^ its the other way around too. Some people reckon if they get some naive lil girl for their ladla, that she will be kept under the thumb and obey all their commands as well.
This case is not unique.. its like many others. Why dont people just learn.. why dont parents just be parents
I agree with Sadzzz. This view seems more common to me. It's similar to the reason why some desi parents choose to bring a "bride" from the motherland assuming that she'll be more "innocent" "naive" "mold-able" and "submissive" and "obedient" than the girls born and raised in the west.
I would imagine that parents would hesitate to bring highly educated daughters for their "anparh" sons.......fearing that not only will it make him look inferior....but that she might even put on "airs" about herself.
