Ten days after the parents of a 28-year-old woman in Maharashtra`s Nashik district called off her marriage ceremony with a Muslim man due to pressure from their Hindu community members, the ceremony was held on Thursday, family sources said.
Rasika Adgaonkar and Asif Khan were married at a hotel in Nashik as per Hindu rites, followed by a ‘nikah’ ceremony in the Muslim tradition, the sources said. In a letter to his community’s body earlier this month, the woman’s father, a jeweller, had said they decided not to go ahead with the July 18 wedding ceremony following protests on social media after the wedding invitation card went viral.
