Marrying a Pakistani man ...

Re: Marrying a Pakistani man …

VERY true. Nikah while islamically correct and absolutely legal and all, does not allow people to live together without rukhsati in PAKISTAN. The culture and our society doesnt allow it. This is a HARD fact and those living in Pakistan would know this very well, and possibly Pakistanis abroad too. I didn’t understand myself why her parents could allow this. Society does NOT allow it in Pakistan and the MIL has to consider society even if the girl’s parents are not doing so, because if nothing else she has daughters to marry off and wants to be respectable (I am presuming this). Hannibal is correct in all these points.

You want to LIVE together, even for a while, then do **RUKHSATI. **
