Interestingly enough, not only did the couple’s friends and relatives, but Nemmara MLA K. Babu also attended the marriage ceremony. Assuring a complete support from the government, the MLA claimed that the couple will be supported in their dream of having a house.
For the unversed, earlier in June this year, the news of a Kerala woman who was missing for over a decade being found made a lot of buzz. It was later found out that the woman had been living with her lover barely 500m away from her own home where she was reported missing from.
Details
It’s not every day that a person, missing for over a decade, is found safe and sound. It’s even rare that one discovers that the person was living with their lover not too far away from their own home. And it’s especially rare that the person eventually ends up marrying their lover and gets the support of local government.
Due to religious differences, a lot of couples in India face the challenge of their families not agreeing to their relationships. In such situations, it’s quite common that the couples runaway and start a life of their own.
But the couple from Kerala is truly special, as you would find out in this story.

The Backstory Behind Rahman and Sajitha’s Union
The backstory behind Rahman and Sajitha’s union is a fascinating one. According to reports, Rahman and Sajitha lived with each other for a decade. While this may not sound anything out of ordinary, it should be noted Sajitha stayed in Rahman’s room for over 10 years.
Hiding Girlfriend in Room
Reportedly, Sajitha and Rahman feared opposition from their families. On a fateful day, Sajitha told Rahman that she can’t live with her family anymore and thus, Rahman decided to hide her girlfriend in his room.
For a decade Sajitha stayed in a small-room without anyone in Rahman’s family finding out. Interestingly enough, Sajitha’s family, who lived just a few meters away from Rahman’s house, had no information about the ordeal.

In 2010, the family also filed a missing person’s complaint and Rahman was interrogated by the police. However, somehow the couple managed to not let the secret out. Reportedly, when Sajitha had to go to the toilet, she would jump out of the window of the small room. If and when she would fall ill, she would be given medicines by Rahman.

In an interview, Rahman claimed that he had installed a small TV inside the room so that Sajitha could keep herself entertained. All hell broke loose during COVID-19 when Rahman was out of job. As Rahman wasn’t contributing monetarily to the family, he would only be given some rice. This led to problems with food.
Couple Gets Nabbed
As things got worse, the couple left the home and rented a place in a Palakkad village. Soon, Rahman’s family filed a missing persons complaint for him. However, before the police could find him, his own brother found him in Nemmara and soon, a confession followed.
