Assalamu'alaikam.
I've just turned 26 and I'm looking to get married InshaAllah. My parents haven't a care in the world. They don't mention marriage. A year ago I wanted to marry someone so I asked my dad and his repsonse was "No, she is from a different background etc". Basically the usual stupid excuses.
My dad's idea of marriage is getting married from Pakistan. Which is clearly not gonna happen anytime soon.
So I thought I'd join Pure Matrimony and find someone myself. I don't have much options.
I found it OK. Thought that it would be a good start. But the majority of sisters are too demanding or put off because I follow a Madhab. They follow 'Quraan & Sunnah' but everyone else doesn't apparently. I'm a simple guy. Don't have much demands but guess it's not my time yet.
Anyway the advise I want is what other options could I explore? Also I know remaining patient is a virtue but if I just wait and wait I'll be even older. Any advice would be most appreciated.
JazakAllah-khair.
