I don't think they do. I mean, it isn't a rule or something. If some people came up with this Idea (I saw a similar scene in a bollywood movie btw), that doesn't necessarily represent their religion, does it? Second, in the islamic marriage the man doesn't usually exchange vows with his bride, but rather with her father (with some exceptions). That means he'd have to renew the vows with him, not her. (not that romantic, huh?) First of all, do non-muslims USUALLY renew their vows? I don’t think they do. I mean, it isn’t a rule or something.

(I must point out the episode when aurther insists its called "cats up" instead of "ketchup") Do arabs have vows? I dont think they do, so why renew? I picture an arabic mans vow: "I promise to keep you happy so that you can cook for me and keep me happy and full" renewing such a vow poses a threat,because he wants to keep that vow, and if he keeps it..the woman loses her mind because he is supposed to renew them etc etc and the end result is a lot of wasted money... Moral of the story: Dont renew vows you can not keep. I guess every sitcom has taught us that, and for the men, remember to write you vows, and the speech from "When harry met sally" is just plain cheese. That was a hilarious episode.
