It was a scene straight out of the movies. A couple kept their wedding date by solemnising it in a public hospital where the bride was admitted a few days ago with serious burn injuries.

Taslim Shaikh, a young resident of Vatva, was engaged to Yunus Shaikh and was to be married on Saturday. However, in a quirk of fate, she received severe burn injuries four days ago while she was cooking and had to be moved to L G Hospital.

While Taslim thought her dreams were shattered, her family too feared the worst.

Enter Yunus, Taslim’s fiance.

The boy stood firm on his decision to marry Taslim, whose face has been disfigured. “Come what may, I had decided that the nikaah would be solemnised on the appointed date and I resisted any move to stop it,” said Yunus.

The parents and relatives approached the L G Hospital authorities with a request to let them arrange for a simple nikaah. The authorities were reluctant in the beginning, but later relented and arranged for a separate room for the event

Taslim’s mother was the happiest of all present. “I am feeling very lucky to have such a noble person as my son-in-law. He did not turn his back on my daughter, which he could do very easily and justifiably,” she said.
Yunus said by marrying Taslim, he had only fulfilled his promise he made to her out of his love for her. “So what if she has become a victim of circumstances.”
