A Muslim couple from the Indian state of Kerala, Khadija and Abdullah, adopted a Hindu girl when she was ten years old. Today, as she turns twenty-two, the Muslim couple is sending off their adopted Hindu daughter in marriage to a Hindu boy, following all Hindu customs and traditions.
It is a beautiful gesture that in the twelve years of raising her, they never pressured her to change her religion, nor did they force her to marry a Muslim out of gratitude for their care.
