I think its a very interesting question that chicklit has made. And i agree only those who have experienced it can answer better. I do think where a person is born and bred have alot to do with how he/she comes out to be though ofcourse there always are exceptions.
I agree. Although I was born in Pakistan but my up bringing took place in new york, which was evident during conversations with a born & bred Pakistani woman. But brief conversations, which do not count for much, have been the extent of my experience with someone who is not a product of western ethos. Marrying someone from a different but not totally unfamiliar culture would be a considerable change if only more difficult for women of west back ground. She was shocked to hear that both of my sisters worked, drove cars, painted their own rooms etc etc, in essence were very independent and yet married guys of my parents' choosing.
We always hear from girls who have married, or those that would never, but id ont think yet we've heard from a guy who has married a western-born woman. We'd like to c the replies :)
I'll make sure to share my experiences if I were to marry a Pakistani (born and bred) woman.
