Hello. I have seen conflicting information on this topic. I have previously reached out to the Interests Section in DC but they were unable to give me a clear answer and instead referred me to a website which is inaccessible.
I have read online that the Islamic Republic will not recognize the marriage of an Iranian man overseas to a non-Muslim woman unless she converts to Islam. If this is how the law is implemented, it would not be in line with the Shariah of Islam which, as I understand, allows such marriages to women from the People of the Book.
Because the non-citizen wife of an Iranian man is eligible for Iranian citizenship, this is a detail which could have important implications for spouses of Iranians. If you have details, please share the information here.
Does the Shi'a jurisprudence differ in this regard?

Hello. I am an alumnus. A few years ago in 2021 when I was a student, there were ads posted around Vancouver campus for a "make friends" app called Dawn.
I went on this app to make friends as a 3rd year without any social circle. I didn't end up making any lasting friendships from the app. However, I did meet a girl who would very quickly become my girlfriend and as of 5 months ago, my wife.
According to the below article in the Thunderbird, the creators of this app are UBC students Vincent Kwong and Ernest Tsui. I had a hard time finding people on LinkedIn who match that description who were UBC students in 2021.

This is a shot in the dark but if you are Vincent or Ernest or if you know of a way I can get in contact with them, please let me know. I would like to thank the two of them from the bottom of my heart for introducing me and my wife. I don’t know if they made their app as a resume booster or a fun little personal project to practice coding and have some fun but it has had an enormous impact on my life and I would like to make contact.
Thank you for reading. Best of luck to you all. Never underestimate the impact you can have on a person's life, even without knowing.
