Soon a policy for the Aadhaar registration of NRIs, Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) that the United Identification of India is working on will be introduced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It has also been proposed that the National Commission for Women (NCW) should be made the nodal authority to investigate disputed cases of NRI marriage<\/strong>. Apart from the proposal to mandate Aadhaar for NRI marriages, the committee has sought an amendment in India\u2019s extradition treaties with other countries to hand over the custody of NRI grooms accused of domestic abuse and dowry harassment.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Relevant Stories for NRIs\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/voting-rights-to-nris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-Voting Rights to NRIs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/telangana-to-create-centers-for-telugu-diaspora-welfare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Telangana&#8217;s NRI Policy for Telugu Diaspora<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/compulsory-interview-of-green-card-applicants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-person Interview for Green Card Applicants<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The panel on NRI marriages, which was formed in 2016, has also proposed deputation of special teams comprising officials of the Ministry of External Affairs, the Home Ministry, and the Women and Child Development Ministry<\/strong> in the countries with a growing concentration of NRIs, such as USA, Canada, Australia and the UK. African and Gulf nations are also where India should depute the proposed special teams to track fraudulent or abusive NRI grooms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why is Aadhaar for Registration of NRI Marriages Mandatory in India?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>796 complaints about abusive, fraudulent, absconded NRI grooms were registered to the National Commission of Women from September 24, 2009 to November 30, 2011. <strong>About 25,000 brides from Punjab alone have been abused and abandoned by their NRI husbands over past few years, according to the Union Ministry for Overseas Indian Affairs<\/strong>. These days, most of the victims of domestic violence and mental abuse are Indian brides on H4 visas in USA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes Aadhaar for registration of NRIs marriages compulsory in India is a number of obstacles in tracing the whereabouts of fraudulent or abusive NRI grooms, which primarily because of incorrect overseas addresses<\/strong>. It makes the serving of court notices to the accused difficult. In several cases, NRI grooms have been found furnishing incorrect or fake details of employment, income, marital status, family, property, immigration status, and career prospects deliberately.<\/p>\n<p>If the Ministry of External Affairs makes Aadhaar a compulsory requirement for registration of NRI marriages in India, the difficulty in investigating such cases would be mitigated. <strong>In addition to the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/travelbeats\/indian-government-portal-for-abused-indian-brides-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">government portal for abused Indian brides overseas<\/span><\/a>, Indian government has taken several measures to protect the rights of NRI brides, including a financial aid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Indian Eagle<\/span><\/a>, a trusted travel partner of Indian Diaspora, publishes the latest news and stories in the interest of Indians worldwide apart from visa, immigration, Indian tourism and air travel news on its digital magazine, Travel Beats.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marriages are made in heaven.
