Sheikha Mohammad Hamoud Alhamdi, a 21-year-old from UAE, who has married a local of Karak and considers Pakistanis loving and caring, is learning Pashto to share Arabic folktales and stories with her in-laws. Ms Alhamdi is hopeful she would get a Pakistani citizenship like two Indian girls before her, a few months ago. “I am hopeful the courts will do justice in my case also,” she said. The woman said she was not facing any problem in Karak, a backward southern district of NWFP, as it was just like her own village in UAE.
