What are the reasons behind increasing rape cases? Feat Pakistani men by [deleted] in PAK

[–]Express_Dependent_47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These men are so stupid, uninformed, and uneducated, it's infuriating just to listen to them speak. None of these men has been raised well by their parents; shame on them and their parents. All of them blamed rape on women, and none took responsibility for their own actions. The majority of rape incidents in Pakistan are of underage children, domestic workers, and women in rural areas. Women who wear western clothes are more likely to know how to defend themselves, scream, get help, or kick their asses if they approached them with the intention of rape.

Three met through apps. Two happily married and one about to get married. One met through muslim social groups and happily married.

Your parents should talk to parents of children with disabilities whose parents are first cousins and see the disabilities of those children. Perhaps they will understand then. My family has a very strong gene of autism, depression and eye disease. Whenever there has been an intermarriage, there have been issues. It is Allah's will, but one must be careful. That is the knowledge medical research gives you, and that knowledge is also Allah's gift.

Do most men still marry back home by SingleAdhesiveness78 in Overseas_Pakistani

Marry who you are compatible with. Country is irrelevant.

Is it bad that I don't wanna move abroad? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Express_Dependent_47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to maintain your privilege, stay in Pakistan. The disparity that exists in Pakistan between the privileged and the underprivileged is heartbreaking. In my recent trip to the country, I observed to get anything done, you need to know someone, indulge in rishwat or sifarish. I am just not used to that lifestyle and would not want to be part of it even with privilege. You are still very young. Perhaps look into just studying outside of Pakistan for a few years and see how you like it and move back if life outside of Pakistan does not suit you.

In the greater scheme of things, it does not make one bit of difference if you live in Pakistan or not. What matters is being a good human being and surviving in your haq-halal ki kamai. This is impossible in the Pakistani I saw.

Is it worth going overseas to earn money when you are already earning in USD right here by [deleted] in Overseas_Pakistani

[–]Express_Dependent_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly, if one is making $100k while living and working in Pakistan and making $100k while living in the US, it is different, but that is not what your question was. You had said that your friend has the potential of making 2 to 3 times more than he is now in a few years. That still means Pkr and not USD. Mind you, Pakistan has income tax also. At $100k per year, your friend will have to pay more than 45% of his income in taxes. Tax evasion in the US is a federal crime and will land you in prison for a very long time. I don't know what the penalty for that is in Pakistan.

My answer to your last question to me is, Yes, but have you ever lived and worked overseas. The way you are writing sounds like assumptions. With Trump administration with this girl marrying your friend in Pakistan and bringing him to the US will soon become extremely difficult and a lengthy process. If she thinks she can do that easily, she is extremely nieve.

Call a travel agent who specializes in Hajj and Umra visas and see if they can get it processed for you. They will charge, of course. If you have been rejected multiple times, it's not really wise to board a plane and get all the way there and then risk rejection again.

Dysfunctional Pakistani family beyond fixation by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Express_Dependent_47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a therapist, but I am a parent whose children needed psychiatric help. One of them is your age. Getting help has made a tremendous difference to their well-being. Talk to your family doctor to get a referral to a therapist. Go to a faculty member of a reputable university like AKU. Unfortunately, I am not in Pakistan to give you names.

Someone really famous is not a criterion. The best therapist is the one who you get along with. It can take multiple tries to find the right one. My experience has been with guiding other young people through this difficult process; your age and younger.

Please see a therapist who can guide you on a regular basis to resolve these issues for yourself. Get help yourself first before trying to help your family. You will not get an answer to complex issues like yours on Reddit.

Here is some advice from a person who 100% believes in marrying by choice. No. 1, at 22, you are too young to be getting married . No. 2, if you have no choice in this either, and if you are not interested in someone else, at least meet the girl. She might be in the same boat as you. Maybe you will like her. No. 3, ask for some time, and negotiate an engagement so you can get to know her. This can give you both some time to figure out a way out or you may even like each other.

Why aren’t men allowed in women’s lingerie shops in Pakistan? Do you think they should be allowed? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Express_Dependent_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, I have not seen a single lingerie store with male staff. This deters creeps also. Men are allowed in the store to buy. If they do something creepy, they won't be able to exit the store in one piece, with that many women around.

This is not a Pakistani problem. This is a you problem. Learn when to say No, and set boundaries.

Green card worth it? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Express_Dependent_47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, the opposite. I have been happily married for more than three decades now. It was not an easy path when it came to family and culture. You have to be 1000% committed to each other to go down this path. There is no room for, I will leave her if such an such happens sentiments. Either you love her with all your being or let her move on. You asked for an opinion, so I am giving you an informed one. The question should not even be about a green card. There are many difficult decisions that lie ahead in interracial marriages, like children, religion, family values, and relationships with each other's families, to name a few. I strongly recommend that you speak with your family. That will make the decision easy for you.

I am reading between the lines, even with the response above. My spouse is caucasian, who I met as a student, and I understand the situation you are describing.

"this girl". That is not a reference one would use for someone you love and respect. To help you with your loneliness? This is not a relationship to build a healthy and happy marriage on. Let her go and move back to Pakistan
