Re: rishtas for desi girls born and raised abroad
ok i want everybodys view on this,
me and my husband came to uk almost 12 years ago. we both are born and raised in paksitan.
now general perception is everyone in pak wants to marry their son/daughter to someone who is settled abroad. but what i have noticed is people do want their sons to marry someone from abroad in senarios like where they do not have a respectable job in pakistan or not that well educated and if their sons are well settle in pakistan they want traditional pakistani bahu. in almost all marriages i know off where groom is from pakistan i find girl is far more educated/settled then boy.
my fathers brother lives in lahore he got both his sons engaged to his brother in laws daughters who were canadian national. but as soon as one of his son got admission in nust in electrical engineering and other is commissioned in army they broke the engagement.
my daughter is mashAllah 10 year old now and i am just terrified by the thought of not finding the suitable match for my daughter in pakistan.
my brother was a student here in uk and he really liked this girl she was lovely he brought her my home even her family was very friendly and nice but my mom says she would rather keep my brother single then marry him to a girl (pakistani origin) from uk.
does anybody else has noticed this?
may your daughter get a good husband and a good family when the time comes.
keep praying to ALLAH but don’t stress over it too much.
also times are changing now, by the time your daughter would reach marriageable age, you will find more people who are open-minded and doesn’t stereotype individuals based on where they are born and bred etc.
