UP: 2-ft-tall man finds bride 5 years after seeking police's help to find 'love'

A 2-ft-tall man from Uttar Pradesh has finally found a bride after five years of rigorous search, including appeals to the UP police to find him, love. Last month, the 26-year-old Azeem Mansuri, who is the youngest of 6 siblings, made headlines after he approached Kairana police saying he could not sleep at night as he was hurt with rejections. He made appeals to the cops to find him a better half.

While Mansuri’s unusual request shocked the police, they promised to help, understanding his mental trauma. The school dropout runs a cosmetic store in partnership with his brother and is a resident of Kairana in Shamli district. While Mansuri has been getting rishtas as he attained marriageable age, he was, in most cases, turned down as he stands just barely a little more than 2 feet in height.

To marry girl from Hapur

After he went viral on social media, wedding proposals started flowing in for Mansuri. And he is now set to get married to a Hapur resident named Bushra. According to multiple reports, Mansuri recently visited Bushra’s hometown to finalize the date of the wedding in a Mangni ceremony where he presented his bride-to-be a gold ring and Rs 2,100 as a gift, sealing his intention of marriage. Mansuri in-laws, in return, offered him a ring on the bride’s behalf along with Rs 3,100 cash as a gift. Their union was blessed by a nearby Haji named Ayyub in a formal acceptance, and the family members on both sides. 

Mansuri’s search for a bride finally concluded after years of struggle as he asked police to find him a suitable match as a ‘public service’, and shot letters to UP CM Yogi Adityanath. He had also met with the former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav with a similar request and had sought the help of the Kairana Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). Shamli Kotwali SHO Satpal Singh had intended to assist Mansuri, although he wasn’t at the time sure how.
