Well bhai, there's no religious (Islamic) reason behind this case.
It's all about customs and traditions in Saudi.
In Saudi, even a women from prominent tribe cannot easily marry a man from lower tribe. Although they're both Saudis. Their parents just don't approve it for some reasons. Again, the reasons are not from religious points of view.

You cannot get married if she is Muslim and you are not.

otherwise, there is no justification whatsoever. If you love each other, then you have to fight for her. don't quit.

I am an Arab and if a good indian Muslim proposed to my daughter, I will go for him.

In Islam we are all brothers and sisters no caste.......the problem is however that many want to feel they are better then others.. They are going against their religion in saying such things about you. It is truely sad. My brother In Law wants to marry a girl who is from the same country as he is she is arab but, because his mom feels the girl is ugly they will not allow it. My husband and I are pretty upset with his mom for saying this. We feel so many Muslim have lost what true Islam is about. I know where I live they don't like somalians and would never allow a family member to marry one. To me I see no difference in where you come from. If your a good man and can take care of their daughter then they should be happy. Inshallah they will change their minds.

Just a matter of different cultures. If you really want to be with her fight for her. If not then move on.

Traditions. So don't take it personal.
I have Saudi friends who are married to Muslim non-Saudis from different countries Arab and non-Arab. It can happen.

because saudis consider indians as a low grade worker who is not worthy of thier daugter

Not even Indian women want Indian men

I sometimes think parents should not get involved with their kids' marriages too much, unless, apparently that person is not of good character or sth. Disliking a person due to his/her race or religion is a bit too much.

if you are a muslim then you passed the most important thing because non muslim men CANNOT marry muslim women.

the rest depends on the society,

It's not just a Saudi thing, it happens in a lot of other places with rich cultural background or families that believe in traditions more than others. I'm a south Asian myself, born & raised in Saudi Arabia, but if a guy comes over to my place to ask for my hand, I know my parents would be reluctant. They might even refuse immediately. It's unfair, but I guess they have their reasons.

its cultural.. not anything to do with religion, cause if they follow the ways of our dear Prophet Mohammed, he would tell them, its the faith that matters most to Allah, not your race, color, look etc.
If that indian man is muslim, believes in Allah and is a good upstanding citizen, can provide a good life and home for her and help her grow in Islam and raise their children thusly, then there shouldnt be any reason for them to object. .. There are some cultural ideals that people tend to disagree with from country to country.. I dont know, but it is somewhat a tradition in India that even in Islam, the women have to provide the dowry for the marriage, her father has to practically sell her off, and the money goes to the fathers.. But in most other countries, the dowry is only given to the bride and is hers to do with whatever she pleases.. There is also supposed to be no caste status in Islam, but some families tend to take this way to seriously thinking that Indian men are lower status than Saudi women.. Sad but true.. Hopefully in the future, society and the world (Islam) can deal with this and break these barriors down.

Aww :( , well my friend, Saudis ( and i am saudi but i dont think like them at all, alhamdulilah) think they are better than everyone else and becuz there are alot of indian workers here they they look down upon them, and treat them like dirt. Sick, way of thinking, i dunno how they can call themselves muslims. Oh and they fear their reputation, like " oh look so and so's daughter married an indian!" "what? :0 are they out of their minds?!"
You should have made sure that her family was extremly open minded before falling for her :( ....cuase i'm afraid this situation'll lead yout o heartbreak.

Are ou Muslim by the way? If so then try to show the family that you are a good muslim who fears god. And if they still refuse, then they are shallow closed minded people. Or get her to have a long talk with the parents maybe they love her more than their reputation and will allow this. If you're not muslim than you can't marry her due to Islamic laws, tyou would have to convert to Islam.

Saudi woman are ALLOWED to marry NON-SAUDI men, i know this becuase my aunt is married to a Bahraini andanother is married to a Qatari. You just need permission rom the government and lots of paperwork.

Goodluck i really wish you the best and hopes this works out for you.

Unfortunately, Arab women do not meet many Indian men. Most Arabs are traditional Islamic. They do not like change. If you travel to India and get married then apply for a Arab passport as your wife. Always follow the strict laws of Islam.
You CAN become a Muslim.

Saudi women are only allowed to marry Saudi men. Plus if you aren't Muslim it is haraam in Islam for Muslim women to marry non Muslim men. Maybe her parents are afraid that you will force her to leave Islam and convert to another religion and that their grandchildren won't be raised Muslim. It's the law in Saudi Arabia that Saudi women are only allowed to marry Saudi men.

Ask me

It is not totally cultural thing. I think this is a human nature in the whole world. rich people wont accept poor people or homeless people, white wont accept black and Saudi wont accept Indian.

Don't think so if you both like each other then don't think about parents or society live just like you want. Even in India society don't like foreigner because of their frankness, modern look, outfits open sex etc.

Don't mind these things if you want then marry otherwise if you marry somewhere else then you always realized that you done mistake even you are spending happily married life then also you feel some unhappiness in your life.
