At the age of 95, a Mansehra resident named Zakriya, a wise soul with a lifetime of experiences has defied societal norms and embraced love once more.
In an intimate Nikkah ceremony surrounded by his large family of seven sons, five daughters, and over 90 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he tied the knot with a woman from the Gujarati city of Sarai Alamgir after the loss of his first wife.
According to the reports, Zakariya had attempted to get married for a long time, but it had been unsuccessful due to opposition from some of his kids. Waqar Tanoli, the youngest of his two sons, finally accomplished his father’s wish.
His nikkah was solemnized by local cleric Maulana Ghulam Murtaza in a ceremony that was attended by his family members and others.
The decision to marry again at such an advanced age might raise eyebrows in some circles but the couple’s determination to embrace change, live life to the fullest, and love unconditionally has broken stereotypes surrounding late-life relationships.
