Why is his mother against the her?

Re: Why is his mother against the her?

While my aunt was still too upset, her husband came to the US to meet the girl. They invited her for coffee or any casual environment so his dad could get to know her. My cousin's girlfriend refused. She said that unless his dad came to her parents' house to meet them properly, she wasn't going to meet him in some restaurant. At the time, everyone in my family said bad things about her, that she was being disrespectful and a hypocrite because she's been carrying on a relationship with my cousin where they've been meeting alone for a long time, but finds it wrong to meet him and his father in a restaurant.

Good for her, she's a smart cookie. She demanded for the respect every girl deserves and her man worked magic to make it happen.

So girls, the lesson here is don't sell yourself short. If you expect respect, you will get it. It may not be the first guy but do you want to marry a loser who won't give you what is a basic right, human dignity & respect.

Exactly! And in the end, it worked out better for everyone. Because this girl would never have been comfortable enough to invite or live with his parents in his house when they come to visit the US from Pakistan. If my aunt had gotten her way earlier (before the wedding), then she herself would have been unable to visit her son and live with him.
