"I Got a Pacemaker": Nurchamal Manas Kyzy Shared How Love Helped Her Through a Difficult Time
Nurjamal, who is 23 years old, was born on April 5, 2002, in the village of Kurshab, located in the Uzgen district. She currently lives in Bishkek with her husband, managing household chores while Suleiman works.
After completing the 9th grade, Nurjamal took courses in manicure and studied medicine. She got married at the age of 22.
Nurjamal met her future husband in 2024 in Istanbul (Turkey).
“I grew up with my grandparents because my mother worked in Turkey. When she invited me to Istanbul, I agreed. We met in a store where he asked for my number, but I didn’t give it to him. Later, my mother confirmed my feelings by saying, ‘He’s a good guy,’ and introduced us,” she recalls.
According to her, one day, while returning from work, Suleiman invited her to a café.
“We were drinking tea, and he opened up to me, suggesting that we start dating. That’s how our relationship began,” shares Nurjamal.
After that, she returned to Kyrgyzstan, but initially, Suleiman's father was against their relationship.
“Nevertheless, he insisted, ‘I love this girl and I will marry her.’
In January, he came to Kyrgyzstan for her, and in February they had their nikah. According to Kyrgyz traditions, they held a small celebration. A big wedding, as Nurjamal hopes, is still ahead,” she adds.
Nurjamal's family accepted her choice without objections.
The couple also faced difficulties.
“At the Osh market, some people mistakenly thought we were not married and caused a scene. We had to go to the police. In the end, they apologized and paid a fine,” Nurjamal recounts.
Her husband, Suleiman Yshyk, was born in 1999 in the city of Nigde (Turkey).
In May 2025, Nurjamal fell ill and underwent surgery: “I had a pacemaker installed. In June, we were in a car accident, but despite all the difficulties, we are managing. Now everything is settled for us,” she notes.
Currently, Nurjamal actively manages the household and creates content for her blog.
“In the future, we aim to build a strong family, develop our blogging, and provide our children with a decent upbringing,” she concludes.
