In the early nineties, Mohammed Maktoum, short for Emir of Dubai, fell in love with a Greek woman, Zoya Grigarokus.
Not intending to bring the woman into his harem, he entered into a nikah-muta, a temporary marriage in Islam. Zoya gave the Emir a beautiful daughter, Christina. Together with her mother, she lived in Foggy Albion, received a European education and upbringing. From religions Christina, under the influence of her mother, chose Christianity.
Mohammed Maktoum all the years of growing up did not leave Christine without attention, as well as his former lover, they never experienced financial difficulties.
Celebrating her sixteenth birthday, Christine moved to the Emirates and changed religion, receiving the Muslim name Mahra.
Her father appreciated his daughter’s deed and honoured her with a royal title, making her his heiress. The princess’s older sisters did not receive this honour, although they grew up close to their father, because they always wanted to go to Europe.
Mahra’s appearance could not fail to attract the attention of a worthy man, last year the girl got married. The wedding in its scope and splendour is worthy to become another fairy tale in ‘1000 and one night’, so far those who saw this celebration with their own eyes share their impressions and emotions.
Mahra is rightly considered the most beautiful girl in her country, let us wish her family happiness and prosperity in such a complex and fickle world of the East.
