Tigerlily discusses the idea of letting Adnan have a second wife

Adnan, who comes from a wealthy family, does not need Tigerlily’s money. However, being married to an American citizen offers privileges that many people from developing countries seek. It allows them to legally come to the US, apply for a green card, and eventually obtain an American passport, enabling them to travel freely around the world without the need for lengthy visa applications.

Throughout their time on the show, Adnan has repeatedly expressed his desire to have a large family. Tigerlily, on the other hand, tends to ignore this topic, seemingly oblivious to the potential marital issues this could cause in the future. As Tigerlily approaches 43 years of age, she might be able to maintain her beauty and physique for a few more years. However, she won’t be able to look as good as she does now when Adnan turns 30. Then, the young Jordanian man will definitely start looking for other women or even have additional wives from Jordan, where polygamy is legal.

Tigerlily’s unrealistic expectations and naïve outlook on her marriage will lead to significant issues down the line. The allure of an American life and the inherent cultural differences between her and Adnan are also factors that she seems to be ignoring. Her belief that Adnan will always treat her like royalty and remain unchanged is a fantasy that is likely to be shattered once they start living in the US together.
