Re: Pros/cons of marrying a girl from Pakistan

@Umer

I was born and raised here in Austria, but my wife had been living in Pakistan all her life prior to us getting married. We have been married for 14 years and Alhamdulillah I couldn’t be happier.

Does that mean it always works out for everyone? No.
Does that mean it will always work out, if you marry someone who was also born and raised in your country/city? No.

Rather than looking at the whole scenario with a “girl from Pakistan vs. girl from your place” view, you should be looking at compatibility with the person.

I am of course aware that if you don’t live in Pakistan and have never lived there, this is probably difficult to do. You can’t really judge compatibility if you just have a cup of tea at the girl’s house and hardly exchange a few words. That’s why I never wanted to go the typical “rishta hunting” path. The reason it worked out for me was: I had the opportunity to live and work in Pakistan for 6 months. And she happened to live in the same neighborhood.

So you think 6 months is enough?
