JOIN US At a time when Hindu organisations are crying hoarse over the inter-faith wedding of a Hindu girl to a Muslim youth in Mandya, claiming it to be ‘Love Jihad’, a Muslim girl married a Hindu boy in the city on Wednesday.
The couple have been identified as Neha Anjum and Pradeep, both hailing from Chitradurga.
It is said that they have been in love for five years and decided to get married in Hassan as they faced opposition from both their families.
Pradeep was working at the APMC godown in Chitradurga and his father is a truck driver. Neha too was working at the APMC when they fell in love. Later, she got a job at a textile showroom.
Seeking police protection
The couple, with the help of their friends, got married at Ramadevarahalla temple on Wednesday. The newlywed met Superintendent of Police Rahul Kumar after their wedding and sought protection. Speaking to Deccan Herald, Neha said she was confident of leading a happy life.
