For those living in India and Pakistan who have relatives across the border, getting a visa to visit their loved ones can be a challenging task, even frustrating. It is like asking for the moon. It could take an endless period of time, perhaps months or even years, before a visit is greenlighted by the authorities.
Some visits can have unhappy consequences, as happened with bridegrooms from India who went to Pakistan but returned without their brides.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we witnessed not one but two real-life Veer Zaaras. Okay, we are stretching it a bit, but in a beautiful cross-border love story, two Pakistani brides reunited with their Indian husbands at Barmer in Rajasthan.

JAIPUR: It was a moment to cherish as two Pakistani Hindu women, married to Rajput youths in Rajasthan, were finally reunited with their husbands on Tuesday, two years after their weddings.
When they arrived at their in-laws homes in Barmer and Jaisalmer districts, the young brides were welcomed in a traditional way in a festive atmosphere full of joy and emotion.
Chagan Kanwar, wife of Mahendra Singh, and Kailash Bai, wife of Nepal Singh Bhati had got married in January 2019. But the two brides could not come with their grooms to India after marriage as they could not get Visas. Their weddings were quickly followed by the Pulwama terror attack and the Balakot airstrike. Given the India-Pakistan tensions that erupted, the young couples were forced to live separately on the two sides of the border.
