Hi Nepal and the rest of the world
A good friend of mine is married to a Nepali guy, they live quiet hapliy together in Europe, they celebrated with the members of her family/ friends and his Nepali college friends, she is somewhat older than him and has a teeenaged daughter. Her family was accepting the marriage after a short while (will this work?) but his parents and family doesnt know about their relationship yet. As the oldest son of a good situated family in a small town he doesnt like to get his parents (and other locals) to think that he is not able or willing to stand on his own feet (he is on a good way now just starting an internship in Europe, but he not yet earnes as much as might be expected from his nepali society).
Quiet helpful I found Sally`s votum, even written some time ago, http://sajha.com/archives/openthread.cfm?threadid=1541#6200 , saying that there is and will never be this one way, or that cultural difference but open minded people and less open ones.
Anyway I bring up the question: Should she force him to tell his family about the relationship and marriage? Should`nt they travel to Nepal and meet everybody?
Thanks alot
