She was dating a Middle Eastern doctor (Syrian, I think) but there was never any discussion about marrying him specifically. When we learn that she has, in fact, married, we might expect to see him again but it turns out she has married Hans -
another Swede.
I think the Syrian character was introduced only to accentuate the racist/bigoted sentiments several characters appeared to hold toward foreigners.
