Kids of mixed marriages face a myriad of challenges

Saudi children of non-Saudi mothers live normal lives here as do those who
are born to Saudi mothers since most foreign mothers are eventually granted
Saudi citizenship. However, given their multicultural and multilingual
upbringing, children of non-Saudi mothers are faced with a number of
day-to-day challenges.

�I have a major problem in communicating with my maternal relatives who do
not speak Arabic. I try to communicate with them in English while also
learning their language � Urdu,� said Khalida Bin Mahfouz, a 13-year-old
Saudi girl whose mother was born in India.
�My mother, who is Saudi now, is well aware of our culture. She speaks good
Arabic. However, at times I feel sorry for not being in touch with my
maternal relatives,� said Bin Mahfouz.
