Vineeth | 6 years ago | Reply In a marriage between a non-Muslim and a Muslim, it is always the responsibility of the non-Muslim to convert. Never the other way round. Sorry, 'embrace' must be the word when we speak of Islam, and 'convert' if it is the other way round.

Komal S | 6 years ago | Reply Why is this a big news as though some trophy won.

kadwa sach | 6 years ago | Reply Does this report have any news value? There are thousands of foreign men and women marrying into different cultures and faiths. The Express Tribune could do a thousand stories of ordinary individuals marrying (or even divorcing) their foreign spouses. But, for the sake of news value, the paper could have provided more details of both individuals for readers to get glimpses of their lives (if this story was necessary in the first place, that is).and understand their commonality and interests to find each other compatible. The sociological angle is always an interesting part of such a story, which is missing.

Ismail Mirza | 6 years ago | Reply Why is this news ? Aren't Pakistani men the third most attractive in the world according to a worldwide poll taken a few years back. And even Indian lasses would agree with that.
