Place of birth

@Khaatir: Regarding this edit, the sentence I added is

Zakia Jafri was born in 1937 to a wealthy landlord from Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh...

here from Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh refers to from where her father was, per the source, and does not acknowledge her place of birth. 𝓔xclusive𝓔ditor _{Ping Me🔔} 11:06, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ExclusiveEditor My concern was not with the place of birth, which I have already included, but with the year of birth, which you added. The reference you provided does not mention the birth year. The source states:

Daughter of a wealthy landlord in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, Zakia was married to Jafri, a lawyer hailing from Burhanpur, when he was posted as attorney in MP. When they came to Gujarat, they lived in a chawl at Chamanpura, a few metres from Gulberg Society.

The phrase 'from Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh' refers to the location of her father, according to the source, and does not confirm her year of birth. While the reference establishes her place of birth, it does not provide any information about the year of her birth. Khaatir (talk) 11:15, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
