^^^ See in our culture, we don’t usually see single/divorced women living on their own. If they do, it’s only for studies or to get some work experience. Only the super courageous, that are used to it do that and eventually move back closer to family. No wonder we just wait for a guy to marry us so we can finally leave any attachments with family.

But is this more of a semi permanent scenario or is it only temporary just until their parents find a guy for them so they can finally settle down. If they are Pakistani, then they are more of the exception rather than something that will be common, don’t you think?

All the girls I know who moved away were professionals so maybe that is the difference. I think both girls and boys need to live on their own to grow up as adults. My boy moved for studies and I feel he matured so much in one year. Parents of two girls are very religious. Maybe girls need to be more assertive about what they want to do.
Two Pakistani sisters moved from Canada to Europe, father was very religious. Girls studied to be lawyers, they were very dark but gorgeous and Pakistanis didnt find them beautiful, they are now living with handsome goras who really appreciate them.
