A Saudi girl has shocked her parents when she revealed to them that she is in love with an Indian expatriate and wanted to marry him.
The furious father quickly went to the lover’s employer and tried to persuade him to deport the man but his attempts have failed, according to a local newspaper.
The 23-year-old girl, identified as NM, told her family that she insists on marrying the Indian, who works as a delivery man at a shop in a mall in capital Riyadh.
‘Sada’ daily said the girl revealed that she met the man at the mall and that she had been in touch with him for a while.
“She told her mother that she fell in love with the Indian man after he filled her life with love…the mother quickly informed her husband,” the paper said.
“The father considered this against local traditions…so he hurried to the Indian man’s Saudi employer and asked him to sack the employee and deport him outside the kingdom…but it seems his attempts were in vain.”
According to ‘Sada’, the girl is still determined to marry the Indian expatriate although this is against local habits and the decision was a shock to her family.
