something I dont get about some of these marriages....why do people date a non-Muslim for years and then all of a sudden decide its important that he or she convert for marriage? You didn't care about it then, why now? It seems like its just to appease parents or society and its really unfair to the person having to convert.
that's generally what it is on both counts!
Wow, that’s the first I’ve seen.. Good for them tho

Marriage with a NON musmil and marriage with out of culture but muslim is Different...

Re: Marriages to Non-Pakistanis/Goras
really nice thread I must say. Well we have few inter-cultural marriages in my family(iranian, afghani, australian, french, english, indian)
the first marriage outside pakistanis was my mom's khala who went to cambridge to study and fell in love with an english guy. My moms side is highly educated even her nani was a graduate, so you can imagine, they were very open minded, but still initially she faced some issue but later everybody accepted. Pretty much all of these marriages are fine.
I am married to an indian, he is from south india, a wonderful person. We met in university, he came to canada to study after high school, and ended up settling there.
his family was ok the only thing they wanted was that the girl should be muslim. On the other hand my family was not to happy ( they are ok now, but my dad thought my hubby may take me to India and they may never see me again :)) I think we both blended nicely in each others familes. We moved to India last year, and got first hand experience living close to his family, they still treart me like a gori sometimes(even though my hubby is more gora than I am ), but overall no complains.
For wedding arrangments we didn't have any issues, we both knew we wanted a small wedding so we had small marriage ceremony. I hate rukhsati scenes wagerah(sorry to those who like rukhsati) valima was in india, my inlaws came to canada for shadi, then they left, we followed them 3 weeks later. His father went all out and did a HUUUGGEE valima (which both me and hubby didn't want but were ok for his family's sake)
One of my very good friend married a sudanese guy, they had some issues convincing the faily but eventually they did. We all knew the guy from uni. he was a really really nice guy..but now he is the fav SIL of the family.

Re: Marriages to Non-Pakistanis/Goras
wow. I never thought this was possible, Pakistani girls marrying white/black men.
All I knew (from a Canadian) that whenever Pakistani girls have to marry white/black men, they have to run away as their parents won’t allow it.
But its amazing to see this happening :k:
Re: Marriages to Non-Pakistanis/Goras
^It's so much more common nowadays.. my cousin married a white guy in the eighties when it was really considered scandalous but now amongst my parents friends no-one bats an eyelid.. marrying a black man is still v.rare but IA this will become more accepted in the future as well..
