@jaanaan

So my wife has a friend who has been in love with a guy for the last four years. and they recently got engaged.
The girl is from a strict tribal pathan family. a frail girl but she took a stand that she will marry this guy. and despite the beatings of her father etc, she finally convinced them into giving her hand to the guy. Her father’s family has been alienated. Even her grandfather does not visit them any more

Don’t mind my ignorance but how can someone from a strict tribal family be allowed to work/have a career where there are lots of males?
