At just under three-and-a-half foot tall, Arif Ibrahim Tambe had resigned himself to life alone.
阿里夫·易卜拉欣·塔姆貝身高不足三英寸半（約107厘米），本已接受了自己將孤獨(dú)終老的事實(shí)。

但在32歲的時(shí)候，多年飽受歧視的他卻最終尋到了真愛，而他的妻子高他近2英尺。

His new wife Ameena Ahmed, 21, even agreed to marry him - despite the threat of being disowned by her family.
即使家中威脅若是嫁給他便要斷絕關(guān)系，年僅21歲的艾米娜·艾哈邁德還是同意成為他的新婚妻子。

And they have now taken their relationship to new heights by having their first child together.

他說(shuō)：“我覺(jué)得上帝從我這里拿走了一些東西，而現(xiàn)在他又把一些東西還回來(lái)了。我的生活有了理由。上帝給了我一直希望的東西。”

The couple met in a mobile phone shop three years ago and both say it was love at first sight.

And with their newfound confidence the couple are more comfortable to be seen out in public together.
夫婦兩人新找到了自信，一起在公眾場(chǎng)合出現(xiàn)時(shí)心情也更加放松。
