Tie the Knot, or Not? The Pakistani Way

2025-07-15
Arranged marriages by "parents' orders and matchmakers' words" are rarely heard of nowadays in Hong Kong. However, Hina, a third-generation Hong Konger of Pakistani descent, experienced "arranged marriage" ten years ago, when her father arranged for her to marry her cousin who lived in a rural village in Pakistan.

Hina was born and raised in Hong Kong. Despite her Pakistani looks, she pursues freedom of love from the bottom of her heart, as do other Hong Kong people. She refused her parents' arranged marriage and her relationship with her family broke down. In Hina's eyes, her father has always cared for her family, but he became so different when it comes to marriage. Later Hina's sister took her place in the marriage and suffered from domestic violence. It was until then that her parents finally woke up. Their relationship mended.

Determined to choose her own partner, Hina fell in love with her husband from Morocco. She was most touched by her father's understanding and acceptance. Now, Hina is a teacher teaching Chinese to local ethnic minority students to help them integrate into Hong Kong. She shares her experiences with students and hopes that they will realise the importance of pursuing their own happiness.
