My hubby is pakistani and I'm a gori of eupopean descent and while I have to say that both families had misgivings initially, they were all very accepting once they saw how nicely things work for us. Our issues are just about never related to cultural or ethnic background but more about day-to-day things, issues with the boyz - day-to-day types of things that every couple faces no matter what the background.
That's very nice Mamaof3 ... i'm happy for you :) ... but i was more interested in the reaction of distant relatives and strangers, and street reactions rather. Is there staring?
there's no racism in islam so all colours are good.
I wish more would think like that. I am in a relationship with a white guy, but of course he doesnt carry a tag on his forehead that he's muslim. and the normal cliche that Caucasians are christians (jews look totally different) cannot be eliminated.
I'm in one, all of my family are ok with it except my brother.. There are certain Pakistani communities that are a lot more conservative, it's defo easier in London and surrounding areas of the UK to 'marry out' than in places like Yorkshire or the Midlands where families generally tend to be more traditional..
I've been hearing a lot of how open england is, and that most of such happenings happen in england.
I hope things work out for you ... but if i may ask, why doesn't your brother agree to it? what's his argument?
If you are black - stay back If you are brown - stick around If you are white - you all right
mercenary, i've read many of your posts, which normally lean towards a more open-minded dialogue ... i'd like to more about what you mean by this ...
About marrying other nationalities.. but yes for Muslim to a Muslim.. Though I see many strange situation too
strange situations like?
what's the overall ratio of these relationships in reference to a white man going out with a paki girl to that of a white girl going out with a paki man. is there an unequal reaction to both situations?
