it is not proper to discuss subject as political or religious matter. never ends well in debate, and always get offended to someone. so i will not try to go into debate regarding this matter. the subject is under "Marrying in Muslim countries" 

But i wish to ask you one small favor. as you are from UK and i am from Saudi. please do a research about Saudi and UK crimes. let’s take the "hadd" law in crimes such as "murder, theft and adultery/rape". see who is higher and who is lower, UK or Saudi. as i believe numbers does not lie and Saudi Arabia will be far lower than UK.

you have deferent law regarding those 3/4 crimes. to measure the success of the law is by how lower the crime is that law effects.
