Rashidi, a Tanzanian man, has told a rare and shocking true love story about how he lost his sight years after marrying Lilian, a woman who also had trouble seeing.
He said that when he told his family that he was in love with a blind woman, they laughed at him and turned their backs on him.
In an interview with Afrimax, the Tanzanian couple talked about their story as they held hands in public.
Rashidi, who was from Arusha, told her he liked her. Lilian was shocked that a normal person who had never been blind could want to marry her.
The woman’s husband had left her, leaving her with their two children.
Many people were surprised that this didn’t stop Rashidi from telling her he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Rashidi’s family said that he was the one who needed help, not the other person. But he didn’t care what his family said, and they ended up getting married.
But a few years later, Rashidi was put in jail for no reason and went blind all of a sudden. He said that the bad thing happened because his siblings never wanted him to do well in life.
Lilian, who was also not born blind, was with him to help him get used to the new way of doing things. After a while, they had a child who could see and helped them with chores.
