This statement so often pisses me off as these people have no understanding of how much commitment and hard work it requires for two people to have a relationship and decide on getting married, these “love”-cum arranged marriages are the norm in pakistani society, It doesnt really matter who saw the girl first, the guy or his mother!!!
Without parental approval, the love would fly out the window and you’re looking for the next hot or cute-looking (depending on your taste) girl at the next family GT.
