How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

How do the Pakistani member’s on this forum, view inter-racial relationships? Pakistani’s in an intimate relationship with none-Pakistanis? Is it acceptable? Should it be mandatory for the none-Pakistani/none-Muslim partner to convert to Islam?

I am just curious about how Pakistani’s as individuals view this topic.

Thank you, for your time.

Re: How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

assuming this is about muslim Pakistanis, because there are Pakistanis who are not muslim as well.

It is across the board really
are they in Pakistan or overseas, how educated,
in Pakistan how urban or rural, what socio economic background
and if non muslims, what religion are they from
and what gender is the non pakistani, that plays a big role.

on one end of the spectrum you have people who will not be bothered, in my view is a minority

on other end of spectrum are ppl who will not marry outside of their religion, ethnicity, sect, clan etc etc.

*Lol i come from a interracial family! My mom converted to islam *

Re: How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

Well i am Pakistani Christian and both of my sisters are married into Pakistani Muslim families. My sisters didn't want to convert to Islam so thankfully their families are liberal minded. About inter-racial marriages, i think we should be more broad minded to marry into other races.

Generally speaking, Pakistanis do not like to marry into any family that is different from their own in any way.

As for interracial...majority of them are against and will not be accepting.

We're a bit more liberal and in our circle it's not considered a big deal anymore.. The vast majority of families we know have at least one kid who's 'married out' (and more often it's the girls).. Still v.rare to marry a non-Muslim tho (for either sex tho obviously the guys have more leeway)..

Re: How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

Totally Agreed with u there not many families in pakistan would open heartedly accept non muslim non pakistani .

So over thanksgiving, my cousin who lives in ATL, brought his girlfriend of 9 years back to TX to “meet the family”…she’s half guyanese, half puerto rican–hindu…all of us cousins have known about her forever, of course, and my mamu & mami in ATL know, but choose to ignore the situation. They did not know that their laadla was bringing his honay-wali with him to meet the family:smack:.

Ghar ka barray were not to enthused…not neccesarily because of the girls background (we are a moderately liberal family) but because of the way he sprung her on everybody…

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out…

Re: How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

Inter-racial.... that is like marrying someone in another galaxy. Some don't even marry outside biradari.

p.s. thats not my view - just how some pakistani see it as..

Re: How do Pakistani's perceive inter-racial relationships?

In the last month I have been two inter-racial weddings. One white + Pakistani and the other Arab + Pakistani.

So I think our culture is coming around pretty well!
