Re: Pakistani girls marrying outside their ethnicity/culture???
Right so, I’m British Pakistani and I want to marry a non-Pakistani guy(well he kinda ‘proposed’ to me). He is half Italian and half Brazilian (Muslim revert). He is breathtakingly handsome, polite nice guy and he knows how to appreciate me. I have learned to speak fluent Italian and a bit of Portuguese. But why are Pakistanis against it? They are looking down on me saying things such as I’m betraying my ethnicity
There are hills and mountains between us.Also at the same time ,I love my culture and language, so I’m afraid of losing my heritage and not passing it on to my kids.Furthermore, I’m worried that my parents will struggle to communicate with him.Not to mention the difference in culture.So yeah, don’t know what to do?
Btw I’m Kashmiri (Mirpuri), my family are pretty traditional, backwards and narrow-minded.None of my female relatives have married outside the stupid caste nevermind the race.If i marry him, I’m certainly not looking forward to the gossiping fearsome aunties.
Pakistanis ,would you marry outside your ethnicity? What do you honestly think about girls that marry non-Pakistanis? Should I go ahead?
For me, my own ethnicity is the first preference but if I don’t find any then I will definitely go for whatever is available. the way you describe that person, I think he is not much different than your own ethnicity (except the language) and you should go for him.
