Japanese weds Islamic style in Bihar
March 2nd, 2011 - 5:01 pm ICT by IANSPatna, March 2 (IANS) This was a wedding with a difference! A Japanese woman married a Muslim man in a village in Bihar’s Gaya district in Islamic style.
A nikah was solemnised in the presence of villagers and sweets distributed in a simple function according to Islamic rituals.
Ricko, in her mid-20s, Tuesday married Noor Ain, a resident of Dharhara Kala village in Gaya, about 100 km from here.
The marriage was solemnised with the bride and groom reading the ritualistic selected verses of holy Quran and accepting each other as husband and wife during nikah.
Ricko, a nurse in a hospital in Tokyo in Japan, met Nur Ain in Kolkata three years ago and developed close relations with him. Last year, she proposed marriage to him.
“Nur Ain accepted her proposal with one condition that he will marry her at his native village as per Islamic rituals. She agreed to it,” Jamal Ahmad, a close relative of Nur Ain said.
Nur Ain, who works as a tourist guide in Kolkata, had visited Ricko’s native place in Japan twice in the last one-and-half years.
