I am a male and I have a liking of extreme nature to ladies of oriental features (Mostly Japanese) it could be because while at univeristy i was attracted to a Japanese girl i am probably still looking for her face in other faces..however this obsession or Preference of oriental girls still exists. I know the criteria of choosing a wife in islam however knowing myself i know that i have to marry an oriental lady. Had i marry someone from Pakistan my desire will not make the marriage work for long. Help needed. Is it wrong to desire a lady from a certain culture or race according to Sh’ria??
It is permissible for a Muslim male to choose a Muslim female as a wife from any culture or race.
