Mangaluru, Jul 12: The wedding ceremony of a poor Hindu girl was scheduled to take place on Sunday July 11. However, the marriage was on the verge of being cancelled because of financial implications. On learning about this, a Muslim family from Manchila came forward to manage the expenses, met the entire expenditure involved with the marriage, and ensured that the girl exchanged wedding woes with the groom without any hassles.

Razack of MK family and Sureshanna are known each other for the last several years. Both are as close to each other as siblings. Sureshanna (65) along with his sister, whose husband is no more, her daughter, Kavana, another widow and a small girl have been living in a rented house in Machila SP compound.

MK Razack recently went to the residence of Sureshanna to meet him. He observed that Sureshanna and his family members were deeply disturbed by some worry, and they looked pale, dejected and frustrated. Razack pressured Sureshanna to reveal to him what was bothering them. Sureshanna said that already the family is finding it hard to have proper food. Added to this, the marriage of Kavana, a member of his family, was scheduled to be held on Sunday but the family had no clue how to arrange finances. Razack took pity on him and immediately asked MK Riyaz, popularly known for his cricket commentary in five languages, to the spot. Riyaz arranged gas and ration supply to the family immediately. They also brought the problem of the family to the notice of UH Abdul Rahman, president of KM-MBM marriage fund, and chairman, M K Hamza. The MK family took pity on Sureshanna's family and decided to absorb all expenses connected with the marriage of this poor Hindu girl. Accordingly, the Mehendi function of the marriage was performed in the rented house of Sureshanna on Saturday. MK family had purchased a golden ring, toe ring, ear lobes, silver items and other items connected with the marriage. MLA U T Khader and other donors too have extended financial help for the marriage. The marriage function was held in a grand way at Goddess Durgaparameshwari temple, Talapady on Sunday. MK Riyaz, MK Razack, MK-MBM marriage fund and Nammoora Vishya’s group admin, U H Abdul Rahman, participated in the marriage.

Sureshanna's family is overflowing with a feeling of gratitude to MK family for the large-hearted gesture.
