assalamu alaikum, I am of the age where my parents are starting to seriously discuss things about marriage to me, and they are very adamant about me getting married to someone from back home because they have better tarbiya, akhlaq, etc and it’ll force me to go to Indi. while I want to marry someone who was born and raised in the west because personally I feel like I will be more compatible with them rather than someone from back home because those are basically 2 different cultures, they wouldn’t be 100% dependent on me for everything (like driving etc), I also believe that just by being raised in one place doesn’t determines a person’s tarbiyah or akhla, and there are several other reasons,
I am not necessarily opposed to marrying someone back home but I would absolutely prefer someone who was raised in America, as reasons stated above. but I will keep an open mind, but before I rush into anything I want to hear some general perspectives of people who have married from back home, was it harder to connect due to the cultural gap, was it difficult for her to adjust especially when her friends are all back home, pls give me some insight Jazakallahu khairun.
