why is it that african parents dislike foreigners marrying to their children?

I dont understand the part highlighted in red?


Although, some people do take their culture very seriously, at times its good for people involved in such culture to know what is required of them so that when they are deeply involved with someone, they would not regret leaving them because their culture is against it. I would say know where you stand with your cultural belief before involving yourself in something that would leave you heart broken.

They wanna keep the family heritage, background, culture, tradition, and for some race constant in the family lineage. Some also feel comfortable when their kids marry from the same country/tribe cuz they'll be able to relate well with both sides of the family communicate in the same language practice same culture/traditions. Etc. But in interracial marriages or marrying to ppl from other countries it's different.

dlimelite........how nice it is to see at least one sensible person on this site. As a foreigner whose married to a Nigerian woman it's an interesting subject. I know my wifes side of the family and my wife knows my side of the family. If you want to talk about cultural differences, my side have asked for nothing from my wifes side, but my wifes relatives are alaways asking me for money as almost none of them are working, have no hope for a job and just want to sponge off me. Apart from that I really like my wifes Mother who is a hard working Nigerian woman, I just wish all her kids would try and do something with their lives. by the way, we live in Europe and my wife has settled in very well into a majority white culture but still remains in regular contact with all her family.
