Anyone know about someone being in an Indian & Pakistani Muslim marriage relationship.
Do they happen these days - due to the ‘cold war’ situation between our two countries.
What are the ‘visa’ etc issues?
Any major cultural differences they experience.
How have people on the ‘other’ side treated them.
What are the problems they face.
How are their Children - confused or same.
Any other experience, you can add.

Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
one of my online friend is married like that.... she is Indian and her hubby is Pakistani........ last time i heard from her.... she was pretty happy MashAllah!!!
the thing with their couple is that....they both havent lived in their motherlands..... totally brought up in america... so it was easier for them to adjust.
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
I think it's becoming quite common nowadays, obviously how well the marriage works out also depends on how open-minded the families are as well cos it means less pressure on the couple.. I know a couple of marriages (Pakistani boys and Indian girls) and they seem to be doing fine.. Regarding cultural differences Pakistani/Indian obviously isn't nearly as different as you get in big cities in the West.. black/white/arab/oriental, it's all happening now.. don't see why the children would turn out confused either, it's only a big deal if u make it out to be :)
It does seem more common with Pakistani boy and Indian girl than the other way round tho
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
I know a lot of these. I don't think rhere are any issues, other than playful teasing during cricket matches.
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
one of my cousin is married to an indian...n they r very happy mashAllah..
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
I think if they are living in a neutral country then it works best , and yea they both should not be a huge fan of cricket :D
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
I am married to an indian guy and I live with his family. They are good for the most part except for some dumb comments made by his mom earlier on. since then he's talked to her and she;s stopped. We weren;t born back home and we don't watch cricket so it's all good!
However, sometimes especially earlier on in my marriage I used to wonder how it would be different if I had married a pakistani guy. I feel like our mentalities are slightly different. I feel like Pakistani's are more outgoing and Indian;s are more simple. But I couldn't have asked for a more caring hubby. I know alot of aunties and uncles like this, not a big deal imo.
Re: Indian & pakistani muslim marriages - and their lives.
I know lots of these too ... but all the couples live in the west (US, Canada, UK). Its very common in my inlaws ... my fiance himself is technically "Half Indian and Half Pakistani". And he is great :D There are no visa issues with these people I know because obvi they live in the west. It's kinda cool how when they make trips "back home" .. these trips include visits to Pakistan and India .... just imagine all the amazing shopping opportunities girls! :) :) :) One of my friends tells me that she luvs being exposed to both and has never had any problems adjusting. Being Muslim and a "desi" comes foremost. I have never heard from anyone that they they were treated differently "by the other side". I only kmow this from the kids perspective tho. But I have never heard of the couple themselves ever having any problems adjusting either. There are obviously some cultural differences but there is plenty of things of common too. I feel like its the same as "inter marriages" within Pakistan.... a Punjabi marrying a Pathan.. i mean obvi there are differences... even language ones. But if everyone is meshing .... who cares. :) Not that long ago we were all "India" anyways.
