The daughter of a company owner fell in love with a Muzlim boy...
She was madly in love and defied her parents' wishes. Feeling helpless, her parents sought the advice of a friend.
The friend's family and their family subsequently went on a picnic together. During the picnic, the friend made it clear that she was on the girl's side.
She stated that all religions are equal and that the parents should allow the marriage to take place. Consequently, the girl began to view this friend as her pillar of support.
Meanwhile, the boy's calls continued to come in intermittently.
The friend took the girl aside, handed her a book translated into Marathi, and said, "You are about to marry a Muzlim boy, so you ought to be familiar with his culture."
The name of the book: *Not Without My Daughter* (Marathi Translation)
The girl began reading the book at 11:30 PM, and within just a few minutes, she was knocking on her friend's bedroom door. Her eyes were filled with tears. She said, "This is terrifying; I will not marry him."
The friend, however, did not alter her stance. She reasoned with her, "Even if the religion is such, is your love true? If so, let's do this: ask him to embrace the Hindu faith, and we will arrange your marriage. I will convince your father."
The girl liked this idea and immediately called the boy to convey all of this to him. To this, the boy retorted, "What makes you think I would change my religion for the sake of a 'two-percent prostitute' like you?"
His words seared into the girl's ears as if molten lead had been poured into them.
She realized with crushing clarity her true worth in the eyes of the very boy she loved more than life itself, and for whom she had defied her own parents. She then flatly refused to go ahead with the marriage.
