Yes, but itsn't as common at all. The average woman in the West is married to a man who is only 2-4 years older and is of a similar background as her. Compared Western Xalimos to the ones back home. It is very rare to see a wedding of a UK or Scandinavian 23 yr old Xalimo with a 45 yr old man, yet it is common back home.In the west there are also women who are after money and they often date older men in a sugardaddy relationships.. I think men especially Muslim ones should treat women with respect and honor their honor not spread false rumors or slandering on social media, the reason for dating someone is with the intention of marriage if you are musim, during this period you can test out how you match and your chemistry etc.. If you have money and marry a poorer woman one should still honor her and give her the best possible life he can afford... But unfortunately we have seen some men who take advantage of poor women back in Africa, they go there and become sex tourist, this is very wrong and against our deen and culture.
Actual statistics shows that the poorer or less economically advanced a nation is, the bigger the age gap. Why? Because priorities are very different for women and families back home.
