Her Father Married Her to a Beggar Because She Was Born Blind, and What Happened Next Left Everyone Speechless

Zainab had never seen the world, but she could feel her cruelty with every breath she took. She was born blind into a family that valued beauty above all else. Her two sisters were admired for their striking eyes and graceful figures, while Zainab was treated like a burden, a shameful secret kept behind closed doors.

Her mother d.ied when she was just five years old and since then, her father changed: he became bitter, resentful and cruel, especially to her. He never called her by her name. He used to call her “that thang.”

He didn’t want her at the table during family meals or outside when visitors came.

He believed she was cursed and, when she turned 21, he made a decision that would shatter what was left of his already broken heart. One morning, he entered her small room where she was sitting quietly, feeling the pages of a worn-out book in braille, and left on her lap a folded piece of cloth. “You’re getting married tomorrow,” he said flatly.

She froze to d:eath. Words were meaningless. To get married?

With whom? “He is a beggar of the mosque,” her father continued. “You are blind.

He is poor. A good game.”

She wanted to scream, but nothing came of it. She had no choice.

Her dad never gave her options. She got married the next day in a small, rushed ceremony. She never saw his face, of course, and no one described it to her.

Her father pushed her towards the man and told him to take his arm. She obeyed like a ghost in her own body. Everyone laughed behind their hands— “The blind girl and the beggar”.

After the ceremony, her father gave her a small bag with some clothes and pushed it back towards the man. “She’s your problem now,” he said and walked away without looking back. The beggar, whose name was Yusha, silently drove her down the road.

He didn’t say anything for a long time. They came to a broken small hut on the outskirts of the village. It smelled like wet earth and smoke.

“It’s not much,” Yusha said softly. — But you’ll be safe here. She sat on the old mat inside, holding back tears.

This was his life now. A blind girl married a beggar in a hut made of mud and hope.

But something strange happened that first night.

Yusha prepared tea for her with soft hands.
