wasn’t sure if this belonged in wedding or not so feel free to move this thread if it fits better there mods.

So we’re from the States and my brother got introduced to this girl in Pakistan when he went for a visit for the purpose of marriage. We’re now at the stage where we need to ‘investigate’ the family. We don’t really know anyone in Pakistan who knows this family the girl was introduced through a friend but even he says he just knew her as a distant acquaintance so he can’t say anything about the family.

So now how do we go about making sure this family is legitimate, they have similar ideals, they’re telling the truth about who they are and not just trying to get a passport or something. What kind of questions should we be asking them? Never really expected someone in the family to be considering someone halfway across the world so it makes the verifying part quite difficult. We really have no idea where to take it from here, I’ve just heard of so many horror stories that you don’t really know who people are etc. so we want to make sure we’re taking all the right steps to minimize that risk.

You live in USA, pledge allegiance to USA…then why are you going to Pakistan for the purpose of marriage? It is because of people like you that the number of spinsters in USA is sky rocketing. The is a serius crisis with huge number of unmarried educated single muslim ladies in your country. The other question you asked is how to know they are not trying to get a passport. For your information just about any Pakistani can go to a passport office and get a passport…even 2 of them as a matter of fact. If you had any knowledge about Pakistani society you would not ask such naïve questions
