I do not understand, why girls these girls are feeling helpless for Rishtas?
They are living in an open society, and sure interacting and socializing with our Pakistani families, why the cant find a suitable partner among these peoples.
I do not believe the crap of parents pressure, as due to nature of society and the way they brought up, I am sure once they found their love there is no way parents could stop the thing.
The parents only come into the picture when the girl or boy either does not have any “strong” preference.
I am fairly conservative and modestly religious person, but for my own children i am willing to accept their choice as long as they meet certain criteria.
In fact i would be in a big headache if they really need our help. As there are very good guys in Pakistan, but due to standard of education in Pakistan. I doubts they have ability to build decent life outside.
