Re: Marrying out of your culture
I wouldn't mind marrying out to a different race at all, but only if we share the same culture in some way like we were both brought up in the West for example. There has to be something similar. I couldn't marry a native American who'd lived in the Amazon jungle for all his life now could I?
Re: Marrying out of your culture
I wouldn't.

As long as your both muslim right? I think children will need strict guidance if you have two religions/cultures/ideologies etc

Too much work, I like to be lazy when I can be
Re: Marrying out of your culture
marrying out of ur culture makes you appreciate your own a bit more :)
seriously though, if you are really into your own culture, speak the language etc etc, then it would matter. . if one barely speaks their own mother language, etc etc, it wouldnt be a big deal.
Re: Marrying out of your culture
i have a friend who can't understand a word of hindi, and is considered majorly batameez by desi standards (no rakh rakhao, mehmaandaari, etc) just because her parents NEVER made the effort, yet they want her to marry someone indian and possibly even someone from back home. It makes absolutely no sense since she doesn't even have an ounce of desiness about her. On the other hand, my other friends and I are pretty "fobby" in terms of speaking urdu, desi rakh rakhao so I don't think I would be happy with someone that wasn't Pakistani. I've had rishtas from guys that were Hyderabadi and stuff but even that is difficult for me since I'm from a VERY punjabi family and it would be a clash of 2 different cultures.
