In a move that shall greatly benefit Indian girls who have been victims of fraudulent marriages with non-resident Indian (NRI) men, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs has recommended the Government to enact a legislation or suitably amend the exisiting ones to protect women from such malicious NRI marriages.
The Hindu reports that the Committee, in its report on "Problems relating to Overseas Indian Marriages: Scheme for providing Legal/Financial Assistance/Rehabilitation to Indian Women deserted by their Overseas Indian Spouses", has found that such marriages, involving international protocol and jurisdiction issues, have not got the desired attention from the Central Government, in developing a system to support the abandoned women.
