Advice Needed Regarding Marriage

ria, I can see why you’re frustrated. It is because you have been unable to find someone for yourself so you’re taking it out on your parents because you think they are responsible to find you someone. Believe me they are not. Yes, it would be nicer if they do but actually, it is a very natural process between two young people. Two people meet, like eachother & plan life together. It is no rocket science. I am surprised why no attraction has occurred between you and any guy till now. The reason could be what you said in your post that majority you have met are ‘too religious’ or mullah type. Im sure they think even talking to you with good intention is a sin. This is another problem that the present pakistani generation faces today. The circumstances around the world are making people consider the natural process of life & living beings as ‘sins’.

Like someone else above suggested, if you’re not comfortable dating, you really dont have to. I am sure there are guys who would share your views. So you can plan life with someone you have that kind of understanding with. Im sure your friends know about your personality. Also make them known that you’re looking for a prospect, you’ll sure find someone through friends.

I am guessing that your parents would prefer it if you choose someone of your own choice. I have seen majority of Pakistani parents prefer that. You can explain to your mother politely that you need their guidence because you’re having trouble finding someone. Explain to them your concern & if required, give them example of your friends so that they know why it concerns you. I know majority of Pakistani parents are laid back in these matters but you see, it is okay, really. No need to panic over it. At the same time, keep looking around and as someone else suggested, when the time is right, you will find someone.

Why do you think there are so many online matchmaking websites? It is because no matter which culture you belong to, it is becoming difficult to find the right match. I also think it is because of no, less or low quality social life these days. People are much more isolated than before.

You can also ask you parents to talk to their relatives, friends about you. And keep praying to God at the same time. When the time is right, everything will fall in place for you, InshaAllah.
