Is it because no one w’d marry them in Europe? Or all of them are done forcibly, and if the girls resist they would be killed?
Some say there is a cosmetic surgery in Pakistan that they could repair virginity and the moslim family restitute their Islamic honour.

Usually it's becuase among the older tradition parents (where the parents find a suiter for their child) want their child to have attributes in their personality/lifestyle which match up to their expectations.
They see british born pakistani's and don't like their westernised upbringing. So instead decide to choose someone from who has been raised in the culture they prefer.
It is kinda wrong in the sense that a british born pakistani would more likely get on in a marriage with a fellow british born pakistani, having grown up in the same society etc, but on the other hand if it's the choice of the person getting married it's ok.
There are reasonable points as well as many contradictions with this concept. Also, it's not just girls that this happens to. Men also sometimes choose a bride from pakistan.
It's true that some people are victims forced into such situations, but it doens't mean that all of them are.

Muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular, prefer the cousins to marry each other. It is legal and acceptable under Holy Quoran. But the problem is those who are settled outside Pakistan are bettter cultured, educated and not conservatives. But the Pakistanis in Pakistan lookout for an opportunity to jump out of their home land for a better earning and this type of marriages bridge East with West....

In order to keep money, daughter etc in the old tribal relationship.
You can export people to another country but you also export their culture with them, so older immigrants to Britain want to keep what they grew up with alive.
That really isn't a problem , we as society make it into one

I wouldn't even begin to pretend to understand why these people do this. Obviuosly there's been a slight disagreement over something. Have you noticed that it only seems to be mixed race relationships that this seems to happen to?

It's spelt Muslim.
I have heard of hymen reconstruction in USA so try not to jump on the racist bandwagon of Islamophobia, educate yourself.
