We at Travel Beats, an overseas Indian community portal by Indian Eagle Travel<\/a> published a detailed article on how grim the picture is for those Indian brides who are victims of fraudulent, abusive NRI marriages<\/strong> when Indian government announced to launch a dedicated portal for abused or abandoned NRI wives a few months back. Nearly 25,000 women in Punjab who were abused and abandoned by their NRI husbands were figured out by the Union Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs in a 2007 study by Indian government.<\/p>\n The government has taken several initiatives and implemented various measures for the welfare of abused, abandoned and socially or mentally isolated NRI brides over the past few years. One of the recent measures is the proposal to make Aadhaar Card mandatory for registration of NRI marriages<\/span><\/a> in India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The latest consideration is the ‘Registration of Marriage of Non-Resident Indian Bill 2019\u2019 seeking NRI grooms to register their marriages within 30 days from when they get married in or outside India<\/strong>. If they fail to do so within the stipulated period of time, they will be stripped of their passports. The ‘Registration of Marriage of Non-Resident Indian Bill 2019\u2019 goes beyond revocation of passports to penalize abusive, absconding NRI husbands by attaching their property.<\/p>\n
