Sorry to hear it didnt work out for Shamiza. She was such a beautiful bride. You can tell she had a nice heart and is a good person. Wish her the best and hope one day she finds her knight and shining armor.

[@kiranw7393]

The commentary is wrong a lot of the times confusing Muslim religion and tradition. They say "it is a Muslim tradition for the bride to arrive early and stay in a side room"... That is incorrect and has nothing to do with being Muslim. The Haldi ceremony also has no significance in religion. Please like if you agree 👍

[@av1421]

All the muslims are ex-hindus. Some of the Hindu traditions such as Haldi remain even though they are practicing Muslims.

Poor Shamiza. She loves Mama and Papa more than her new husband. I'm glad she's happy. Onwards and upwards Shamiza. 👍💪👍

[@roslyngraf1737]

Exactly. Wish her all the blessings she deserves.

[@silmuffin86]

And mama and papa messed up, why would you choose someone you don't know for your own daughter??

[@Morris774]

Shamiza’s family I just love them. The care and love that they have shown her. Her brother all of the preparation he did for his sister, even flying to meet her future husband. He is an amazing brother and she has an incredible family. 🙏❤️

Pratik is all in, whereas Zayid was clearly there for the new citizenship

[@Humanlysane_]

I had bad feel from the beginning about Shamizas choice...so sad that she can't live under those circumstances :(

[@sahotamarie71]

Over weight

[@antoniajane5442]

He lost weight and he then thought his bride wasn't attractive enough. ​@@sahotamarie71

[@Windigo-OAK]

Sure, being overweight sure was the reason the entire marriage failed 🙄

[@investigacaoeleitv]

Clearly he wasn't attracted to Shamiza, but clearly he was attracted to get in NZ. He didn't look at her face when he met her, it was a sign she ignored.

[@apollonia-ava]

She is so pretty and such a sweet girl. She deserves so much better ❤🫶🏽

[@vidananovazelandia]

well that was waste of 50k

[@kiranw7393]

the 'Hal di' ceremony is not a Muslim tradition. It has NO SIGNIFICANCE in Muslim religlion. It is a cultural phenomenon. Nothing more.

[@sharynkhan1104]

Oh dear poor shamiza I had a feeling it wouldn't last, tbh Zayid never looked overly impressed with her did he? So much for her family stating that love marriages don't last. I have been married to a Muslim for decades ours is a true love marriage and we dated 6 years before we actually got married I'm not Muslim.

[@user-rj1vj5wk9f]

When he lost weight and she didn't, I thought uh oh

[@anitasavvas6914]

She looks spectacular!!!! Beautiful bride. ❤

[@user-rj1vj5wk9f]

Shamiza couldn't be described as happy on her wedding day, there was no chemistry between her and Zayid and they really ween't enjoying each other. It's very sad. God to know she's happier now.

[@bevs9995]

50,000 dollar wedding and the arrange marriage fails after 3 months.. now what :0

[@juanitarichards1074]

I feel he only married her to get NZ permanent residence. Its more common than people realise in arranged marriages.

[@bevs9995]

@@juanitarichards1074 he gets that after only THREE MONTHS???? In America you have to be married like 4 years and 3 months, something like that.

[@CharlotteDonovan-ku3md]

He looks like a playa in his social media

[@debscott9809]

Groom looked past her upon arrival without making eye contact. Seemingly uninterested in Shamiza. I don’t feel he found her attractive and she failed to make any efforts to look good…just no chemistry to work towards.

[@roslyngraf1737]

It is all just BUSINESS. I have half Tamil Cousins ( 2× F. / 1 × M.) who married into Islam. (Dad Hindu, Mum Catholic) Their marriages lasted because they CHOSE their Partners.

[@ali143penina]

Well wishes for Shamiza. That Island boy got a free trip, board and meal.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

It's unfortunate, but even the best intentions of marriage couples, relatives, religious and cultural differences can have profound effects on young couples. It happens to many marriages despite all intentions and is not unique to any race or creed. May they all find happiness in the future.

[@dianahussain5066]

I'm sorry but Pratiks horse pictures 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@kaleahcollins4567]

Rehanna shouldve helped him find work first before he moved so far from his own famiy and work

[@sewforlife586]

After 3mos they split up!? That girl has issues and she needs to drop the weight. Her husband dropped the weight and she have to. Shes to shy and withdrawn. She needs to get over that.

[@MsAaprill]

Who are you to tell someone to change their personality?!

[@sewforlife586]

@@MsAaprill A psychologist.

[@MsAaprill]

@@sewforlife586 a psychologist would never shame a person to lose weight and change their personality like you did in your comment, so you are either joking or the worst psychologist I have ever met in my entire life!

[@silmuffin86]

Something tells me she chose an arranged marriage because she is too insecure to date and believe someone could fall in love with her

[@mchowdhury3184]

Sorry but you need to take care of yourself and be in shape and question sometimes if your physical appearance would be something your partner likes

[@hamisisalmah8764]

After watching ithink shamiza was just childish there was nothing wrong with Mohamed and he should be the one crying leaving everything for her in a new country who overcrys like that on there wedding she wasnt ready nxt tym she should be strong

[@safaasulaiman]

Marriage is a sacret bond, this Muslim wedding is mostly based on customs, even the dress code, these "Muslim" women wearing the garb of the Hindu's... Sad 😢

[@av1421]

The muslims were all hindus once!!! Shame on you!

[@faiezaebrahim7772]

Watching this video from the start, I could immediately see this Muslim couple wasn't suitable for each other. The guy is very much for exercise and wife Total opposite. They hardly looked at each other with love for each other.
