226 Indian women in lurch due to failed marriages with Pak nationals September 29, 2013 The News

HYDERABAD: Cross-border marriages, especially between Indians and Pakistanis, are far from made in heaven. Data obtained from the Pakistan and Bangladesh Cell (PBC) of the special branch reveals that 226 Pakistani nationals, who had hitherto renounced their Indian citizenship, have returned to the city after failed marriages. Owing to the tension between the two countries, they are bereft of any support from family and friends. Divorces or untimely deaths of spouses forced these women, six of whom are Hindus, to return to their country of birth. Their in-laws, in many cases, refused to lend them a helping hand leaving them traumatised.
