WHY is it that if a Punjabi boy marries a Pathan Girl...

Then his parents will be happy for their son to marry a Pathan girl… BUT, if a Punjabi girl wants to marry a Pathan boy, her parents don’t want that to happen.

And if a Pathan boy wants to marry a Punjabi girl, his parents will allow this, but if a Pathan girl wants to marry a Punjabi boy, her parents will NOT allow this?

So the boy can marry a girl out of his ethnicity, but a girl cannot do so.

I am generalising, but i want to know why this is? Who has the answers?

Maybe boys have more freedom to choose?
