What does it mean?

[hoangkha]

Hi!
- Woman will never be Greek enough for husband's family.
What does this sentence mean, please?

The context isn't very clear. However, I'll try and give it a go.

Hi!
- A woman will never be Greek enough for her husband's family.
What does this sentence mean, please?

To me it seems the sentence may mean the following

no matter how hard a Greek man's foreign wife will try to fit into her husband's Greek family,
she will never be regarded or treated as a Greek woman.

Hope this works.

I also share similar understanding.
I think it means that after a woman gets married with a Greek man, though she may try very hard to understand the Greek culture, she still cannot fully incorporated in her husband's Greek family.

Woman will never be Greek enough for husband's family.
here Greek means- Co-operated, changed herself according to husband's family culture.

My understanding is that the family hopes a Greek woman to live with them, but the woman is probably not from Greece or she doesn't act like a Greek, etc...

English is a subtle language with a lot of innuendo and obfuscation....

I this case, (although the original example is to short to know the context) I would say it could be generalized to mean:

"No matter what, the woman (wife) will never be accepted as a fully integrated member of the extended family"

Could just as easily said: She'll never be Russian enough--She'll never be British enough--She'll never be Japanese enough--etc, etc.
