السلام عليكم,

It actually seems like you have a pretty strong support system in place in Pakistan. Most of the time, people don't recommend going there because of the culture shock and security situation. But if your in-laws think you would be fine, then I think they would know better about their particular area and situation and it would be fine for you.

Once you get used to it, Pakistan has more resources in the way of scholars and Muslim environment then any of those other places. You do need to sift out the wheat from the chaff, though.

Thanks for your advice. I agree with the resources. Culture shock shouldn`t be a major issue for me as I have quickly adapted towards my wife`s culture. I wear kurta/shalwar even when I head out to run errands. As far as security issue I have been able to blend in well due to my Hispanic figure but then again somehow there are people whom knows that I`m a foreigner without even hearing my accent.
