@lay.an_s: Like bro what do you expect #arab #middleeastern #arabparents #ArabTikTok #marriage

🫒 سلمى :

Meanwhile the boy they want u to marry is a misogynist and he’s already talked to a bunch of other girls

gigi :

thisssssss! and then they ask when they’re getting grandkids

Nour ‘-‘ :

It’s so confusing and dreadful when the topic gets brought up too

nana :

This is why you gotta live your life and decenter your parents

Danielle 🇱🇧 :

I’m in my 30s and they are still waiting. Little did they know I still blame them and I’m clueless. 🤣

Farouha ❣️ :

REAL n then get mad when they see u friends with opposite gender still

Mira🐣 :

The way I was just ranting about this about my Albanian parents

wahaf08 :

Omg don’t get me started on this

usercantsu2 :

It’s not an “Arab” thing it’s a Muslim thing and that’s the right way, you don’t have to get “randomly” married lol there’s a process of engagement and ta3aruf. Dating will never help trust

🩷 :

idk if it’s just my parents but sometimes i can’t even talk to my own cousins 🌝

￴ ￴￴ ￴￴￴￴ ‍ :

so thankful my mom is not like this omg

Leeeeyuhhh :

Yup and got divorced 2 years later 😭

angiethomas :

My mom was furious when I started dating my boyfriend in 2023. Now we’re married and she loves him. To make it even better, he’s American

Hoda Cleopatra𓂆 :

And then we get divorced in 30s because they didn’t warn us

Rebel :

And this is why I’ll never get married or have kids. Wild to think I’m probably one of the first in my lineage as a woman to not have kids or get married by choice. Such a fucked up mentality we grew up with.

🪽⭐️pumpteenie :

Im breaking this stupid ahh cycle fr

🩷✨🎸💜بتول (perchance ꨄ) :

as someone who’s parents are very chill now, you just have to break that mindset away from them. Defend yourself always. They will eventually get sick of it and let you be. Only do this if the only consequence is like getting yelled at or not something too bad.

sarah :

No like literally

user37382929655 :

I always think about this

Sam :

real

sam :

yasamin :

the audacity

gekumekindagirly :

Crazy work.

Brynna Alqahtani :

My husband is Muslim. We obviously didn’t do it the “right” way according to his religion, but seeing girls in his family have to go through this is so scary!!! I can’t imagine the terror of having to marry a stranger. I respect it, but it’s a hell no for me 😂

clowey :

No literally
