Fatimah, i am sure you are capable to choose a good turkish man : )

And for those who do not understand: she wants to marry a muslim and Turkey is a good choice. After Saudi Arabia Turkey is a paradise. But still a girl should choose carefully, should meet man`s family which will show who educated him and who he is.

yeah tahst right, but its weird to say i wanna marry a turk, what if she falls in love with smbdy else, no because hes not a turk?

But its hr life, shes free..!

Of course if she would find a good man who is not turk she wouldnt need this Turkey plan

 It was 50% last year.

Then it was changed due to my coming

Dear Fatima!

I am also 23 years old and just got married in Turkey. Since I am a foreigner, it took about a week and around 700 turkish lira (depending on the guys job it´s around one month´s salary). As for the paper work, you need a statement from your embassy in Turkey, you have to have translated it and your passport, and go to a hospital for some blood tests. After all these you need approval from the foreign ministry and an appointment from the marriage office. And paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.... Since these places are far away from each other in Ankara, we spent pretty much money on travelling too. This is included in the 700 lira.

Since you want to live here, after all this you have to take care of the ID paper and pay around 450 lira during five years and finally you will get a full residentship. Of course if you pay the whole fee at once you get it automatically. But you have to stay married for two years, unless the government takes it back.

The life Turkey is similar to the European standards, of course there are some differences. The prices are around the same, services (transportation, restaurants, bars) are very good and the people are very friendly, helpful and talkative. This means that they don´t like rushing things.
As for the safety Ankara is not more dangerous than London.

Before making your decision, listen to your heart and instincts and everything will be all right. It sounded like a lame pop song, but very true.

Instead of social pages like myspace or facebook you should check pages like this, where you can find people whose IQ level is more than the number of their teeth, and there is not just one thing on their mind but at least two.

Have a nice day everybody!

Such a sweeping statement!!!!  I am sure there are many Turkish men who would disagree with you.

For those who do want a "foreign wife", I somehow doubt it is because they are "more easy going"

Certainly I would say most Turkish men living in Turkey don´t ´prefer´ a foreign wife.  They might like a foreign girlfriend or two but I would say they would be much more likely to marry a Turkish girl (and this by observation where I live)

 Only two?

I´d say it´s because with a foreign wife GOING abroad is EASIer

to be wife of Turkish man,look likes to trying pick roses on a very thorny garden  (sure with many exceptions) may be very hurting,but worth to try it...
