PEASHWAR: A 34-year-old Indian mother of two children who travelled to a remote village in Pakistan to marry her Facebook friend after converting to Islam has received some money and a piece of land as gifts for embracing the religion.
Anju – who now goes by the name of Fatima – on July 25 married her 29-year-old friend Nasrullah, whose home is in Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They became friends on Facebook in 2019.
On Saturday, Mohsin Khan Abbasi, CEO of a real estate company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa visited Anju and Nasrullah. He presented Anju a cheque and a land document to make her feel at home in Pakistan. He told Anju that the purpose of the visit was to welcome her to Islam and congratulate her and Nasrullah on their marriage.
