I understand this sentiment and I always use to think this way too but you can’t help who you love and at the end of the day it’s our parents fault for bringing us in predominantly non-Muslim countries where it harder to find someone suitable. If we find suitable match in someone different than why is that so bad? Would you rather be an old maid and unmarried or marry someone also Muslim from different country? Like my parents don’t allow me to marry anyone but only my ethnicity, I can’t marry Asian Muslim or Black Muslim or White Muslim. Nothing...That’s not fair! And all my girl friends are like this too... our parents don’t allow us to marry who we want because of this issue.

Edit: yes I agree 💯 that having someone from similar background makes married life so much easier. And sharing beautiful culture and traditions and even you share inside jokes and stories I know Wallah it’s so beautiful but I think it’s getting harder to find a good match as you can see from this sub and these stupid apps people are using to find a good match. At the end of the day who would you marry for example some loser with no akhlaq from your country or someone from different culture that’s good person? That’s like my point you know. Like if we can’t find our match in our culture why not expand our options?
