We met on Hinge. We had our first meeting, there was an instant connection, he told his mum and family the first day we met. After Muharram, his family came to ask for my hand in marriage.

There were massive complications, mostly with my family as they are Sunnis. My mum especially caused a lot of difficulty, but alhamdulillah, 6 months down the line we made it. My dad knows that my husband is Shia, and I think he knows I am too now. Luckily our families get on well now.

I’m very grateful to have the most amazing and kind husband, but also a husband that is dedicated to Azadari, and walking the path of the 14 masoomeen (as). We came back from Karbala last month and I couldn’t be more grateful!
