I’m memon. We wear saris with stomach showing. It’s the Gujarati influence. But like everyone else who is muslim people have moved away from these things and even with saris you find a way to cover up. Still have weddings in our families where people show up in traditional Gujarati sari.

Saris aren’t in fashion now so not worn as much.

I dunno, who cares. I’d be marrying the guy. He isn’t showing his midriff in a sari so what do I care.

constipation?

I make fish and rice as a staple in my home. Fish is popular in Karachi. Obviously, a lot of fishing off the coast line. We are a memon family so our staple like gujratis, is rice. Also staple for us is vegetables/daal on a daily basis, rather than meats. We aren’t known for our karhais, kababs etc, that’s more traditional Punjabi/Pushto/Balochi type meals (I have no idea what’s common for sindhis). But I’ve always grown up in a rice based and vegetable/daal/fish based diet. Meat is had in small portions and some memon families have gosht ka saalan (gosht curry - goat meat) as a staple with rice. It’s made in our home daily - for my dad. Mom’s family was always more vegetable/daal based, rather than goat curry.

And anyway, do Bangladeshis really eat that much fish? And even if they do so what? Maybe that is why they have great hair.

You are clearly not prejudiced against Bengali culture nor do you seem to be holding a grudge against Bangladeshis for separating from Pakistan. It also speaks to the maturity and levelheadedness of the Bangladeshi guy that he isn’t hating on all Pakistanis for the brutalization of his country when it was under Pakistan’s rule or for the horrible genocide of Bengalis at the hands of Pakistani Army in 1971. If he isn’t giving off chauvinistic vibes, he must be open to marrying into another culture. And just as well because confining to your own ethnicity or racial background puts you at a disadvantage, potentially weeding out a perfectly compatible match who could prove to be just as good a spouse as someone from your own background.
