His family won't accept me because I'm not Arab

I know him personally, he is god fearing and respectful. He wouldn't use me in such a way, he is honest, so he tells me everything. And I've been to Jordan and he wasn't married then and I've been in contact with him almost every day. If he was married, he would tell me. Plus for him to come to the UK, I would need to have a job that earns me �18,600 a year. He rather go through study visas and work visas than use me.
I don't think he even wants a plural marriage. He just tells me that he wants to marry me and to keep his family happy. And that he is trying his best to find a solution.

Assalaamu�alaikum,

In Islam there is no prohibition of marriage between tribes or nation, and which are prohibited to marry is Muslim to non-Muslim.

Allah says in the Quran (2):221
And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.

Therefore, not because of the tribe or nation is used as a measure, but their faith.
Often some parents forbid their children to marry with other tribes, though one faith, and usually the parents like this do not understand about Islamic law especially with regard to marriage cases between tribes or nations.

Allah says in the Quran (49):13
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.

Or because of the customs are still strong in their family, or it could be there are other things that still consider.

You don't need to despair, please try to compromise with him well, then you submit the final decision to Allah SWT.

Sometimes what we think is good, but not necessarily for Allah, and vice versa. We only ordered by Allah to do with fully effort, and the final decision only on the will of Allah SWT, as mentioned in Quran, (2):216.

Hopefully this will be useful to you. Insya Allah.

Wassalam,
