A friend of mine is 50 % pakistani and 50 % surinamees. His old man is a pakistani and his mother from suriname
He doesnt really look like a pakistani, but he is a muslim and does speak a bit urdu.
He s kind and verry verry well educated and is a good fellow. ( I know him for 10 years)
Would any of the girls here marry a person who s 50 % pakistani? ( or boys )
His parents did ask several girls, but they said no, cuz he wasnt 100 % pakistani. And the boy wants to marry a pakistani girl.
p.s. I m not looking for some one for him but am asking your opinion that if u knew someone like him and he wanted to marry u, what would u say to him?

I agree with your statement whole heartedly but folks bring up the argument of culture clash and its not practical. Families don't get along and so much more.
nope. y cuz i dont know how hard or easy it wud be for us to blend in in two cultures at the same time. i am more comfortable with some one of similar back ground like mine. plus wudnt the kids be confused as to where they belong?
p.s i do approve of it if the couple can work it out ..great.. cuz in the end its their lives not anyones else's :)
It's important to me that the person has 100% Pakistani heritage...however, if I fall in love with someone who isn't 100% Pakistani, then as long as he is muslim, I'd be fine.
my sis's best friend is married with a turkish guy & she thinks there is not fun in being married with one who is from other country ...they are very very different from each other ..eid par uss ne apni beti ko chorian (bangels) pahnieeN with some nice pakistani outfit and her stupid hubby made fun of her :o when ever she comes to my sis's house she is always like dying for pakistani food coz gaar meiN they eat turkish & danish food and etc ...it could be diff in other cases i belive not all the husbands r jerks like hers :( oh well i just wanted to share this !!
but mehroo, that is one bad example out of so many because there are also couples not sharing like heritages that “connect” quite well, trust me…i can share “happy ending” stories of at least 4 couples in this situation, so it all depends really.

Ms Femme, please explain. What is it about being more Pakistani that changes so drastically your choice in a man?

Well if his Pakistani half were more dominant there would be less cultural differences I guess!

Well if his pakistani half was more dominating than his non-pakistani half then yes I would go for it.

I think marring into different nationality is AWESOME as long as both are Muslim (or share the same religion) who cares.
I guess the problem with some people is that they don't like change, it scares them, they hate learning anything new, like languages, foods, customs and etc.......
With some people all their friends are THEIR OWN KIND and that's how they like things to be. I think that's fine but for me its just too damn boring. As for me I love the whole idea of diversity, I think its awesome.
"IF" I'd ever get married it would definitely be someone who is of a different nationality then I am, someone who speaks a different language then I do. I hear a lot of people say how its hard on the familles and etc....... please there are some families that find fault in their own familles themselves, so screw that whole idea.
I don't hang around with only my kind, I would never marry anyone that is of my kind, I would never want my children to be brought in a world like that either. I am MUSLIM FIRST AND FOREMOST, anything after that who gives a damn. Nationality is nothing and Religion to me is everything!
Maj: You are so right. Religion is everything. I think Muslims and Buddhists make excellent partners. They both covet religion. Oh yeah..Muslims and Jews too...or for that matter..Muslims and Hindus and can't forget Muslims and Christians. Religion is so cool...diversity...better gene pool. Aahhh god is a smart woman.
coconut, i understand..there will always be people who'll have problems and concerns with others around them..no matter what...even if one belongs to same nationality.

CH, in some cases YES I would agree with that.
