Qari Shamroz told the BBC that I was called via Nasrullah, who is an acquaintance of mine, to educate Nikah. We belong to the same area. Each of them is actually legally husband and spouse.
However, talking to the BBC's Shamaila Jaffrey, Indian lady Anju said that the news of her marriage became "baseless" and that she become preparing to go back to India tomorrow (Tuesday).
The nearby police say that once the marriage is, full security is turned into furnished to the 'newly married couple', and their 'privacy' changed into sorted at the event of its confirmation and submission of announcement within the court docket.
It ought to be remembered that Nasrullah, a resident of Deer Bala district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, started out speaking with Anju, a lady from Uttar Pradesh, India, through social media some years ago, which turned into a friendship over time, and then Anju arrived in Pakistan to 'meet' this Pakistani young man on July 21 this month.
Consistent with BBC Hindi, Anju is already married and lived with her husband and two kids in the Bhiwadi region of Alwar, India.
Journalist Mohar Singh Meena spoke to Anju's 40-year-old husband Arvind in Bhiwadi for BBC Hindi.
Anju's husband had said that 'I'm forty years vintage and Anju is around 35. Both folks are at the beginning from Uttar Pradesh however were living in Bhiwadi for the past several years.

On the nighttime of July 23, whilst her son's fitness worsened, Anju became asked when she would return. So she advised that she is in Pakistan and maybe again soon.
In line with Arvind, Anju by no means let every person suspect approximately his going to Pakistan and he never checked Anju's smartphone because it "spoils the connection."
But, on Monday, talking to India's tv channel Zee information thru a video name, Indian female Anju stated, "My husband knew that I was going out and that I thought that once I go the border, I can inform him and I told him."

Such love testimonies between the citizens of Pakistan and India aren't new, however, due to the strained relations between the 2 nations, now both international locations give minimal visas to every different's residents.
It was no longer clean for Anju to get a Pakistan visa. Specifically to attain Deir Bala which is a far-flung district that has a border with Afghanistan.
So how did this tale of Anju and Nasrullah start and the way did Anju get a visa to Pakistan and permission to go to Dir Bala?

Nasrullah stated that it changed into very hard for Anju to get a visa to Pakistan, however, we had the intention and sincerity, due to which both folks have now not misplaced courage at all.
On the only hand, Anju saved visiting the Pakistani Embassy in Delhi, while Nasrullah saved traveling to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and different offices in Islamabad, the federal capital of Pakistan.
Nasrullah stated that she kept convincing the government there and I stored convincing the authorities here that the visa is Anju's proper and if we need to satisfy, we ought to be allowed to meet.
In line with him, the whole system took two years, and then Anju got a visa to Pakistan and was allowed to go away overdue.
However, Nasrallah become not glad with the presence of the media after this news came out.
He stated that a huge wide variety of media and people have amassed. I tell everybody that if anything is important, I can inform the media myself. I don't want our courting to be a hassle. Our dating does now not consist of religion. Whether Anju converts or not, it will likely be her decision and I'm able to appreciate her selection as she respects mine.
Anju is a guest of Pakhtuns.
Neighborhood human beings are also happy with the presence of an Indian lady.
