Virtual Nikah Bridges Borders: A Himachal Love Story

A virtual ‘nikah’ ceremony was held in Himachal Pradesh between a groom in Turkiye and a bride in Mandi. Due to work commitments and the bride's grandfather's health, the ceremony was conducted online, demonstrating the power of modern technology to overcome challenges and unite loved ones.

A remarkable virtual 'nikah' ceremony unfolded in Himachal Pradesh, where a groom located in Turkiye and his bride in Mandi exchanged vows online. This innovative solution arose when groom Adnan Muhammad's employer in Turkiye declined his leave request, as noted by family members.

The bride's family pushed for the wedding due to her grandfather's health concerns. Thus, both families accepted the technology-driven solution to unite the couple, with the 'baraat' arriving from Bilaspur on Sunday for the Monday ceremony.

Connecting via video calling, the couple's vows were officiated by a qazi. The bride's uncle, Akram Mohammad, praised advanced technology for enabling the union. This follows last year's virtual wedding of Ashish Singha and Shivani Thakur, who also adapted to unforeseeable events using technology.
