It's better to choose a bride shorter than you? How come?
As for your situation belief, I agree, it drives me crazy when parents are like this. My parents not only want me to marry a man from my same country, but from my same city. I understand their opinion and where they're coming from, that there will be less culture clash, but still. As long as his deen and manners are good, he's great in my eyes. Unfortunately, my parents disagree. In fact, I'd love to marry a convert, merely because they are muslims for the right reasons. Not to say that born muslims are not (i'm born muslim myself), it's just that I find it easier for born muslims to be less into their deen, and more influenced by their cultures and traditions, so that it takes precedence over their religion, than reverts.
