After Seema Haider, another Pakistani bride crosses the border to marry an Indian

Marriage is a beautiful blend of different cultures and traditions. But when it brings together two countries, it becomes even more beautiful. Earlier, Seema Haider made headlines for doing the same. Seema crossed the Indian border via Nepal with her four children. In the same league, now Jawaria Khanam, hailing from Pakistan's Karachi, has crossed the Attari-Wagah Border in Amritsar, where she was received by the family members of her fiancee, Samir Khan, and is now set to marry Samir.

In a conversation with the media, Khanum expressed her happiness, revealing that her visa had been turned down twice amidst the pandemic. However, with the challenging times behind her, she has finally received approval for a 45-day visit to India, where she is set to marry Samir.

"It's a happy ending and a happy beginning. Everyone back home is overjoyed. I can't believe I finally have the visa after five years," exclaimed Khanum in an interview with PTI.



The love story began when Khan, who has been studying in Germany since 2018, agreed to marry Khanum after glimpsing her photo on his mother's phone. Initially hesitant, he changed his mind upon seeing the picture and decided to marry Javeria.

While cross-border relationships are not uncommon, there are unique instances, such as Anju, an Indian woman who travelled to Pakistan in July to marry her Facebook friend Nasrullah. Following the marriage, she reportedly returned to India.

Expressing her gratitude, Khanum stated, "I am extremely happy... I want to convey my special thanks to the Government of India for the help... We have been in a relationship for the past five years. We had been trying for a visa for a long time, and finally, it happened. I have been granted a 45-day visa," as reported by The Times of India.


This love story is one of many where individuals from across borders come together to tie the knot. Earlier this year, a 30-year-old Pakistani woman made headlines for her detention in India after entering illegally. The couple had connected in 2019 while playing the popular video game PUBG: Battlegrounds.

In another remarkable instance, a man from Jodhpur married a woman from Pakistan through an online ceremony. Given that the man was from India and visa issues posed challenges to the couple's ability to physically visit each other's countries, they opted for an online marriage.

Thus, it's not only Sachin and Seema Haider or Anju-Nasrullah who continue to grab headlines. Yet another cross-border marriage has recently occurred, with the Indian groom and Pakistani bride exchanging vows in an online solemnisation.
