Out-of-Topic: Are you referring to Basel, the Hungry Syrian Wanderer? Well, let me volunteer an educated guess. Probably, Basel is avoiding the complications this early in his young life. Remember he's Syrian raised in Arab tradition and his family is whole and complete.

The cultural implications are severe for a Mid-Eastern guy to bring home a wife back to a family who doesn't know her well. The wife has had to adjust completely to a change of lifestyle, and adapt, and make the supreme sacrifice of assimilating cultural imperatives she has no previous knowledge of and experience about.

FYI I've been a resident for extended periods in KSA and had the opportunity (before the civil war erupted) to visit Damas, Lattakia, and Homs for the most part during my annual leave which lasted 40 days. I had lived, slept, dined, and interacted with a western-oriented Syrian family of 5 whose son is a very close friend whilst I was an expatriated OFW in Saudi Arabia. They treated me so well as their house guest (nothing I could ask more!) and I enjoyed my stay tremendously(!) if you know what I mean! The stay was invaluable in all counts to say the least.

I know what I saw on a person-to-person basis. I can say that the cultural demands can take a heavy toll for the uninitiated wife. If push comes to shove, it isn't going to be fair if Basel will choose his wife over the sentiments of the members of his family. Arab family values are not similar to ours in so many respects even if many (and Basel probably is!) adhere to the Druze Christian faith. I don't think Basel is prepared to handle the possible consequences. And that's only for a start.

BTW, you may suggest that Basel should just resettle and live in the Philippines with his wife for good. That may sound logical, doable even but you have to know how strong Arab family values are to appreciate the difference. Trusting this helps.
