ABSTRACT

“You can take the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women.”

– Jawaharlal Nehru

This research paper explores the issues and challenges that Indian women face in NRI marriages. The first section defines the term “NRI” (Non-Resident Indian), followed by an overview of the rise of such marriages. The core of the paper focuses on the marital difficulties encountered by women in NRI marriages, including deception, abandonment, emotional manipulation, and struggles related to adjustment, employment, and legal recourse. The paper also evaluates the current legal framework in India and proposes solutions to safeguard the rights of NRI married women.
