Frist of all I KNOW that not every pakistani from Pakistan is like this but the general population is! Beside I am just soooooo MAD right now so need to say/ask this and again sorry for generalizing
Why does pakistanis think that girls born and raised in the west are liberial like its a bad think would they rather have talibans??? or would they want someone who are stupid and can be their slaves?

As if the boys are any less 'liberal' (before marriage anyway)..
Hear hear I hear what your saying but for the record I married a most conservative woman, who is born and bred in the UK and while many look down on such a thing from back home they dare not say it to my face.
I think the hypocracy is in some misguided individuals not the Pakistani people as a whole… stop putting everyone in one blanket for crying out loud.
Hypocrisy is a part of human nature. We all make contradictions between what we say and do....sometimes unintentionally (we may not be aware of it), sometimes intentionally....some are more hypocritical than others. Can I be a hypocrite? Sure. I admit it. I've caught myself making contradictions sometimes. It's not confined to a particular race.
Also, it would give the thread a more clear direction if you explained what happened between you and your fiance and his mom. It could provide a more constructive purpose to the the discussion.
A worryingly lot of the time I think the answer to that is yes.
Though I think you are obviously generalising I do feel your pain
Once in Pak some of my relatives were discussing some weird backward tradition that they believed to have stemmed from Islam. I spoke out against it immediately to which a lady turned and asked me if there was even any concept of Islam in the Uk, thus rendering my points completely invalid.
I don’t think our society is going to change anytime soon. I used to have hope and make an effort to help our society progress, but now I don’t care much and just do my own thing. At the end of the day, we just have to answer to Allah (swt) so just do good, and forget/forgive what people say/do towards you.

I cant find any of those examples in my family. who ever comes from uk, usa we just treat them with respect and dont make assumptions about them.
but i have been a victim of such attitude when i came to uk.

By reading OP and general comments, can i say that ABCDs generally think that their relatives in Pakistan are naive and they don't know anything about modern values ( whatever they are) and normally think that whatever they know is end of the world and if anyone have different point of view ( by anyone i mean a guy/girl from residing / born and brought up in Pakistan) then it is wrong...
Tut tut. Using liberal like it's a dirty word. I understand your frustration though. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet a Pakistani girl irl who isn't borderline stealth jihad. (I don't get out enough I suppose)
