As for Middle Eastern individuals who have migrated to European countries or the United States and have adapted to Western Culture, things are different. In most Middle Eastern households, parents may not have an ultimate say, but they do have a heavy influence on where their children end up getting married and who they see throughout their late teen to early adulthood years.

Courtship is done with the parents’ blessings from both sides, and it is agreed that it is only to make sure that the relationship is going on the right track. In the culture wherein seeing someone from the opposite gender with no intention of marriage may be considered sinful, courtship is an excellent way of actually finding out if an attraction could end up in marriage or not. People from the Middle East tend to “court” people rather than go on casual dates, in line with the religious practices.
