At a time when the two main communities in the country lose no opportunity in baying for each other’s blood, a Muslim couple performed the marriage of a Hindu girl on the premises of Ramjanki temple, situated on the banks of Narmada river at Budhni ghat in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh.
Incidentally, the girl had been abandoned at a railway station 15 years ago. The ceremony performed on Saturday was according to Hindu tradition, culture and belief.
Guests and relatives of Nadim Akhtar and his wife Haseen Parvez reached the premises of Ramjanki temple, the venue for the marriage ceremony.
Akhtar and his wife landed with a few ornaments and items of regular use to be given to the daughter of a Hindu when she ties the knot with a boy of her community.
“Humanity is the best religion of humankind. We allowed Sharda (23), the bride, to follow her religion,” Parvez told media persons after the happy ceremony.
