AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Shamin Baal is a Muslim living in Birmingham.
She married Ali Najaf two years ago when she was 26,
six weeks after him only once.
"I didn't go out on with boys. Although my
parents have adopted some
aspects of western , and my father wanted me to
have a career and be
financially, he considered it his
responsibility to find me a
husband. But he would never have arranged my
marriage. My parents
organised the introductions, but the decision was mine".
"Ion someone with a good family, higher education, a
of humour and the ability to communicate. These thingsforever,
while romance and physical attraction soon fade!! My father
thought I was being
unrealistic!! 'This isn't a fairy tale', he said. 'Mr. Wonderful
isn't going to drive up here in a
white Mercedes'. But I couldn't learn tofor anyone ordinary".
"I'd seen several men when Ali was introduced to me. Wevery well
immediately and I knew I wanted tomy life with him. Neither of us had ever
been with anyone else, so we didn't need to feelof previous relationships.
Love grew as we got to know each other. I definitelythe right choice when
I picked Ali".

historia de amor !!
