In a time, when people are choosing partners by looking at the physical appearance and skin tone, a British girl and an Indonesian man fell in love with each other and proved that beauty lies in the eyes of people and not on one’s face. The high beauty standards set by the society made many people lose their self-esteem and self-confidence. This couple broke all the barriers of society and got married.
The story of the couple got viral when Polly Robinson, the 21-year-old British girl posted a picture of them on Facebook. People saw her with a 26-year-old Indonesian man who is a restaurant owner and certified surfing instructor and got shocked.
Indonesian man Karna Radheya met Polly Robinson in Indonesia in August 2017. The couple used to see each other almost every other day during Polly’s stay in Indonesia. It took only a few days for the couple to fall in love with each other.
When Polly returned to her hometown, the couple kept in touch and were in a long distance relationship.
Polly decided to convert herself to Islam before six months of their marriage so that his parents can accept her. And finally, on December 16, 2018, the couple got married in a traditional Muslim ceremony.
The wedding ceremony was a very closed affair and was only attended by the groom’s family. According to the sources, Polly’s parents had already given her their blessing for the marriage but they stayed absent from the wedding.
Robinson said, “My only intention is to make our relationship halal. But since our story has already gone viral, I hope it will be an inspirational tale for netizens.”
Polly Robinson and Karna Radheya ’s marriage proves that love knows no boundaries and that you don’t fall with a person’s face but to their heart.
