On October 18, the video of the son of BJP politician Tahseen Shahid spread like wildfire across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. In this unconventional video, his son, Mohammad Abbas, tied the knot with a Pakistani girl living in Lahore, all through a virtual Nikaah conducted online. The reason behind this unique online wedding stems from the bride’s visa issues, which had delayed the couple’s plan to marry in person.
The Story Behind the Digital Wedding
The couple had been engaged for a year, and the bride had applied for a visa to come to India. However, complications in obtaining the visa led them to explore an online option. Adding urgency to the situation, the bride’s mother, Rana Yasmine Zaidi, fell seriously ill, which accelerated their decision to marry online. The family opted to conduct the Nikaah through Google Meet, and the video has since captivated audiences, especially given the India-Pakistan dynamic involved in the union.
In the viral video, Abbas is seen congratulating his relatives in Pakistan, celebrating the union despite the geographical distance. Their unique wedding is drawing attention and sparking debates on both sides of the border.
Netizens React: Mixed Views on the Virtual Nikaah
The video’s viral nature has triggered a variety of responses from netizens. While some found the situation intriguing and exciting, others couldn’t resist bringing up the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan.
One user remarked, “Visa na mila toh sab kuch online hi karna padega!” expressing humor at the situation, while another commented, “BJP people also want to improve their relations with Pakistan,” taking a more political angle. Some users, however, found the story inspiring, praising the couple’s dedication to maintaining their relationship despite cross-border challenges. “It’s heartwarming to see families staying connected despite limitations,” one comment read.
On the other hand, some users offered practical advice, suggesting the couple could have applied for a visa with their Nikah Nama, as has been done in other cases of cross-border weddings. “In our city, five boys got married online, and all their brides got visas,” one user added, referencing successful similar cases.
Conclusion: A Digital Nikaah that Defies Borders
This unusual yet heartwarming story has captured the internet’s attention, with opinions divided between those who see it as a unique solution to a difficult situation and others who focus on the political undertones of an India-Pakistan union. Regardless, this online Nikaah proves that love finds a way, even if it means navigating visa hurdles and digital platforms.
