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)。

But at 32 years old, having grown against a backdrop of extreme size prejudice, he finally found love – with a woman almost 2ft taller than him.
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.

He said: "I feel like God took something away and now he has given something back. I have got a reason to live my life. God has given me what I wished for."
他說：“我覺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了。我的生活有了理由。上帝給了我一直希望的東西?！?/div>

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

Determined not to be a burden – especially after the arrival of his new son Aseem Arif Tambe - Arif has invested in an electric wheelchair, which gives him more independence.
兒子阿西姆·阿里夫·塔姆貝的到來讓他更加不愿成為一個(gè)負(fù)擔(dān)，阿里夫于是花錢購買了一個(gè)電動(dòng)輪椅，這樣他就能更加獨(dú)立。

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，一起在公眾場合出現(xiàn)時(shí)心情也更加放松。
