You are so right - there are couples in this country who live in hiding because they married outside their religion, or even inside if the parents didn't sanction it. There have been several cases over the last couple of years of (usually) girls being killed by their loving families because they wouldn't marry a total stranger. If I go to Saudi, I have to follow their customs, I can't drive a car, I have to dress in a modest way in public (some of you might say that was a bonus), and all this is enforced by the religious police. Why do we not insist that people live according to our rules if they want to live here?
