Abraham Fehr, 22, and Sandra Paredes, 30, were married in April of this year. They did so despite the strong opposition of the boy’s parents, who invoked his orthodox Mennonite customs, to point out that marriage to a “foreigner” was not accepted in the Manitoba community (Department of San Pedro).
Against all obstacles, the bride and groom were married before the Paraguayan State and went to live in Coronel Oviedo, the city where Sandra is from..
The story had become the talk of the whole country. Some highlighted love, “which can do everything”, others pointed out that in the long run, the boy would back down.
Which was what happened today, when the young Mr. Fehr left his wife and returned to the colony with his parents, who “forgave” him the slip and welcomed him back into the community.
The repentant Abraham wrote a statement to members in Manitoba. in which he expresses his repentance, as well as his desire to return to his father’s house, strictly accepting everything that the rules of coexistence of his members have.

Meanwhile in the city of work, Coronel Oviedo, the case was taken normally, since there, the ideas and customs are much more open than the Mennonite, so the episode would not be more than one more case of marital breakdown.
