I wonder how your parents can say such mean things to you I.e. no girl would want to marry you. My elder sister is fair and bil is dark skinned. My sis never had an issue with it nor did my parents while accepting the proposal. My bils parents had the same thing in mind (if their dark skinned son would marry a fair girl, the kids are gonna take after their mom). This did not happen though. Who cares we all love the kids so much. I have this cousin who is an amazing young lady with dark skin. It breaks my heart to see how her own mom (my khala) looks down upon her eversince her childhood.

thanks for sharing..I sorry to hear about your cousin. I can relate. My parents have same thoughts ur bil’s parents. I feel sometimes they aRe taking anger on my job choices on my skin colour. I’m not how they wanted me to turn out.
