Re: Two options…

Lajawab:

Option 1:

Go to Pakistan get married…

Cheaper cost…

Most family there already…

Variety of girls to choose from…

Better chance of finding a ‘good’ girl…

Option 2:

Get married here…

Option 1 with the points are my mother’s viewpoints, 2 is mine…

When I told her, her own nieces were born here and grew up to be exceptionally good ladies, she told me it was the upbringing…My argument is, can there be no other with similar upbringings here?

I know there are some very insightful and able and Muslimahs here in the west…But where?

The circle of Desis where I live is so miniscule, hardly anything leaves the local grapewine…One option is going to the biggest Masjid in the area and getting the word out with the Imam…But I have kept that as a last resort, sounds sort of desperate, you know…

And Naseeb is out of the question…Just looking at the ages of the kids there depresses me…

Anyways, I tried but have no pros to back up my argument and have consecutively lost every argument with my mother…

Give me some pros about marrying in the west…

ISNA convention is set for September. Have you signed up already?

It is apparently a good place to meet ‘good’ Muslims. Give it a shot and put the word out there that you are open and available.

Re: Two options...

Lajjo, you will not get into the teapot with miss laisy daisy. You can stay put next to the Mad Hatter.

Re: Two options…

Mehnaz, meeting people at conventions like these is so blase…For me at least…

Let’s try the proper channels first…

And thanks for the tip…:Pagri:

Re: Two options...

I have to say .. I'm 97% of the same mentality as Lajawab on this subject.

Though after careful logical analysis, I'm veering away from my original plan of going to Pakistan for a bride and leaning more towards favouring where I am currently for the bride hunt.

Importing a bride from England got scratched on the basis of having few if any significant advantages over one from Pakistan.

I still favour actually holding the wedding in Pakistan. In my family individuals pay for themselves to fly to weddings in Pak, and you can do a faaaaar more grandiose wedding in Pakistan than you can in Canada on anything other than an astronomical budget.
