My zawji & I were 🙂

I live in the southern part of India and lately I had been talking to my mom on the need for the intercultural marriages and she was saying an emphatic NO to marrying someone outside the culture. She insisted on the language being the same. Though I have not been seeing anyone outside my culture nor inside, I seriously gave a thought for a multicultural relationship and had been trying to present it as an option to my parents. But they seem not to have understood the crux and my mom have been saying that, you would go away with your wife and wouldn’t even remember us in the future and thus you are going to be unislamic in not looking after your parents and things. These kind of worries are also a part of the NOs is what I wish to opine.

P.S I am single 😛

I totally get your self mock “haha”. Completely get it sister. What really is the point of marriage ? Intimacy, kids, home ? As with all things, sexual intimacy will decline eventually more so now than before, since I find it incredibly hard that there will virgin girls in their 20’s[ haha ] and kids ? really? Look at the environment where we live in [another haah] and home…where, what part of the world ? When I think of family, wife and kids…the last scene of the film Gladiator comes to mind…just an image, a fictitious imagery.

At least you had some prospective partners(all halal I hope! ) but what you don’t even have that :(….’a fool: called life’….
