HOW TO GET OUT OF AN ARRANGED MARRAIGE PLEASE HELP!!

Ramz —

I'm a bengali girl looking to get married to my Pakistani boyfriend. My desi parents are trying to set me up with desi guys. :roll:


I have to sit through meetings with greasy desi's. I don't believe in arranged marraiges so how can I explain to my desi parents that I only want to marry for love?


Any advice will be appreciated.

Dave how were the withdrawal symptoms while you were away? (or is it broadband, so whenever the comp is on, you are loged in?)


you could do a study on internet addiction.. see what cures it....


then I can use the curesafely knowing it has been tested...


You — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 - 02:55

well... it took you no time to regain your crown as uber dave.


Is that because of always-on broadband? (so you use your pc to do work... but as internet is on, you continue to browse at the same time... and forget about your work like I used to at uni...)


if people read this they will think we (well I) are sad... such a poor topic...


But hey people already thionk that, so I have nothing to lose!


:twisted:


nevermind... cheney is far more interesting...


Dave — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 - 02:57

ohhh right


yea it's the broadband thing - also I go to a college in a small town so there is little to do.


And since my girlfriend goes to a school far away I have to really cut the normal social activities down.


Most stuff on campus is centered around meeting people


I spend most of my day working on my project and doing pushups to not turn into the "flabulous" dave

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]TEN HOT TIPS ON HOW TO GET OUT OF AN ARRANGED MARRAIGE


1-Uni Bum


staying on in higher Education is very succesful in avoiding an arranged marraige all u have to do is get into Uni (thats easy-just choose sociology :twisted: )


Work hard in ur first year, take a year out to travel, complete sec year, take another year out to travel, finish ur last year, mess up ur last semester (just tell ur teachers that ur emotionally traumatised by ur parents trying to force u into marraige :twisted: )


take a year our to travel, do ur masters, then ur FINISHED!, take a year out again, spend some time "struggling" to establish urself


by this time u shoud be 29 or 30 well past the sell by date-ur parents will be so desperate to get rid of u they will wed u to whoever u want 😃


2-You dark horse


As an asian u should know that no guy wants a girl who is darker then the average cup of chai. So visit the tanning salon, wear gold to make u look darker :twisted: and put on weight


if ur not "slim and white" then no one will want to marry u


3-Holy Moly


No one wants to marry a religious extremist. Sprout views of terrorism and everyone will run away frm u


4-Be A bum


If ur a guy-get a crap job. No dad will give u his daughter. And if ur a girl do NOT learn how to cook and clean and make ur extreme radical feminist views clear. No guy will want you


5-BE HEARTLESS


just tell the guy/girl that ur parents are trying to set u up with that u NOT INTRESTED. do everything under the sun to make them go off u


6-Big up single life


tell ur parents that remaining unmarried is good for u as an evil son/daughter in law will just "take u away from ur darling parents"


7-Commit suicide


this is a great cry for help. It gets ur point across and parents realise how serious u are. There's one draw back though.


Your dead.


8-Dress Down


If u a guy dress either like a freshi or a black guy. If your a girl dress like a tart-whilst guys do like to bog at such woman-no guy will make u his wife


9-Insult the potential mother in law


Nuf said.


10-Just say NO!!!


if ur a girl and ur parents are strict then just call up someone-either a scholar or an organisation that will help u out of this mess


if ur a guy, just be a MAN and put ur foot down. After all what can they really do?


But just remember after u have said no NEVER take a holiday back home. unless ur really stupid and cant see whats being plotted.


GOOD LUCK[/quote]


loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool MS that was so funny, I needed that 😃


I'm still in the same situation and I don't know what will happen. I asked dad if he would take me to Hajj so we'll see what happens. At the moment though I'm having doubts regarding my boyfriend :?

hence going on to second masters next year after a year out....

MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 - 12:08

[quote="paki_gal"]......tats y i object against love marriage..........

wat u lot think???[/quote]


i object against both kinds of marriages


cos I don't believe in blindly following parents decisions NOR do I beleive in doing LURVE before marraige


the answer is somthing between the two

[quote="Darth V-Hayder"]your yet to find out..........doin it yourself aint easy, trust me

Sirus — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 - 12:21

tell me how it goes.....


situation: you like that person, you both ask the parents.....and one or both say no

u like the person


u ask the parents


one or both say no


u get depressed for one week


u get over it and realise that there are plenty more fish in the sea


u start liking someone else but u learn from ur mistakes and try not get attached at all to the next person u fall for


not that hard is it?


MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 - 12:26

[quote="Darth V-Hayder"]nope


but it aint a week


unless you barely liked em :lol:[/quote]


length of time it takes to get over sumeone depends on how attached u were in the first place


safe option is not to get too attached in the first place

very good point, i did my final year dissertation on the portrayal of arranged marriages in the media....my findings showed that the british media cannot distingusih between the two different types of marraiges...although they tried....there is a clear difference

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]ramz cant have an arranged marraige if she's hooked on someone else :roll:[/quote]


sure she can... she just has to agree to it.


she can always unhook later on.


hav faith that god nows best and do the right thing.


Seraphim — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 - 20:09

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]so she should marry someone else whilst she loves her paki boyfriend


ruin that the innocent guys life and bring grief to his family?


great advice Garfield :roll: :roll:[/quote]


You forgot the part where she unhooks herself from the first guy...

Cling onto the guy whose marrying you coz he's obviously got the gutts to go ahead with it.
