell you,it CAN cause problems.
My best friend was married to a really nice man from Tunisia,who was 17 yrs. her junior. At first they were very happy,although everybody except me warned her from the beginning.Most friends thought he was marrying her for NE reason ONLY-to get a green card.That was not the case because he never really wanted to leave Tunisia.He even got very homesick and never really felt at home here.
The marriage went well until he met more and more often with people (mostly men) from his own country.They kind of "brainwashed" him making fun of his "old" wife.
They got divorced last year.The main reason was that he desperately wanted to go back to Tunisia AND that he decided to have kids!!
He is now already married again to one of his cousins!
Have you talked with your boyfriend about family planning?It麓s important! So please don麓t rush into things.
There ARE marriages that are happy against all odds between 2 people with such a great age difference and where one of them is from a North African country but it麓s not the rule.

Age is not the problem, but is it a marrage of convenience?

Since you asked this in the Morocco section I assume you are asking if this will be a problem here in Morocco.
No it won't be.
BUT honestly as one poster said you should expect him to marry a second wife. You being 46 likely rules you out to have children with this man and it is few a Moroccan man that doesn't want to have natural children.
As an American married to a Moroccan and living in Morocco I would strongly warn you that this age difference is the first clue that this man is not genuine. I truly HATE saying that. I wish it was never the case but I have seen several circumstances like this where the man just wanted a way into the U.S. For that matter I have seen women do the same thing to get into the U.S.
On the other hand I also know of marriages with a similar age difference and the marriage is real, the man in genuine and committed (and the men also intend to take a 2nd wife because they want children~which of course is permissible in Islam but in Morocco the man needs the permission of the first wife to marry a 2nd).
I hope the latter is the case for you.

As long as you both are happy, who has the right to tell you what麓s wrong or right...
All the best and congratulations!!!

What type of problems? Love is not about age and people have to accept that. Don't look at society to accept or reject you and your husband. Live your life with happiness regardless of how others may judge you.

In terms of the marriage process, it shouldn't cause any issues, though you should expect to be asked about it. I am 4.5 years older than my husband and one judge asked many questions about our age difference. A woman I met there is 17 years older than her husband and no one questioned it at all. The issues you encounter will most likely be in your personal life and not with the legal process. Best wishes.

dont you think you are to old for him?your old enough to be his mother........

It seems like he wants to come to the West and enjoy ur money....don't do it woman!

MARRIAGE IT SELF IS A BIG PROBLEM

I knew few Moroccans who married older woman, moved to the states or Europe then divorced, went back home and married a younger Moroccan woman.
If you were a man you probably have 75% chance that it might work with a younger Moroccan woman.
Good luck

i hope not but I wouldnt!

YES! Please think rationally. These guys guys ask every woman out they come across in the hope that one might say yes. They really are so desperate to get out of Morocco. They have no hope for their future. Unemployment is very high. Bribery and corruption are rife in the country from the government officials to guys that sweep the streets.

Let me ask you? How is the standard of living at his family's home? What sort of area of town does he live in? Is he from the city or the countryside? What's his job? Can he support you living in Morocco? Where does he want to live after the marriage? Can't you give him children (this is crucial in Moroccan/Islamic culture. He cannot be without an heir).

Please think though these things and don't just go into this blindly, being swept off your feet and flattered. This is your life you talking about changing. I know so many women who have fallen into this trap of marrying a Moroccan guy (almost always a lot younger) taking him to Europe where he doesn't work because he has no qualifications. Costs the woman a lot of money. Stays with her until he can get a passport and then he's off with a younger prettier version.

I can't tell you not to do this but I can only advise you on what I know and my own experiences and observations and also by what Moroccan men have told me straight out.

I'm sorry to be negative but I really can't be anything else.

Best of luck, Safia

American 46 is Moroccan for 26 so....you are alright, go for it and congratulation.

I agree with Tampagirl and Sarah T on basically everything they said. Depending on his language skills it CAN cause you a problem getting a visa for him etc. If you cannot communicate well and have that kind of age difference they will NOT give him a visa, I know ppl this has happened to. Safia is a little right in what she says too. I would need more details to give you a better answer but really, only God knows!

as salaamu 'alaikym, my friend and congratulations!

Insha'Allah, in some ways it might.

There is almost a twenty five year difference in your ages.

That difference may, based on your individual past experience in the world, give you each a very different view of the same, how to deal with situations, understandings of world events, opinions on your personal perspective of current events, children and child rearing, the responsibilities of the same as well as responsibilities in the realtionship in general.

That having been said, if any two persons are willing to honestly work so as to establish, develop and maintain a relationship in an ever ongoing process of acceptance, tolerance, understanding and communication based on love, kindness, compassion, a sincere desire to help one another as each individual grows as well as to maintain ones religious principles and practices, any realtionship can then work.

Insha'Allah, Kadija (radi Allah anha) was older than the Prophet Muhammad (sallaahu 'alaihi wasallaam) when they married and by all accounts, it was a very successful marriage in all ways. They truly loved, respected and honored one another during the best and some very difficult times. Insha'Allah, perhaps such could serve as an example for the two of you.

Insha'Allah, "it takes two to tango" and I sincerly pray that the two of you will lovingly, happily and joyously dance together throughout this life, insha'Allah.

Ma'a salaam.

Like one of the other people said
don't be surprised if you will be his only bride
he might not be married to another woman right now, but his religion allows him to marry other younger women

Does he plan to have trisomic kids with you?

Legally, there shouldn't be any problems. It is fairly commonplace for much younger Moroccan men to marry older foreign women. But...

Please be careful and not rush into the marriage. There are so many Moroccan men that are desperate to leave their country in hope of a better life (who can blame them for that), and they look to foreign women as their escape...but with desperation comes risk. He may not be the person you thought he was...and over time this will come to light. I hate to paint all Moroccan men with the same brush but this situation is very common and rarely ends in a positive light. If you tell him to take things slowly and the relationship falters then it is best to find out now.

I do not know how long you have known him and about his family and his occupation. All of these things will make a big difference in the outcome of your marriage. Also, what about children...have you spoken of this, if not, it is too big of a question not to truthfully discuss.

I wish you the best and I truly hope that you do not get your heart broken as so many "older women" have by young Moroccan men.

Don`t worry, marry him, don`t think in problems if you love him and he loves you, then go ahead, forget the advises if he changes then you divorce him and marry again with an european man.

Assalamu AlayKum

Please be careful some relationships have ended in disaster, know what you are getting into.
I too have a Moroccan friend 23 years difference. I am not going to marry him, he may want children later on and I can't give them to him, so it is not fair.
He is applying for a visa to come to England to stay for 3 months, I am keeping an open mind, I don't think he will want to stay because he knows I don't want to, I've only lived here 10 years. I would live in Morocco without hesitation. We have no problem communicating I speak perfect French and he speaks French and English. He is the nicest, kindest man I have ever met and our meeting started as a joke, I never meant a relationship to happen.
I say good luck and blessings upon you and I hope that it works if your Moroccan fiance is as nice as my friend then you have nothing to lose just love him and respect him with all your heart and his religion.
