Re: So he hit me…advise now.
I hope you are not trying to fool anyone here. Women in Pakistan are allowed to drive and go wherever they want, shop whenever they like. Its got lot to do with your social class and family structure. Nadz inlaws happens to be on the conservative side of the things and thats her problem, Pakistan is not at fault here. There are plenty of British Asian women living a very restricted, mundane and even proper oppressed life here in this country thanks to their constructive backgrounds and family dynamics, you should know that and it has nothing to do with Britain as a country.
I’m frankly getting sick of this oh I’m a British born and bred so please feel sorry for me. She was not some underage bride from Afghanistan who got pushed into a forced marriage. She was a 24 yo adult in Britain when she got engaged and married, if she was so proud of her brown sahib status, she would’ve had the guts to say no to that man who had no future in Britain and clearly told her that Pakistan is an ultimate destination. Her parents and herself should’ve thought about different lifestyle, upbringing and compatibility of these two individuals, its not fair on the husband that his wife is having fits about her brown sahib identity, to the point of breaking the marriage, when she’s about to become mother for the second time. Such things should’ve been settled long ago. If you really wanna have a go at anything Pakistani, I’d say start from “British” Nadz and her “British” family who got her married for sake of getting married. With existence of such practices within British Pakistani community I don’t see how Britain is such a safe heaven and beacon of freedom and choice for us Asian women. There’s so much to life and your rights than visiting Tesco at any hour of the day…
