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·塔姆贝身高不足三英寸半（约107厘米），本已接受了自己将孤独终老的事实。

但在32岁的时候，多年饱受歧视的他却最终寻到了真爱，而他的妻子高他近2英尺。

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."

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