matter to you?
If you are an urdu speaking family, would you prefer an urdu speaking husband/ wife?? Same applies for Punjabi, Potwari’s etc?
Would you marry someone who is a Muslim but is not a Pakistani?

It matters to my parents/family/khandan so I guess it matters to me too.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
i already did :D
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
Agree with you Dubaiwali and I'm just thinking, it definitely makes adjusting alittle easier...I was having this conversation with a few friends the other day and they were saying no it doesn't matter, as long as he's Muslim !
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
I agree too. I could go on and on but it's k.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
There are few races which I think I can never get along with...like memons, egyptians, somalis and indians but my kids might think otherwise.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
sorry i didnt read "pakistani"..ya it does matter 2 me n to my parents if he isnt pakistani...infact my parents wud also see if hes memon or not..so ya..!
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
Same as my parents. They would see if he is Punjabi/Memon or not.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
who cares what the race is as long the people you're ending up with are nice .... i dont see people too heavily involved with keeping their traditions alive anymore ... in fact it's going lesser and lesser (traditions) ... so the question of we do the goud-bharai like so, and we do it like so are just absurd ... cuz their is and will always be a point of understanding and accepting .... unless one is so selfish about his/her own background, that you refuse to mix n match ... and always make sure that 51% of the ceremony is like how you do it!
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background…
i guess as long as she is pakistani and muslim, it should not be an issue, So yeah has to be pakistani/indian and muslim, others are a :nono:. Jahan tak punjabi/urdu speaking/ memom/ pothwari/sindhi ETC. goes well agar kisi ko nahi karnee hai to das hazaar bahaaney hain lekin agar adjust karney per aao to … khair thats my opinion :k:
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
It did not matter to me when I was looking around. All I wanted was a Muslim and Pakistani.
Now you can sure bash me around on adding "Pakistani" to the list but everyone knows what they can coupe up with and I thought at that time that any Muslim other than Pakistani origin would be just too much for me and her to adjust.
I and my parents were open to any ethnicity other than above defined conditions.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
I wanted a Muslim, i got a Muslim. End of.
I wanted a Muslim, i got a Muslim. End of.
Maroush, I wish all the girls could think like you :D
P.S u dint have n e qualms about pakistani, arbi etc.
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
i can go on and say that i want a pakistani and muslim grl too ... but to be honest if i really like someone whoz an arab i'd probably go for that ... yeah being a muslim does matter thou
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
Chinese Muslim . I heard they are such a good wives .
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
You have to make adjustments no matter what race or ethnicity you marry into. Even if you're the same, the adjustments are there and at times even more so because of the family backgrounds.
Bottom line is: if you want it to work...nothing can stop you.
My point exactly :k:
Re: Does your partners/ future partners cultural background...
Okay I dont see whats wrong with wanting a Pakistani (Muslim). anything else (caste/race etc) is too narrowing IMO.
It was never an issue for me.
