American Woman Converts to Islam for Love, Marries Pakistani Man and Starts New Life in Jhang

In a heartwarming tale of love transcending borders, 27-year-old Karensha Madison Grace from South Carolina, USA, left her life behind to embrace Islam and marry a Pakistani man from Jhang. Their story, which began on social media two years ago, has captured hearts across the internet, proving that true love knows no boundaries.

Karensha, now known by her Islamic name, Kaneez Ayesha, met Naeem-ul-Hassan online, and their friendship gradually blossomed into love. Despite the distance, their connection grew stronger through shared dreams, conversations, and mutual understanding. Eventually, Kaneez made the bold decision to leave her past behind including her previous marriage and three children—to start anew in Pakistan.

After arriving in Jhang, she converted to Islam at Jamia Arabia Darul Huda, embraced her new identity, and married Naeem in a simple yet heartfelt ceremony attended by close family and friends. Her courageous choice has sparked admiration and curiosity on social media, where many have praised her determination to follow her heart.

Kaneez Ayesha shared, “I was married in America and had three children, but when I met Naeem, I knew I had to make a change. After my divorce, I came to Pakistan, and now this is my new home.”

While their love story has inspired many, it also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in cross-cultural relationships. Not long ago, another American woman traveled to Karachi with hopes of marrying her Pakistani partner, only to return heartbroken when things didn’t work out. However, Kaneez and Naeem’s journey proves that when love is sincere, distance and differences become insignificant.

Their story has gone viral, with netizens celebrating their union as a testament to faith, courage, and devotion. It raises the question—do you believe in love that defies all odds?
