Its amazing, living in Pakistan 30 years, I never saw such a wedding where the groom and bride got married without Nikkah. Not only that, there is not a single Pakistani person on this forum ever saw such a Muslim wed without Nikah (Process of Islamic wed).
I believe that u went some where else, may be in neighbour country. In Nikkah process, u get registered. without that Nikkah certificate u cannot move with a girl as she is ur wife. if u found suspect....police will straight put both of u in Jail and u might get punish. so my dear dont throw hanky phanky.
And by profession, I am senior software engineer. Working experience more then 5 years in different organization which were not less then CMMI Level 2 (I hope u know CMMI). So ur another mis-conception about Pakistan software Industry over.
I worked for the companies whose clients were IBM, DELL and number of other reputed companies and thier business setups are in USA, UK, Canada, Dubai etc.
One more thing there are more then 5000 Software Industries working in Pakistan and almost more then 70% have western or American clients.
Now coming to Engieering, Pakistan is not that far from India. I worked in Decon Engineering Limited, which is an International company, their portfolio services are consruction, Manufacturing etc
They have their business areas are in Middle east and strong holds in Abu-Dabi, KSA, Dbai, Kowait and they were opening another setup in London when I was leaving company. In my tunior over there I saw Descon won number of bids in dubai & abu dabi against their tough
Indian competetors......
I worked their to implment ERP.
