Palakkad: Pattambi's young MLA Muhammad Muhsin has married a student from Uttar Pradesh's Balrampur. The wedding was held in the bride's hometown.

Shafaq, who has completed her M Phil from the Jamia Millia University in Delhi, has worked at the National Physical Laboratory there for sometime.
Muhsn and Shafaq knew each other for the last year-and-a-half.
Muhsin, who was a firebrand leader at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, is an MLA of the CPI. The bride's family, however, are Samajwadi Party supporters and they have contributed MLAs to that party.
