Govt contemplating dual passports for girls married to NRIs

[pillabachapk]

NEW DELHI(PTI): In a bid to help women stuck in abusive NRI marriages, the government is contemplating a dual passport system for girls who get married to Non-Resident Indians and migrate abroad with their husbands.


While one of the passports would remain with the parents of the girl, the other one will be the general document to be used for travelling.

"The process would begin with the compulsory registration of NRI marriages. As soon as the marriage is registered, the authorities will issue two passports for the girl," Tirath said at the social editor's conference here.

Apart from this, the government would also ask its missions abroad to monitor any such marriages in their country at least for the first three years.
