You mentioned earlier they say HELL NO to Hydros. I asked who do they NOT say it to.

I have a good amount of cousins married outside of Memons. It's not a big deal for us. Interestingly, I was raised to some degree, socializing with those hardcore exclusive Memons, but I never learnt to think that way cause my familys pretty chill Alhamdulillah

I don't quite anticipate marrying a Memon but who knows what the future actually holds.

Coincidentally, your further explanation has been unnecessary just the same.

quite honestly, most memon guys are eww. they are arrogant and snobby.

nobody can force a person to get married to some one. tahts against islam. marrying within memons is preferred.
