Salams,
So my parents live in Pakistan and I live in the United States. My parents want me to get married soon but all the rishtas they seem to have for me are guys in Pakistan that I would have to sponsor.
I feel like for most Pakistani guys the first thing that they like about me is that they can move to America.
Any other girls have a similar experience, and how has it worked out?

Your parents are in Pak and you're in the US... are you a US citizen or green card holder?
Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
Maybe you should find a husband yourself? :) im sure you can find someone decent in USA that matches your and your parents expectations.
Amnah, have u told them it bothers u and if so what did they say?
Agree with lil_ash, might be a good idea to try and find someone urself who is already in the US but who ur parents might also be happy with..

My husband is from PK....In the beginning it was very hard...it's still very hard...but things are getting better and better day by day.....

You should move to Pakistan . This way you can be with your parents and your future husband .

best reply ..nami your talkin sense these days .:p maybe cos you moved there yourself :D
My husbands from Pakistan (I'm British, born here yadda yadda) hasn't made any difference to our relationship. To begin with you wanted to settle in Pakistan, and although that was the plan my health isn't great in Pakistan so we decided to settle in the UK.
As others have said maybe you should mention the fact you feel uncomfortable about marrying someone who is potentially marrying your passport. A worthy tip is if you are given the blessings of your parents to meet potential ristaas casually say you'd like to live in Pakistan-if you can read people's faces/body language it shoul give their game away.

This isnt an option right now, as my parents will be moving here soon inshAllah....but if my husband was settled and stable in pakistan, i honestly would have no issues moving there...
Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
i do. and i think it was the right decision. but everyones different.
do you like anyone in the US? also how old are you, if your young enough, then you can just ask for time, and see what happens......
lol, i have already asked for time...not that my parents are on my case or anything...they are very understanding but im almost 25 so soon they will want me married.
Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
Have you considered not marrying at all?

Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
Your parents should definitely tell people that you intend to settle in Pakistan. That should keep the losers away. But then the problem will be that someone from a decent family in Pakistan who is not after your green card won't want to move to the US and leave their entire khandaan behind for you either.
If my parents found someone for me in Pakistan, there is no way in hell I would expect him to move to the UK for me.
Wouldn't it be a zillion times better for you to find someone in the US?
Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
amnah..yaar look at the bright side..u ll have him all to urself ;)
Re: How many girls here have husbands from Pakistan?
Tell them due to an error with your passport files you will not be able to sponsor anyone for atleast five years.
Why do people want to marry someone from Pakistan anyway? Is there any particular reason?
I have seen both boys and girls being brought from Pak.
There are enough Pakistani families abroad to find a good match. At least most of the time it is possible, if not all the time.
I think it would be better for foreign-born Pakistanis to find their match in their own country.
