Indian Woman Who Went To Pakistan And Converted To Islam To Return Home To Meet Kids

Anju, who allegedly snubbed her family and went to Pakistan to meet her boyfriend, is finally set to return home.

The 34-year-old woman had travelled to a remote village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and reportedly married her Facebook friend Nasrullah and embraced Islam. She changed her name to Fatima.

"We are waiting for the NOC (No-Objection Certificate) from the interior ministry in Islamabad for which we have already applied. The NOC process is a bit lengthy and it takes time to complete," Anju's Pakistani husband told PTI.

As soon as the documents are completed for in and out at the Wagah Border point, Anju will travel to India, he said.

Anju will return to Pakistan after meeting her children in India, he said. "She will certainly come back as Pakistan is her home now," he added.

Last month, Nasrullah said Anju was "mentally disturbed and badly missing" her two children.

On July 25, Anju married her 29-year-old friend Nasrullah, whose home is in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They became friends on Facebook in 2019.

Anju was earlier married to Arvind, who is in Rajasthan. They have a 15-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.

Anju, who was born in Kailor village in Uttar Pradesh and lived in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, travelled to Pakistan legally from India via the Wagah-Attari border.
