Mehwish, a Pakistani woman, travelled to India’s Rajasthan state for love, according to Indian media reports. This follows a similar story from last year when Seema Haider left Pakistan for her beloved in India.
Mehwish, 25, from Lahore, married Rehman, 30, from Bikaner district, as reported by The Indian Express. The two met online through Facebook. Mehwish has been running a beauty parlour for the past decade.
She was previously married to a man from Badami Bagh, Lahore, and the couple divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage. They have two sons, aged 12 and seven.
After her divorce, Mehwish connected with Rehman, a transporter working in Kuwait. They proposed on March 13, 2022, and were married via video conference three days later. They later had an in-person marriage ceremony during Mehwish’s Umrah pilgrimage to Makkah in 2023.
On July 25, Mehwish travelled from Islamabad to the Wagah border, where she crossed into India on a 45-day tourist visa. Rehman’s family welcomed her and took her to their village, Pithisar.
