In order to create awareness among Indian brides getting married to overseas Indians about the fraudulent marriages and to safeguard their interests Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has launched an educational-cum- awareness campaign.
All the information is posted on the ministry's website.
The Ministry has also published a guidance pamphlet on marriages to overseas Indians in English, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Punjabi.
The booklet contains information on safeguards available to women deserted by their NRI spouses, legal remedies available, authorities that can be approached for redressal of grievances and NGOs which can provide assistance.
The steps taken in this direction include providing legal and or financial assistance to the Indian women who are deserted or divorced by their overseas spouses.
Under a scheme for legal assistance, assistance of USD 3000 in developed countries and USD 2000 in developing countries is given through Indian Missions for filling cases in the local courts or for legal counseling through the NGOs empanelled with Indian diplomatic missions or posts.
