Do you live in Pakistan ??
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Arabic lady, you mentioned that you are from egypt, im not sure if people from there are more laz about their daughters marrying Pakistanis, however - I know for a fact that Saudi Arabs are very much against such unions, the ladys that I know that dared were declared dead by their families and now dare not return home. Makes you wonder what paki guys ever did that was so bad :-)

***For my Parents its only IMPORTANT if he is a MUSLIM , and ALHAMDULILAH he is ***
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
mashallah you have nice parents:blush:
well first go visit pakistan, i mean at least the city where your fiance liveā¦cause thatās the place where youāre supposed to be after marriage, so at least go there to figure if you could adjustā¦
second meet his family thereā¦and spend time with them, to find out if you would e confortable with them, and if they are accepting you
third, if you really love that guy and like pakistan and his family, learn some urdu, i donāt know if all his family speak english, but itās best to learn cause many mother in law donāt speak englishā¦so to have good communication with his family..and make them like you, a lil bit of urdu would surely help;)
and finally as most people said, he and his family are THE key to your odjustment to pakistan..cause they will decide where you live, if you are allowed to work outside the house, and which jobā¦the quality of your life: joint family or not, etcā¦
ps, iām a muslim european going to visit my boyfriend family in pak this summerā¦for same reasons as u:D:blush:
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
**Salaam **
**Yes his whole family speaks english **
**Iam taking Urdulessons right now :) **
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Wow the video was really great, but it was only showing the really best sides of pak. That's surely one side but there is also such things as poverty or other "culture shocks". On the other hand i think egypt and pakistan are quite similar...
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
of course arabiclady. You can live in Pakistan..particularly islamabad very good place. good luck.
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Why dont you get in touch with the egyptian embassy in Islamabad? ask them about number of Egyptian women living in Pakistan, specially Islamabad. And if the embassy has female egyptian employees, why dont you ask them about their experience of Islamabad.
I am sure you will love it in Islamabad. I did!
Just be aware of the fact that ppl there can take advantage...i just dont have positive experience from pakistani ppl living in PK. but thats just my version.
And pls dont marry the guy before u have visited PK. just for ur own sake:)
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Thank you alot guys.
well getting in touch with the egyptian embassy is a very good Idea :)
I will do it.
**How could they take advantege of me ?? **
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
well I can tell you how I felt being taken advantage ofā¦
I lived in Pk for 6 monthsā¦had some āfriendsā there..one was getting married..helped her out with most of her wedding shopping and threw her party n stuffā¦but at the end her mum said that I was doing all that cuz i was expecting something from the family..that I had some bad intentions with it..so I got very sad..this girl didnt even said sorry or ask me what happenedā¦i was there for her all the time she needed help..but when she was on top of everything she completely forgot me and ignored meā¦i have felt very used..not just by her but also by others..
just dont be too sweet to ppl in pk..u seem like a nice girl and i fear that u may experince ppl being nice to you just for the sake of their stuff and then ignore u..believe me, this has happened to me so many time!!!

You know, this gets me every time. Pakistani people are some of the worst about compromising when they move to other countries. Bradford is practically a Pakistani ghetto, yet we're supposed to hop on the train and rush to compromise not only when we go there, but here as well.
I mean, come on, I don't make people wear jeans to my house, or cook American food when I invite them over.
Why can't you guys be a bit more accepting of our culture and tradition as well. I was told that I should wear shalwar kameez and speak to my kids only in Urdu because I became Pakistani when I married my dh.
Arab girl - good luck - I spent a lot of time in the middle east before marriage, and was pretty shocked when I went to Pakistan the first time, because I thought I was going to an Islamic country. They have their own version of Islam and lots of cultural traditions which are more important that Islam in a lot of families.
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
ArabicLady! Welcome to this forum. I think one very important thing that all the people missed out is to find out what is the educational level of the family of your sweetheart. If their family is fairly educated, then it won't be an issue. But if his family is not, then think twice about it.
However, it is a new world out there and at times marriages don't work out. Same hold true for intercultural, interracial and intracultural, intraracial marriages. If you love him dearly and he reciprocates the same feelings for you, I don't see why you should not give it a try. If you won't go for it, it will pierce your heart all through your life.
Best of luck, best of wishes!!!
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Par i wasn t really knowing tht u r already so much compromising ......
Par kiss ulluuu naay kahaa thaaa app kaay ..tht get urself settled in PAK.....

Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Amana are you arab?
If not then how is your chaap shaap relevant to this thread.. 
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
I'm from a Lebanese Christian family, so yup, that makes me Arab. I am also a convert, married to a desi. I've lived in Toronto, London, Beirut, Islamabad (where I was a member of a foreign wives club and thus met several other Arabs married to desis), and finally the US, so it's not as though I don't know what I'm commenting on.
The question was "Can an Arab girl live in Pakistan?" Since I am an 'Arab girl', and I've actually 'lived' in Pakistan, I would say I'm pretty well qualified to answer.
I completely stand by my earlier answer. It's really difficult for someone who grew up in an muslim environment or has studied Islam at any length to live in an environment where so many unislamic things are passed off as Islam. When I refused to participate in Shab-e-Baraat, I was practically accused of blasphemy.
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Coming from lebanon, you lecture us about islam?
Go figure! 
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Soomro,
maybe you can't read - I was raised in a Lebanese CHRISTIAN family - I converted as a college student and studied Islam extensively with an alima in Saudi Arabia for a year... I am fluent in Arabic and am a hafiza... may I suggest glasses
Re: Can an ArabicGirl live in Pakistan??
Still it doesn't allow you to come generalize ALL of Pakistan (pakistan is not just punjab or islamabad).
As I said and still stay firm on it, Islam AND Lebanon are not a good connection. Even if you are open-minded about it you would agree. I don't see arabic islam better than a regular average joe's islam out there. Saudis are no standards.
