At least the ones who live in Europe or America. I am not talking about the one who are on work visas here, but the ones who call this home. For one, and probably the biggest, they don’t have to worry about getting married to their cousin back home. Since there are so many of them in the West, they don’t usually have to go back home to find a spouse.
Their parents aren’t against dating, or going out, which means no hidden boyfriend, or online relationships with married guys pretending to be single. Then, most Indians push their daughter to do good in school, and pursue professions, so no bored 20 somethings sitting at home, on Facebook all day, doing mostly nothing, or following the 10 year plan at community college.
Seems like they have it easy compared to Pakistani girls who have to worry about getting married to cousin, strict parents who don’t let them go out, limited selection of Pakistani guys, feeling guilty for not acting religious, etc etc.
Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
do all pakistani girls feel the pressure of marrying some cousin back home? in my family no girl is married to a cousin, back home or otherwise. I think that may be limited to certain ethnic or socioeconomic background, I actually dont know of any girls who have any pressure to marry someone back home, well except one and even she ended up marrying her college sweetheart. Indian girls do have pressures against dating and going out, even when they are in uni, from what I have personally seen. I think that most indians being hindu dont have the cousin marriage thing, so that simplifies it for them, and if pakistanis look at cousin marriages as being allowed and not being as a must or preferred option then it would make life easy for everyone.

Just look at the number of threads on that topic in this section. Every week there is a new one. Either that or marrying some teendabbywala back home because their mungni was done many years ago.
What you said is akin to saying that since I am not unemployed, no one else is unemployed.
Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
but by the same logic, majority of girls even on GS have not posted such threads, so your statement then is akin to saying that if some ppl say they are not unemployed, no one else is unemployed :)
I think it is an issue mostly present in certain ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, in others it may be a consideration but not a huge issue
PS: would you rather that they marry some teendabaywala in tejas than some teendabaywala in lyalpur? dunn be hatin' playa
Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
Um, not true.
Are you talking about Indian Muslims or Indian Hindus? I know Indian Muslims who marry their cousins so much.............they ALL look alike! One girl ran away from home so she wasnt forced to marry her cousin.
My parents suggested our cousins but never forced us to marry them.

Sorry bro, I am going to disagree here. Indian parents are definitely more liberal than Pakistani parents - which applies across the board. I am not saying that there isn't hoish behavior from Pakistani girls, the percentage is lower. One of my cousins friends couldn't even hit the gym since she was afraid of people "talking" - which to me, seems extreme, since the women in my family regular work out (some at women only gyms). Honestly that why I prefer Pakistani girls. At the club, whenever I see a South Asian girl, I assume she is Indian, I have been wrong a few times :D
Fathers, Brothers, cousins and male friends take it upon themselves to be all up in Pakistanis girls business. Whereas my boy Rahul was trying to set up me up with his sister.
Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
I agree, but while they are more liberal in general, it does not translate into do whatever you want either when it comes to dating. the larger point was about the marrying cousins from 'back home' thing, which I still think is limited to specific ethnic and socioeconomic combos.
Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
^ because Rahul is hindu.
Majority of the people here are Pakistani's so obviously we see their issues compared to the indians. Majority of my friends are Indian muslims, and they seem to have the same issues as us. The cousin marriages, people in their bussiness, over protective brothers/fathers.
I don't see a difference in us and them.

Uh no, Indian Muslim parents are more likely to "let" their girls go away to college. Like living in Cali, daughter gets into MIT, they are more likely to send her out to the east coast. I am not saying all of this to show that someone Pakistani parents are "worse" just the reality of the matter.
Cousin marriage is not exactly an Islamic thing, its much more cultural. Pakistanis and a few other muslims groups tend to believe in that tribe, biradari, caste nonsense, where they try to marry off daughters within the family to keep the "bloodline" pure (ironically having the opposite effect, genetically). Sure cousin marriages are permissible in Islam, but so is camel meat, I don't see everyone running out to get camel burgers.

So you go to the clubs, and that's ok, but you "appreciate" it when a girl will not so much as go to the gym and work-out her body for her own good health and instead sit at home, because God forbid someone think she's a ho-bag?

Now that is a rare momentary lapse of otherwise excellent comprehension skills, isn't it?
What he said was that he finds it "extreme" that someone would not go to gym just because of the fear that others would comment. :)

So, what do you call guys who go to clubs, then?

I know he said he found the gym thing to be a little extreme but he did say he likes Pakistani girls because apparently they're more modest and he doesn't come across them in clubs.
PyariCgudia has a point.

Re: Compared to Pakistani girls, Indian girls have it easy.
people on this forum seem extremely conservative compared to the pakistanis i have met in real life. but if people are like this, then definitely indians have it way easier adjusting in the west. atleast 3/4th of every indian couple i know of in the US picked their own partners, usually someone they met at school/work, and had simple weddings, both husband and wife have real jobs. girls on this forum seem quite out of touch with the real world, to put it mildly..

Quoted 4 Epic Truth
Although you will also meet people like me who are more liberal than any Pakistanis you will ever meet in real life :)
