And by “back home”, I mean out of the western world. Pak, India, blah blah blah..
Why do parents bring their children out of their home lands, or leave and settle down to start a family out side of their native counties, if they intend to marry their children off to individuals over there still?
It’s obvious that no matter how much a country advances, mentalities are never the same due to atmosphere/ surroundings, upbringing, etc etc..
Over here (US, Canada, UK…), girls and guys are brought up to be individuals. Guidelines, rules and expectations are, obviously, set, as with any other community location. But are those rules/ limitations always the same?
For the sake of an example, if a guy and a girl are both from Pakistan and are arranged to get married, they both (somewhat) know what to expect. Where as, if a guy from else where is arranged to marry a girl from Pakistan, neither he or she knows what to expect, but, for the most part, the girl is willing to adapt and molds her self to fit into her husbands life style, because those are the morals she’s brought up with.
But what about when the tables are turned? Say a girl from the West is arranged and marries a guy from Pak? More than likely, she will not be moving to Pak to be with him, so he will be coming into HER environment. Is he taught to adapt and mold himself to his wife’s lifestyle? Is it a mutual understanding of what is to be expected when the guy comes to live with the girl, after all is said and done as far as visa and all that jazz goes?
Does the guy expect his wife to give up everything or some things that she used to do? Does he expect HER to change her lifestyle, still, to mold to what he likes?
Can mentalities really match in these types of situations?
