I don’t know why people here, even sensible well educated people, have this extremely warped perception of girls back home. They seem to think they will have no brains or personalities of their own. Unless you go pick out a girl from your pind, you ain’t gonna get someone who slaves around and doesn’t respond to being treated badly. If anything, I find people from back home to be a lot more forward thinking than the desis here. Some Pakistanis in the west still seem to be stuck in the era in which they migrated.
I have a friend who has been born and brought up in the UK, she is getting married to her boyfriend. She, of all people, had the audacity to say that she wants her brothers to have an arranged marriage with a girl from back home because she will respect her parents and look after them more than a British girl would. It angers me SO much when they make these assumptions
