The couple tied the knot on January 19. Anju¡¯s mother Bindu had been struggling financially since the death of her husband two years ago. While she struggled to save money for Anju¡¯s wedding, her neighbor who is a Jamaath secretary, suggested she approach the Jamaath committee. She did exactly that and found that Hammath committee was willing to help. According to a PTI report- one member even offered to take care of the wedding expenses.
"The mosque committee will gift 10 sovereigns of gold and Rs two lakh to Anju as a wedding gift. The marriage will take place according to the Hindu rituals. We have also arranged food for around 1,000 people," PTI quoted secretary of Cheruvally Jamaat committee Nujumudeen Alummoottil as saying.
"I've personally helped their younger child study. This time, the request was given to the mosque committee as the expenses for a marriage are quite high. So, the committee decided to assist the family," Nujumudeen further said.
