Laban, the father of Rachel has lied to Jacob and gave Leah, Rachel's older sister instead because of the norms. But, Jacob did not give up instead he worked another seven years just to get Rachel her one true love.
Their love story proves that love may be not easy but if love is true, it will conquer everything.
