The Minister of State (Independent charge) for Overseas Indian Affairs, Shri Jagdish Tytler told the Rajya Sabha today that some cases of abandoning of wives in India by their NRI husbands have been brought to the notice of the Ministry. All States Government has been advised to take remedial measures including creation of separate cells to provide free legal counseling for the prospective brides. A booklet for the guidance of prospective brides and their families is also being brought out by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs.
Replying to a question by Shri Varinder Singh Bajwa, the Minister further added that Indian diplomatic Missions abroad, whenever they receive a complaint of torture or desertion of Indian wives by their NRI husbands, render all possible assistance with a view to bringing about an amicable settlement.
