Pakistani rishta in Norway — for Norwegian Pakistanis and their families.

Norway’s Pakistani community is one of the oldest in Europe: many families arrived in the 1970s, a lot of them from the Kharian area, and settled in and around Oslo. Today second- and third-generation Norwegian Pakistanis are doctors, lawyers, engineers and business owners, and often want a spouse who shares that life.

PakSouls helps you look beyond the same few families: search across Norway, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, or in Pakistan if you are open to that.

Whether you live in Oslo, Drammen, Lillestrøm, Lørenskog, Bergen or Stavanger — or anywhere else in Norway — you can join PakSouls free and search for a spouse there, in Pakistan, or both.

Cross-border rishtas work best when both sides are honest about the practical details from the start. Topics to raise in your first few conversations:

• Where you will live: near either family in Norway, elsewhere in Scandinavia, or abroad.
• Whether you are open to a spouse from Pakistan, and what Norway’s family immigration rules would mean for timing.
• Learning Norwegian, and work or study for a spouse who moves.
• Living with in-laws or independently, a common question in Norwegian Pakistani families.
• How both families will be involved in the wedding and afterwards.
