Salam Alaikum

I'm a Muslim male intending to marry a Moroccan girl. I've visited Morocco too to meet her and her family.

We met on the internet and after 4 months of contact, I visited her last month.

We're not yet "officially" engaged but like each other overall.

Can someone from Morocco please tell me something more about Moroccan girls and their cultural norms.

I mean what is it that they expect from their fiances, whats considered acceptable, whats recommended, whats not accepted and 3yeb etc.

Is it natural in Moroccan culture for females to *ask* for money/gifts from their fiance's?

What are your cultural norms regarding the guy spending on the girl. Its not that I don't like to spend, but I just want to be sure its a Moroccan cultural norm and is natural there, coz for me thats just very odd for a girl to *ask* a guy for money/gifts before marriage, even if she is engaged to him.

Actually I love spending money and gifting friends and family and my intentions with her are no different. Just that I find it strange that I haven't had the chance to do by myself, except for the sweets and chocolates that I bought for her when I visited her house for the first time.

Is it maybe coz girls like to show off their gifts to their friends? Or is it just coz its natural and she thinks I might not be aware of the culture of gifting in Arabs, so shes just helping me along? Is it coz she's become overly attached and is already "treating" me like a husband?

Any help from any Moroccans will be much appreciated.
