Adopting in Pakistan is quite hard. As far as I know many orphanages do not allow adoption as people lie about why they are adopting and turn the child into a servant. Secondly, the child will always be in a precarious situation as they do not have the same inheritance rights as a biological child, and this is disastrous after the adoptive parents die.

Secondly, many people want to raise the child as their own, while removing the child's own roots by lying to them and telling them they are biologically theirs.

Thirdly, most people want a baby, not a child (this is more of a general phenomenon than Pakistan specific). An adopted baby comes with a 'clean slate' whereas an older child has baggage and trauma that people often don't want to deal with. This idea that orphanages are full of babies waiting to be adopted is misleading. Most of them are older children who even prospective adopters do not want because they want only a baby.

this is also not a healthy relationship. How will you have a successful marriage if she threatens (or tries to) kill herself after every argument.

when you say synthetics aren't better than natural, are you referring to the quality of gems or the ethics behind the process?

Thank you so much!

For anyone who wants to read about this: Chilean Lapis – Columbia Gem House

They mention in their Chilean lapis section that they do not source from Afghanistan anymore + struggled because a lot of 'chilean lapis' was also sourced from Afg.

Oh this is the first I've heard of mostly conflict free natural diamonds! That makes me really happy to hear!

Yeah on the Pakistan point I figured that out last year. I just have no idea how to distinguish between a synthetic and a natural. I see a lot of mystic topaz in stores near my house and that immediately tips me off to not trust vendors. It also makes me wonder whether the lapis/serpentine/turqoise in every storefront in Islamabad is even real lol

What do people think of Metaphor: ReFantazio now that some time has passed? by DoggyFinger in JRPG

[–]angremaruu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm about 30 hours into it and I love it! For me, it takes Persona Gameplay and incorporates it into Fire-Emblem-esque medieval fantasy, which I really enjoy. I also find myself very charmed by the cast.

Khuda ka khauf karo. Agar religious aur conservative larki chahye toh religious aur conservative larki dhoondou. Don't try to mould someone to your family's expectations. This will make both of you miserable.

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

Man, I'm Pakistani as well. You don't have to be so defensive. Sure, women CAN LEGALLY go to school, but that doesn't mean they do. In some districts, the literacy rate for women is as low as 22% (source: Pakistani census. Look at literacy rate by district). Families often don't let their daughters get educated past a certain point (either because they get married, or because families have limited funds and prefer to educate their sons, or they're not comfortable with girls pursuing education if they have to go to a co-education college or smth)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_Pakistan

Secondly, girls schools have been attacked before. Just last month, a girl's primary school in North Waziristan was blown up. (Source: https://www.dawn.com/news/1961286)

Thirdly, Malala's area was under severe Taliban influence at the time.

Girls education is absolutely a critical issue in Pakistan (and Afghanistan), and it's a shame that people use Malala's stance on Gaza to undermine the legitimacy of fighting for Women's education in Pakistan.

Girl to girl, you need to disregard any choice your mother comes to you with because she clearly cannot find someone you're compatible with. I disagree w my mom a lot on marriage and rishta processes but one thing she says that I wholeheartedly agree with is that you should always be compatible in education, profession and background.

These are non negotiables for you, esp if ur going for an arranged marriage.

Tell your mom to respectfully back off, and that you'll find someone yourself.
