Hi, Hope this is the right place to post

I have a friend how has recently got engaged to her tunisian b/f , she 1st met him a few weeks ago when she went over to visit him, She has now told me she plans to marry over there, i am very worried. Any way the reason for this post is would her marrying over there make her Tunisian nationality or would she still be a uk citizen, I am scared she is unable to get home if she becomes a tunisian citizen. She has children and imo she has not known this guy long enough to think about marriage (only split with her husband few months ago) i think she is doing this to prove something and it is going to go wrong somehow, I hope not though, we have been friends since childhood and know the way she thinks , if someone says don't she will, so i can't even advise her till i know all facts of what she is getting into.

I think your friend and her new husband will soon be both in the UK. Marriage to a UK citizen allows him the right to come here.

I don't mind that really i just don't want her stuck over there with or without her children, there was talk of him coming here but thats when she was planning marrying here, then she told me this yesterday when i mentioned my invite she said can you get to tunisia, i was in shock, she is over there just now but returns tomorrow, so going to have to have words that not going to back fire , as i said if he is here i don't mind as then at least if something happens we can look out for her, over there we can't x

Reminds me of Deirdre and Samir Rachid. Samir came to live in Weatherfield with Deirdre having obtained British Citizenship through his marriage to Deirdre. They had a choice of living in either Morocco or the UK.

Thanks sandy and graham, feel a little more relieved for now, will just keep an eye on the situation.

I married an Italian but this did not make me an Italian national. He lives here but is still Italian. Graham you made me laugh remembering about Deidre! So many of these marriages come unstuck Bunny. You will probably be picking up the pieces about a year from now. I am glad she has a friend like you who is concerned. When you say that she went there to meet him I imagine this has been an internet matching. Why would he be in such a hurry? Can you not caution her to get to know him first. Split with husband few months ago, so she is out of the frying pan into the fire. Tell her to cool it, have a fling if necessary but marry, right now, nooooooo. Her children are her top priority and the fact that he has already proposed kind of says it all.
