Re: Sick of Rishta Issues? B**** it out here!
The guys marrying girls abroad thing I totally get Tbh, I mean I’m British born and raised and think my parents have done an excellent job of educating me and my brothers about our religion and culture and I think exactly like them, hell most people would say I’m pretty backward minded. But for every decent British born Muslim, there are 6 British born ‘Muslim’ slags. The stories I hear about girls around me are horrific, you log into face book and you look at pictures of them on nights out wearing what even some goray would be ashamed of wearing, and all along their parents know NOTHING. They give their kids freedom, and the kids not only take advantage but do every possible thing that is against our religion. When my mum got my oldest brother married she went straight to Pakistan because she knows what girls are like here, NOT ALL GIRLS, but A LOT of them. I mean I know a lot of girls who are very religious, and have been brought up very very well, anyone would be proud to have them in their life but the bad girls over shadow people like this. Parents just want what’s best for their kids, and I know that Pakistan is not too far behind with the ‘bad’ culture, everything that happens here happens there too but I don’t think it is as frequent or as serious. There are a lot more restrictions there compared to here, kids can get away with a lot worse in countries such as England and America.
It’s the same story with girls getting married to guys over there, guys here are as bad as the girls. Again not ALL of them are bad, but a majority are. Sex & alcohol are common amongst them, but when it comes to marriage they want someone whose pure hence they head back home. It’s the same with the girls, I want to marry someone who has lived a similar life as me, and in pak that would be easier. Again I’m not slating all men, a lot of guys here are good people too, I can use my brothers as examples, not blowing my own horn or anything but my parents Alhamdulillah have raised a pair of angels, and they’re obedient and put their family first. My mum from a young age has told us we’re having arranged marriages so we never even needed to enter the ‘dating game’ cause when the time is right inshallah they will find us someone suitable. My oldest brother has been married 5 years now, he got engaged without meeting the girl properly. That’s the kind of trust that is needed between parents and children. But not all guys are like that, they’ll do everything before marriage, they’ll date the said girls above, have their fun and when it comes to marriage they want a ‘pure’ girl. But why should she have to settle with someone’s sloppy seconds? That’s why they head to Pak. Not all marriages end the way you’ve said, that’s just the ones we hear about, the horror stories, a lot of people are happily married.
Then the girls coming from abroad being treat like slaves, again we only hear the negative stories, always the bad stories. Its not that common, a lot of girls, actually most of them mashalla live happily ever after, unfortunately some do get treat badly but the same can happen anywhere.
The aunties scanning, yeah that is out of line but then you just contradicted yourself with your last statement. The whole look thing works both ways, a the reason ‘unattractive men’ get the pretty girls is because they’re the ones who will treat them right because they’ll appreciate that beauty. My brother by no means is attractive, and my bhabi is STUNNING. It worked because she was willing to compromise the looks for a good man, Id rather marry and ugly man with agood personality than a fit man who will not treat me right.
Okay so I’ve generalised a lot in that post and feel I might piss a few people off so I apologize in advance!
