I've been with my Pakistani partner for 4 years in the UK, since he came over to study. However his visa expires in January so he will need to return to Pakistan if he cant find work by then.

However his father doesn't want me to come back with his son.

If we were to go against his wishes and move to Pakistan together, would i find life very difficult without the support of family.

Also my partners family are from Lahore, would that be the safest city to move to, thanks.

Hi there,
Lahore is pretty safe to move around. Try to travel before night or if you travel in the night time then go for the city center or busy market areas. Don't have to be adventurous in the night time just as a precaution.

Now, the thing is if the guy has been with you for some years then he shouldn't have a problem with you. His family however can have a problem. So maybe he needs to get you a separate place to live otherwise life in the same house as his parents and other family members could be hell......

So if he can rent you a place in safe locality such as DHA, Bahria town etc.....then you'd enjoy life as usual......while can plan further what you both wanna do.

Moving to Pakistan is not an easy task.. everything is much different than UK... People are nice and also stupid who keep staring at you all the time... For your safety choose a place in DHA Lahore and if you want a secure future.. Make him buy a home under your name... In future you dont want the guy to have another wife and leaving you because of his family pressure.
