Re: New generation's marriage issues
Hmmm, I agree that compatibility is the most important thing no matter where a guy is from. And I've seen marriages where girls have married guy from Pak that are successful and at the same time I've seen some marriages which have been difficult. There are many factors to be considered. Location in Pakistan plays an important role, in my opinion. I've noticed that guys from the modern cities (Lahor, Islamabad, etc) tend to be more educated, open-minded, and might adapt better to western life. At the same time, I've seen guys from the less developed cities in Pakistan where there is a lack of education and at times not much priority given to education and the views in such cities are more conservative.....and may even be too conservative/incompatible for a girl who has been raised in the west all her life.
And there is also the fear of the unknown....and that of course takes place in all marriages....but it's greater in such a scenario because the environment/society that two individuals have been brough up in is different. And there have been scary stories of guys from back home only marrying girls for green cards and them dumping them after coming here. I'm not saying all guys from Pak are like this. And I'm not saying such marriages are doomed for failure. They can work and some have worked. There are several factors to be considered and many aspects to be thoroughly checked out before getting taking a huge step like marriage.....regardless of where the groom comes from.
