Laura thanks for posting that article here. For once we get to hear a different perspective. There is a dai in our midwest region, I won't mention the city's name just because many people might know who I am talking about. So the story goes: He married a white girl, we don't know if it was for love or papers. His parents wrote to him saying, "We know you are marrying the girl for papers so as soon as you get it, come to Nepal and marry the girl we choose". What a thing to say. A parent teaching their child to treat a foreign girl's life equal to a piece of paper. Can't expect him to learn anything differently unless he's mature enough to come out of the whole race thing. There are Nepalis who have married Whites/ foreigners for love but what I am trying to say is, parental upbringing and culture plays a big role. PS: I don't know if the dai left the girl after getting his papers and followed his parents' wishes.
