An Emirati woman’s quest to find her long-lost mother finally came to an end, 36 years after being separated, and in India. Local 3ameed News shared the story of Mariam Abdul Rahman Al Shehi, a 36-year-old Emirati who decided to travel to India to find her mother, whom she has never met since her parents’ marriage ended in a sudden divorce in the ’80s.

The Ras Al Khaimah native was raised by her father all those years, following her mother’s departure to India- which led to her ‘Journey of Hope. Following the recent death of Mariam’s father, she sought out in search for her mother, by publishing a statement through local Indian newspapers to help her.
