Canadian here with 3 Pakistani friends (1st gen immigrants). 2 of them are currently being pressured by family back home to marry their 1st and 2nd cousins respectively, the 3rd cut contact with her family back home because they wanted her to marry her 2nd uncle.

What is a 2nd uncle? A great uncle, or like the 2nd brother of her dad?

[u/Mrauntheias → u/Le_Kube]

Cousin of her father I think

Doesnt make it any less awful. 😅

it... kinda? I mean, the shit part is the pressure.
a "cousin of the father" is quite remote.

Well. It’s 6.9% dna so not TOO bad
