The BBC reported that an Indian man was arrested last month for helping his Pakistani wife get into the country without proper papers and making her a fake ID card.
The relationship between India and Pakistan is very bad, so Mulayam Singh Yadav, who is now 21 and from India, and Iqra Jeewani, who is 19 and from Pakistan, can’t be together. This makes their story of forbidden love interesting but sad.
Three years ago, when they were both still teenagers, the young couple met online. Surprisingly, they didn’t meet on social media. Instead, they met through an online game of Ludo. They fell in love even though they knew it would be hard for them to be together because visas are hard to get.
But Jeewani’s family pushed her to get married, so the two of them decided to do so. Yadav told the young woman to go to Nepal, where her partner was already waiting for her last September. After they got married, the couple moved to Bangalore, India, where they started to live together.
But their happiness didn’t last long. Jeewani was arrested in January for sneaking into the country illegally, and Yadav was sent to jail for fraud and forgery.
The 19-year-old was sent back to Pakistan last week, but Yadav is still in jail in Bangalore.
Jeetlal, Yadav’s brother, said, “We want them home,” The man’s family backs the couple and thinks they shouldn’t get in trouble for falling in love.
“We know what’s going on with India and Pakistan. But they did nothing but fall in love “Jeetlal was quoted by BBC as saying.
Under the condition that he or she not be named, a police official told the news outlet that he, too, thought the story seemed to be about love.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, the strange and sad love story began. At the time, Yadav worked as a security guard in Hyderabad, Pakistan, and Jeewani was a student there.
They dated long distance for a few years, but when Jeewani’s family put pressure on her to get married, she had to leave the country and go to Nepal. The police say that the couple tied the knot in a Hindu ceremony.
Yadav got his wife a fake ID card and took her to India so they could stay together. There, the man went to work and the woman stayed at home. But she often called home using WhatsApp, which ended her relationship.
Last month, big international events were happening in the city, so the police were already on high alert.
S Girish, deputy police commissioner in Bangalore’s Whitefield district, told the BBC, “As of now, there is no offence made out against her other than just coming into the country illegally,”
The girl is now in Pakistan, where she is said to be at her home. Yadav’s mother hopes that the government can help bring them back together.
“We don’t care if she’s Muslim or from Pakistan. She’s our daughter-in-law. We’ll look after her well, “she was said to have said.
This is not the first time that Pakistan and India have fallen in love. Last June, Indian police caught a woman who was trying to cross into Pakistan at the Attari Border in Amritsar. She was trying to get there because she was in love with someone there.
