My Niece

She looks down at me for being a mother and a housewife and probably because of wearing a head-scarf.

She’s around 19, lives in Pakistan and graduating from a Uni. She’s like 7 years younger than me and it’s been 6 years since we’ve met but I talk to her mom(my sis) regularly over the phone and stuff.

Now, her rishta came from UK and she rejected it by saying that “I don’t want to be like her(me), I want to be free”(she probably can’t even explain this).

When my sister told me this, it just broke my heart and made me quite sad.

I want to tell her that it’s noble to become a wife and mother, and it doesn’t mean that you’re not free.

Does majority of girls think this way in Pakistan these days?

Looks down at you for being a mother? I know about becoming housewives or wearing scarfs, but mother? Maybe its all three things, accumulative.

Unfortunately, yes. Girls dont want to take responsibilities that come with becoming a house wife.
