Another US woman arrives in Pakistan to marry her online lover in KP

Another American woman arrived in Pakistan to marry her online partner in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, after the couple met on a social media platform.

Sajid Ali, 32, a resident of the Upper Dir district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, claimed that a 42-year-old American woman named Mindy, who works as a flight attendant, travelled from Illinois (Chicago) to Pakistan to marry him after they became friends online.

He also shared a video from the airport, showing him receiving Mindy, who wore a shawl on her head and appeared happy as Sajid presented her with a bouquet.

Speaking to the media, Sajid stated that they had been in an online relationship for two years before Mindy eventually proposed marriage.

In a video statement, Mindy said, “My name is Mindy and I'm from America. I'm here in Pakistan for the first time. It's a very beautiful, peaceful country. I came for Sajid Khan, and we plan to marry soon."
