What stops you from marrying a revert sister

Marriage Advice

Asalamu Alaikum,

I want to ask the brothers on here what stops you from marrying a revert sister?

For context I am a 25f revert who lives in the eastern part of the US. I grew up in very strict Christian household and went to a private religious school. My mom was a stay at home wife who took care of the kids and the house. She had her own personal side hustles but nothing too crazy. With all that being said I was raised traditional and want a very traditional spouse and marriage.

The problem I’m running into is that most of the traditional men in my area who are looking for a spouse want a born-Muslim. ( a virgin ) Which is their preference and their right. It is just frustrating as a revert to navigate. On the flip side the other men here are too liberal and not traditional enough for me.

It seems as though my options are to perform Hijra to a Muslim country to better my odds. Second is to become a second wife. I am not opposed to either of these options.

Is there anything I can do as a revert to make myself more appealing?

  • If you are going to say find another revert. Then men I have talked to still fall into those categories.
