Deaf Men Can Marry Too!
When Asadullah, a deaf man, was 18 years old, he lived in a village in Surkhrod. He was known as
being illiterate and some people called him names. However, his family managed to find a girl for
him and after much discussion a date was set for his engagement. On that day the relatives of his
fiancée started to voice objections as they were thinking that Asadullah is useless because of his
deafness. Arguments went back and forth. Those who knew him defended him, and told everyone
present that Asadullah is a member of the deaf club in his village and that he could read and write. A
piece of paper was found and Asadullah proved his abilities much to the amazement of the crowd -
he was then allowed to marry happily!
Asadullah is now a full-fledged member of his community. His dignity and self-confidence has taken
a leap forward.
