But then again they are from a relatively large hindu community (Leicester).
It's really common for Pakistanis to still have arranged marriages, at least 3 or 4 Pakistanis who I work with are having arranged marriages and it's another one of those things that isn't really common outside of Islam in the modern day UK.
It might not even be a Muslim issue but more of a Pakistani issue since I don't know if it applies to Indians, Africans and other Muslims.
