LoginWomen who chose to marry outside their culture have spoken candidly of their experiences and why they felt it was time attitudes changed. For some women who have chosen to marry outside their culture, the battle to convince their family members can be very challenging. Others feel that once the initial shock subsides, families are more than welcoming anyone new into their culture. Whilst a lot has changed in the past two decades it is far easier for a man to marry outsdie his culture than a woman. At first my family were a little against it but once they met him everyone was fine. They basically want you to be like their mum after you are married to them.

Their plan for me is to find a Pakistani boy to marry as soon as I finish medical school, yet they disapprove of modern dating and essentially any pre-marital relationship. For years I internalised this as the norm, but when I turned sixteen I began to question all the rules about dating, virginity, and modesty.

As an FOTB fresh off the boat cisgendered, heterosexual, female graduate student from Pakistan attending Tufts University in Boston almost 40 years ago, I was careful not to stray too far from the cultural codes of my desi Muslim roots. I was 21 years old. I was a rebel to be sure — and a budding feminist to boot — but did not want to stray off the expected path too far. The big rebellion was that I fell in love with and married a man from Karachi — an Urdu-speaking mohajir, whereas I was from the dominant Punjabi ethnic group of Pakistan, which comprises most of the Lahori elite from whence I hailed, and who routinely look down upon Urdu speakers. They had gotten this misconception because my dad at the time was posted on a UN mission in Kano, in northern Nigeria.
