India to Change Three Laws to Help abandoned NRI Wives
India's Law Ministry has approved proposed amendments to three specific laws to help the abandoned NRI wives.
29-year-old Sarita married Melbourne-resident Shekhar Sharma* in May 2015.
But a year later, she was left behind in India by her husband after her mother died of cancer.
“After learning about my mother’s illness, he got me medically examined thrice. Following her death, he accompanied me to India but left after 20 days. He later told me I could also get cancer someday,” Sarita said.
