Double standards

@Reha

I think jahil is jahil no matter where you grow up or are brought up.

I know people living in the US who didnt send their daughters to high school kyun ke haat se nikal jayengi.

I still think its jahil.

I’ve heard of parents deciding to move back to their home country if they end up having a daugther …i guess with the view that “haat se nikal jayengi” if they were to be raised in the US.

The worst I’ve heard is parents (who already have kids)…and expecting another child…contemplating keeping the child if it’s male…and giving it away (if it’s a female) to another relative.

^ Sure..posted in another thread

Another example that’s been listed here–where parents won’t send their daughters to college or HS for fear that they will become out of control.

Forced arranged marriages/exclusively marrying cousins only no matter how unfit the rishta is.

Hmm…I haven’t personally run into, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I were to find out about it. I did know of one family where they forced their girls out of university because they thought they had gone out of control, but those weren’t recent immigrants as far as I remember.

Yes, have acutally met with the people…interacted with them for a good amount of time.
