A Muslim family whose house & property was burnt down during Delhi pogrom was taking refuge in Al Hind hospital in Mustafabad. The daughter in the family was to be married on 3rd March to a family based in Ghaziabad. However, the Ghaziabad family broke the nikah..

after learning that the girl's family has lost all their property and was taking refuge in a hospital. The father of the to be bride was shattered and in that moment, her nephew (a Zomato delivery boy) came forward to marry his daughter.

Me & some of my friends participated in that marriage. The nikah & rukhsati happened in the hospital itself. The other refugees & other people helped and it was perhaps the most beautiful Nikah I had a chance of attending.

Yesterday, Amma (the bride's mother) called me. She told me that they're still not able to go back to their house (in Govind Vihar) and are living in a rented flat in Mustafabad itself. They don't have any source of income. Now the flat owner is asking them to vacate.

Her daughter and son-in-law are also living in the same flat. She said, they were living in a separate house but then they'd have to pay rent of that property as well, so I called them at our place. Now they're living together but don't have money to pay rent

And the owner is asking them to vacate. If anyone can arrange a flat in or around Mustafabad for this family and help them financially, it'd be great help. DM me if you can help. I'll share the details and you can talk to Amma directly.
