I always found that pakistanis living abroad were the ones with the backwards mentality. The ones living in pakistan were more forward thinking. Because when those folks left pakistan - they left with an image of what pakistan was back then. What they were ignorant to was the fact that pakistan continued to move forward when they left and eventually move past them. They think that when they left pakistan just stopped progressing. That 1950s pakistan image will always be ingrained in thier minds as a result.

People living outside of Pakistan are more insecure, being in a foreign land and all. So tend to often hold on to their culture and traditions more firmly then their counter parts in pak itself. Its a natural tendacy of all people. Becoming so insular and conservative is a defense mechanism against the vagaries of an alien society.

In this case, the daughter became what the parents had dreaded most.
