Please point out WHERE I wrote that dating doesn’t exist in Pakistan? Read my posts again. I said it does.

Reha claimed it was as much in Pakistan as it is overseas. I don’t accept that.

You used the word “extreme”, so explain how you know it is extreme. I asked first

My opinion is based on currently living here. I know people who are rich/ poor as well as educated/ uneducated. MOST of these people have not dated.

So your only ‘proof’ is based on people you know, yet you are demanding statistical proof from me? nice try.. in my opinion, most people that i know in pakistan have been on dates ( i have also lived in pakistan in the past). which one of us has more substantial proof?
just because people you know don’t date(or maybe you think they don’t date because obviously they are not going to tell you since you seem a bit judgmental, kinda like Maya khan).

Getting to know a prospect for marriage where family is involved is very different to college students dating (where there no solid plans to marry as their circumstances don’t allow it). Being involved in the former is sharafat and the latter, not. In fact it’s a sin to be romantically involved with some out of marriage… So how can any shareef Muslim be involved in this?

pakistan is clearly is not full of perfect muslims. everyone twists religion to suit their needs, please come down from your moral high horse thinking anyone who dates is not shareef. who are you to judge someones sharafat like that? if someone goes on dates, yet never causes harm to anyone, is not a daaku, doesn’t snatch peoples cellphones and jewlery, is he not shareef? you can say hes not a good practicing muslim (which most people aren’t anyway, there is tons of other sins people do on daily basis, not just dating).
