Re: any Muslim singles
Ah I see. Interesting point. It's just so commonly used in popular culture and songs that people don't think twice. What is the afghani or pashto equivalent? I'm interested in languages of the subcontinent.
For guy?
In Pashto, it's a bit specific:
- Man is sarai
- Boy is halek
- Young man is zhannai or (zalmai in the Kandahari dialect).

Re: any Muslim singles
I'm sorry OP, but all I've heard from you in this thread are excuses. How you can't do one thing because of your parents, or how you can't do another thing because of your parents. Are you not 26, and living in a country that gives you freedom that you could never have if you were back in Pakistan? Loads of posters have given you amazing suggestions in this thread. And they are not hard to implement if you only stop making excuses. You've said you're miserable already. So if you decide to go out and actually get a life for yourself, regardless of what your parents say, what is going to happen? Your parents are going to get even more upset, right? So what? How would that be any different from what you're feeling now?
Parents at the end of the day want the best for their kids. But living in a country where the values are different from what they grew up with kinda confuses them. They're not rejecting rishtas or refusing to let you socialize because they want to keep you in the ghar your entire life for absolutely no reason. They're probably thinking of things that you don't know. But you're a grown adult! With an education! Why are you on yourself putting these restrictions?? You're not already happy with the choices your parents have made in regards to you, so why let these decisions run your life even now. There has to come a point where you have to put your own foot down. Go out. See things. Travel. Socialize. Get yourself out of this funk you're putting yourself into.
Re: any Muslim singles
When it comes to marriages, the broom is always called a “larka” no matter what his age is.
As the great Urdu comic writer Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi aptly wrote somewhere that few old desi men just get married to hear the words “larka aa raha hay”, apart from that they can’t get any benifits from the relation.

My parents can physically stop me from going out. What would you say about that? Ur talkin about travelling? They wont let me go to the next city, and ur talking about travelling. I dont even know where to go any more because plenty of the places I can possibly go are restricted by them. For example, cant go to movies, beaches, shopping alone, etc.
And if u go against them, they curse u and tell u that u may perhaps go to hell for "disobeying" them. In fact she once told me that girls shouldn't love because it hurts in the end. But the person a girl may love, is a guy too, so why only the girls shouldn't love? So can't a guy hurt either? Lame... it doesn't make any sense to me tbh. And I won't blame them entirely, just sucks they're still living in their typical desi mentality century.
I was honestly looking for places to visit in my area as I really don't want to go home right after work. But I like I said, I dont even know where to go any more. You can classify my parents into the authoritative/controlling type of parents. All these feelings, only strangers online know about. I love my parents, dont wana go against them. Id rather them know where I am and be ok with it. They're not willing to change their views. I don't care if they don't, I love them and accept them for what/how they are. But I think they should give me some space. Which is going to maybe take years for them to understand.

How? They're going to stand in front of the door and block your way out? Lock the doors? Don't you have keys to the doors? Do they not trust you enough to give you spare keys to the front door? How more dramatic are they going to get? They're going to grab your leg and hold on to it while you try to step outside the door??

Do you have a driver's license? Do you know the bus routes? Do you know how to ride a bike? You don't know how to google? Can't you google the nearest park to your house? There are plenty of hiking spots in and around GTA. There are plenty of festivals that happen every single year. You don't ahve friends anymore? Your mom isn't aware of your friends?? You can't even take your mom shopping with you to the nearest mall?

This is the crux of your problem. You're making more excuses, and you're using your parents as the biggest excuse. You're not 12 years old! You're 26 for crying out loud! If you are ready to be married, and if you're ready to ahve children, then you should be ready to be in control of your life. Main nahi keh rahi bhaag kar shadi karo. But at least stop making excuses to not do things. You've started a thread about meeting a potential here on GS. Let's assume you meet someone on GS and you hit it off, and then you present to your parents this rishta. Your parents, like almost every single desi parent out there will say a quick simple no. They will say that he is from online, us ka kya bharosa, tumhain kuch nahin pata, hum tumharay maan baap hain, hum nay tumhain kha pila kar bara kiya hai, takay yeh din dekhain jab tum khud apni marzi karo? Then you'll be back here, with another depressing thread, and you'll be a year older by then.
You're acting like you're sitting in some remote village in Pakistan, unable to have any say in your life. But you're not. you're lucky enough to be living in a country that gives you freedoms, freedoms that Islam has given you in the first place. There are women literally dying to be in your place, to maybe have a taste of the freedom you've been granted, which you don't use.
Re: any Muslim singles
Basically ur telling me to go against them?
Re: any Muslim singles
^You can go against them (hope they will come around, keep trying to convince them etc) and iA find a suitable guy or not do anything and nothing will change..
Your parents might want what's best for you but that doesn't mean they necessarily know what's best..
Re: any Muslim singles
Btw do you have any siblings who can help you.. or a sympathetic elder?
Re: any Muslim singles
Basically ur telling me to go against them?
You're the only one that can answer that question. You're not happy with the rules that your parents have set for you. You're not happy that they keep rejecting rishtas for you. You want to be happy, it's your right to be happy. Like I said, I am not condoning running away and getting married. Like Deeba said, if you don't do anything nothing will change. But parents do eventually come around. You need to be intelligent enough to know what is best for you, and the family will come around. Knowing fully well that falling in love with someone from another religion will never work for where you come from isn't an intelligent step, and isn't the way to escape from your situation.
