    Indian woman who came to marry Pakistani man goes back to her country

    Indian national Anju — now Fatima — who made headlines around the world after travelling to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and marrying Facebook friend Nasrullah, her left Pakistan to reunite with her two children.

    34-year-old Anju met and married Nasrullah five months after their Facebook friendship began, arriving in Upper Dir on July 22 this year. Nasrullah said that Anju had been missing her two children since she came to Pakistan. “I said goodbye to Anju (Fatima) at the Wagah border and she entered her country at two o’clock on Wednesday,” he said.

    He added that Anju’s one-month visa had already expired, adding that they had applied to the Ministry of Interior to extend the period, but due to difficulties, it could not be completed as the formal process is expected to take four months to one year.

    Anju was granted a one-year extension to her visa by the Pakistani authorities earlier in August.

    Nasrullah said that despite repeated pleas by Anju, the visa was not extended so she decided to go back through a 15-day departure letter and cancelled the visa extension application.

    The couple were given a farewell party by several friends in Lahore. Nasrullah maintained that Anju would come to Pakistan again after three months. He said that if her visa had been extended for one year, it would have been better.

    “If I get a visa for India, then I will take Anju back myself,” he said, adding that she is fighting a divorce case from her first husband in India and she wished to meet her children. He said that Anju had got a lot of love and respect from everyone in Pakistan.

    Anju had previously undergone a court marriage with Nasrullah after converting to Islam in Upper Dir. The couple received attention from all across the world. Several companies and business organisations showed generosity by offering gifts to couple in various parts of the country.

    Upon arrival in India, she was asked questions by the media but she denied answers altogether.

    ‘Can’t imagine living without it’: Indian woman flaunts her moustache with pride

    Shyja, a 35-year-old Indian woman from Kerala, is making headlines for flaunting her moustache proudly.

    “I love my moustache,” her WhatsApp status section reads. “All I can say is that I just like it. A lot.”

    “I can’t imagine living without it now. When the Covid pandemic started, I disliked wearing a mask all the time because it covered my face,” Shyja added.

    “I’ve never felt that I’m not beautiful because I have this or that it’s something I shouldn’t have.”

    Talking about her love for her moustache, Shyja said, “I just do what I like. If I had two lives, maybe I’d live one for others.”

    Shyja has battled many health problems. She had six surgeries in the last decade, one to remove a lump in her breast and another to remove cysts in her ovary. Her most recent procedure was a hysterectomy five years ago.

    “Each time I came out of surgery, I would hope that I never had to go back into an operation theatre again,” she says.

    Shyja’s family and friends are supportive of her choices. Her daughter frequently tells her that she looks good with a moustache. However, Shyja claims she has received a variety of comments from people.

    “People make fun of me saying, ‘It’s men who have moustaches, why would a woman have one?’”

    Shyja’s friends frequently respond angrily to these comments on Facebook, but she says it doesn’t upset her at all.
