However, the girl’s relatives did not lose hope for years.
11 years ago, the girl left the family and was considered missing.
Her relatives had already practically stopped all searches, and then it turned out that all this time she had simply lived in a neighboring house.
In 2010, Sajita quietly packed up and left home. She didn’t take her cell phone with her; it was not possible to find it in the vastness of India.
However, Sajita’s relatives did not lose hope for years.
The situation changed dramatically with the disappearance of a neighbor, Alinchuwattil Rahman. His brother accidentally spotted him in another village and noticed the girl next to him. And yes, it was Sajita.
It turned out that in that February 2010, Sajita had not run away at all, but simply moved to Rahman’s house, which was further down the street.
For 11 years she lived in a small room – Rahman did not show her to her relatives.
But in 2021, the man had a fight with his family, took Sajita and moved to another village where they were seen together.
“They were from different castes, relatives would never agree to a marriage. So they had to hide,” Rahman’s brother told reporters.
The story ends on a positive note. The local court has officially given permission for the wedding, Rahman and Sajita are no longer required to hide from relatives.
