111 Eyeing Wife’s Wealth and Property Expressing concern over how some men are embroiled in greed Huzoor e Anwer (may Allah be his Helper) said in a Friday sermon: ‘ I say it with great sadness t hat in Canada acrimony between husband and wife after marriage is growing quite rapidly. I believe the blame mostly lies with both sets of parents. They have no tolerance or sometimes the man’s parents try that he does not develop an understanding with his wife and the couple do not nurture any mutual trust so that the parents do not lose their son! Relationships also break when some men from Pakistan get betrothed here but after arriving here they break up the betrothal. Such people have no fear; these yo ung men should have some fear of God! The f amilies they get betrothed in have done them a favour by providing them an opportunity to come here [to the West] ! Their academic prowess is next to nothing and had they come over through an agent it would have co st them 150,000 to 200,000 Rupees. So they come here for free, as most young men also get the girls’ family to pay the airfare, and after arriving here they show their cunning behaviour. They break the betrothal and look for an other match of their choice o r sometimes such matches are pre - planned a nd they get embroiled in various vulgarities. Parents of such young men also support them , whether they are residents here or are from Pakistan!’
