Abstract

A field study on a sample of women married to foreigners and members of the Al-Rawnq Organization in Benghazi"

This study explores the marriage of Libyan women to foreigners and its impact on family dialogue within Libyan households، it examines the level and nature of communication in these families and how cultural, linguistic, social, and legal differences affect family stability and child upbringing. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected from (64) Libyan women married to foreigners in Benghazi. The results show generally strong communication within these families, with most husbands from Arab countries and Arabic serving as the main language at home. The Libyan wife plays a dual role in preserving Libyan values while mediating between cultural backgrounds the study concludes that the main challenges facing these families are legal and procedural, and that their children often struggle with institutional and societal acceptance.
