My daughter just arrived home from 3 months in Singapore and met a Cuban musician there. He asked her to marry him and like a silly fool, she is flying back after only 2 weeks at home to marry him. As a mother, you can imagine how frantic this has made me and all her family and we are trying desperately to talk her out of it.

He told her that his contract is up at the end of March and he will have to return to Cuba and he fears he won’t be able to leave again. Somehow they think by getting married, that piece of paper is going to make it ok for them to travel wherever they want. I would like to to present her with some real, hard facts if possible.

My question is, how are Cubans getting all these jobs in Asia. There seems to be many Cuban musicians over there. What kind of visa/passport are they traveling on. Do they all return? What happens if they don’t go back.

My daughter is Australian, what are her rights if she travels back to Cuba with him?

This is really distressing me as she knows nothing about this boy and I want to stop this marriage before she makes a huge mistake. Any advice will be helpful as I’m not familiar with Cuban culture or laws at all. I have lived in Venezuela for 3 years and do speak some spanish..that’s about it.

Cubans do work around the world but they have to behave and return to Cuba when their work in done.

Love is strange all around the world and who knows, this may work out but I think the odds are against her.

Marrying a foreigner is like swinging for the fences. Cubans try to marry themselves off the island especially for a nice Australian girl.

So, I’m not sure any mother can talk her daughter out of marriage. Just have her read this forum so she at least understands that some Cuban marry their way off Cuba.

regarding Cubans be abroad for working they are om contract works by the cuban goverment mostly
that means that they are under control and they can not easily walk away from the director of theyr mission
and dont forgett suposse that they walk away.where they can go?with no knowing nobody?
Cubans they acting in the living today basis
they think only for today with out worry to much for tomorow
if somebody will give them 1000 Euros they spend them all in one moment with no taking care what they eat tomorow
i am married with a cubana and i have figured out that Cubans they can not live outside of Cuba with no way
