Gudiya
Gudiya (d. 2 January 2006) was an Indian Muslim woman affected by the Kargil war, whose plight was highlighted by the print and electronic media. She was married to a sapper named Naik Arif in 1999, 10 days before he was called on duty to Kargil. Arif disappeared on September 16, 1999, and was later declared an army deserter before authorities realised he was prisoner of war in Pakistan. Because Arif was thought to be dead, Gudiya's relatives married her to a relative whom she had known since childhood, Taufiq on April 20, 2003, and she became pregnant with his child.
