    1. Dear Sunjay
      Already dating by telephone for over 2 years now…
      Purely by accident I might know the “girl” (she is a woman looking much younger than she is). Yes, she lives in Thailand. She converted to Islam because her dating friend asked her. Now wearing hijab. I am a family member of her and would like to help the two of you fulfilling your dream by financial or other support. But than you have to mention me her first name or the town she is living. For private reasons I do not mention it here. I could send you a recent picture of her. We should be sure that we talk about the right person. I hope she told you about her private live. She did not tell me about having a serious dating relation, but my wife and others told me.
      Hoping you read this and will answer this and when “ it is her” we can exchange email adress or LINE information.

    2. Dear Sunjay,
      by accident I found your message. One of my family members is a Thai woman who now (december 2025) is online dating for 2 years and a few months with her Pakistan friend. She converted to Islam because this friend asked her and is wearing hijab. It looks to me she is a devoted muslim now. She did not tell me about this all and I did not ask her about, but my wife and others did tell me. Could you be her friend?
      I would like to help realizing the ultimate dream for the two of you by supporting you (financially) if needed and if you agree. You can trust me that I keep things secret. I only have to know if it is really you and really her… So if you can give me her first name or the name of the small town in North Eastern Thailand where she lives, we can have contact. I would like to help her so much, because she is a sereen and kind family member. I would like to welcome you as my “brother” and friend! I my self am not a muslim, but could be one too, because my sympathy for your precious religion. The woman I mean is not a “girl” but a woman. She has a beautiful young face, but inner beauty is more important.
      Peace with you,
      Suryan

    I am in the process of renouncing my Pakistani citizenship. If during the time of marriage I have two nationalities and later Pakistani nationality will be cancelled. Do the marriage certificate will still be valid after I will have no pakistani citizenship?
