Is it normal for a Tunisian Muslim friend to propose quickly?

I want some perspective as to wether it is normal for a Tunisian that I was friends with for four years online wants to meet me and marry right away.
He is a Muslim, a student and supported by his dad. I thought this is the best place to ask.
he has introduced me to his family who love me and they all want me to go to Tunisia on holiday and vice versa but he’s worried about how he would get a visa to the UK without marrying me.
he did say he doesn’t want my money and his family is better off than me in my opinion.
I did make an AIbu about this and I got over a thousand you are being unreasonables but I thought this is the best place to ask

1000 YABUs, huh? What more do you want? The perspective is no, it is not normal. Do NOT marry this man.

Are you planning to keep making threads about this until you find someone telling you to marry him? You might be waiting a while. Literally hundreds of people are telling you to catch on to yourself. I’m not sure what anyone else can add.

You’re clearly on the wind up. I think you need help that you won’t get on MN.

Watch a few seasons of 90 day fiance and then have another think! Will we see you on a future season in the future I wonder?
I'm British and married to a foreign DH (although he was already a citizen when we met, I didnt bring him). I'm also Muslim and although he is Muslim too, we have different views culturally. We also love watching 90 day fiance and we are always amazed at the wild stories on there.
If you are seriously still thinking about going ahead with this then a few things to do are
-Ask lots and lots of questions about his culture and his religion. These are two separate things!!
-Definitely do not marry him before meeting him and without asking about my previous points
-Go and visit Tunisia because how can you consider moving there if you've never been. Arrange your own accommodation and take a friend or family member with you

Do you think there could be a chance he is genuine

I am Muslim also and I think you'd be crazy to marry this man.

witsend32 · 17/03/2026 19:50

Don’t marry him! Men say all sorts of things doesn’t mean they are true. Let him first become financially stable and then see how it goes

Maxstress3 · 17/03/2026 20:36

I'm Muslim and would also advise you not to marry him. Firstly he is a student and supported by his father so I'm presuming he's young and never had to work as he's telling you he is better off living in Tunisia. He's miles away from you and can say whatever he wants and you'll believe it. He may genuinely be a nice guy but something seems off. I'm telling you this person is very unlikely to work. Anyway what course is he doing and can you do some digging into it. Is he genuinely a student?
You keep on asking everyone because deep down you know the answer so listen to your gut feeling

ForPeaceSake · 17/03/2026 20:41

I'm Muslim. Sorry OP but I don't think it's a good idea. Even if his intentions towards you are genuine, it would be better for him to come to the UK under his own steam rather than as your dependent, which is what he would be if he came in on a marriage visa. There's too much potential for things to go wrong if he's never lived here before and he's not financially stable. My honest advice to you would be to end it.

JustCoralGoose · 18/03/2026 00:14

I don’t think I should’ve come to mum’s snap to ask I should have kept it to myself and tried to work it out myself

I havent seen your other thread, but it seems like some posters have followed you to Muslim mumsnet with responses that don't feel understanding or supportive. However, from what you've said I really don't think this is a Muslim issue per se. It's more about the impudence of quickly marrying someone you've never met and who resides in another country. In some Muslim societies men propose after a single meeting with the potential bride, but in such cases the families usually know each other or they live in the same tight knit community and have similar cultural expectations and understandings of marriage. Your situation sounds very different to that.

I mean of course there is a very slim chance that its genuine BUT the majority (as you've found on your original post and that you're finding here too) is that its a scam.

Your story sounds exactly the same as many others who have been sold this lie before.

ForPeaceSake · 18/03/2026 18:47

*imprudence, not impudence

MixedBananas · 03/04/2026 21:07

Gove me a Vissaaaaaa and Passpoooort!

Please aister it is Harram to befriend men and chat online or in person. Chit chat leads to Shaytan and then this happens.
If you want marriage do ot the halal way through halal reaources first step is Mahram and Wali.
