Yet another cross-border love story ends in misery - II
Merinews first reported the story of Umer and Priyanka from Bhopal.
This is the second part of story from UK of an inter religion marriage
between a Sikh girl and a Muslim boy. The predicament of the lovebirds
was the same.
THE STORY CONTINUES:
The community in UK continued the religious persecution of wife and
husband. They decided to go through a Sikh religious ceremony. There
was a lot of opposition to this and no one was willing to conduct such
a ceremony. A stumbling block was the Muslim name of the boy
(Mohammed). He agreed to take the oath that he believed in Sikh Gurus,
by circling around the holy place. He bowed in front of the Holy Book
(Guru Granth) of Sikhs. But Sikhs refused to accept this as legitimate
wedding. In UK, the couple suffered abuse, harassment and intimidation
at the hands of the Pakistani gangs, who accused them of converting
from Islam.
