As the pukhtun nationalism is its on hot lines after the flamming Kalabagh issue. There was this interesting topic caught me in a forum.
"Is it ok for a pukhtun to marry non-pukhtun?"
Most of the members were pukhtun and the views well were scared.
Here are some of the views:
Pakhtoon guys marrying non Pakhtoon girls, this results in their children speaking the language of their mother instead of Pukhto, thus Pukhto is dying. One should refrain from marrying a non pukhtun.
Some people talked about "Love". [Ignore them they are just crazy and blind, cant be bothered to flush their feelings]
"PUKHTUN SHOULD NEVER MARRY A NON PUKHTUN DAMIT DAMIT IN NO SITUATION. HE/SHE SOULD BE SHOT DOWN"
"Dude, you should be out on hunting Imran Khan."
Its ok for a pukhtun male to marry a non pukhtun girl but not the otherway around. Reson: Its just how it works.
"Warning: Mixed marriages can produce non-ethenic kids." [How true, I heared people saying, "I am pathan but I dont speak Pashto." Is it just about Pashto? Thats ok. Where is your Pukhtunwali?"
Personal Opinion..personal choices.. bla bla bla... [All that stuff, you know it and you must would have heared it before]
"So what about me? I met this indian girl and shes Pathan! "
A muslim can marry any muslim!
[Now this one is pretty "funny?"]
"Pukhtoon women marrying into non Pukhtoon families and especially into Punjabi families is rare however the rare cases can be attributed to the Indian movies and their influance on the young generation. I think these movies are doing more damage to our culture then those Pakistani freaks in Islamabad.The same is the case with gys they see someone walking on the street who looks like some famous Indian actress most likely that girl will not be a Pukhtoon because Pukhtoons have Aryan features and do not have anything common with the Indian race thus the flabergausted Dum ass Pukhtoon runs presumes him self to a part of an indian movie hero and tries his best to find an ugly duckling of Indian origin. " (Nangyalee).
[And this one]
"I know one pakhtoon his wife is white (angreaz) and they have 8 kids. :D" [Typical]
If you mix Milk with Alcahol - Its neither Milk nor Alcahol any more. And have you ever seen a donkey with a monkey?
I have seen non-pukhtun dont want to marry Pukhtun too for whatever reasons!
These days people look fer the profession of the guy..and as it is obvious our pakhtun boys arnt dat much interested in studies compared to the non- pakhtuns. So buckle up boys ;)
The whole idea of reproduction is to initroduce new genes to the already existing gene pool, to allow for more varied offspring.
My opinion:
It varies from person to person, family to family and tribe to tribe. And its a huge huge topic. But I dont want my kid saying, "I am half pukhtun, quater irish, a little bit of pakeha, traces of arab,...".
However a pukhtun male can marry a non pukhtun girl but not the other way around. Why? More on this later in edited version.
