Anju, who was born in northern India's Uttar Pradesh state, and currently is a resident ofRajasthan in western India, crossed into Pakistan on the 21st of July 2023 by finally obtaining a visa after a painful and agonising wait of four months.

For Anju, this is the first time she is visiting Pakistan, with the intention of marrying Nasrullah, on a 30-day visit visa. Her documents were found to be in order by authorities in Pakistan.
