NRI's for people in India are something very important. India in the 21st century is well ahead of other countries and capable enough to compete develop countries. India's standard of living is better than in developed countries. In developed countries things are already done, whereas in India there are always changes for improvements. As said variety is the spice of life, changes make life better and enjoyable. Developed countries have a dull routine life. By all this I want to make people understand that NRI's are living more miserable life than people in India. Its time to change our attitude towards the concept of getting a better life to daughters by getting them married to an NRI. NRIs don't enjoy indian life style, culture, festivals and many more things. Their kids are neither completely indians nor like those in the resident countries. Our educated and advanced India now needs to understand that we are well off where we are. Getting daughters married abroad just excludes them from all the happines they could get living in India. People should understant money is not everything. Dollars and pounds only get materials for which we give away the charm of life.
DGNTN/7/2006 06 JAN 2006 DEAR FRIEND ( INDIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY OFFICIAL) I trust this comment finds you in a state of BLISS. 2 I wish to share with you my views on your noble support in NRI marriage deal so as to make your contribution useful ( divine). 3 In that your role should be support the bride side and facilitate in elimination of WRONG PERSON from abroad. 4 This can be done by getting a questionnaire filled up by the perspective bridegroom from abroad. (25 questions) 5 If this questionnaire is filled up by the groom , the bride side will understand that THE GROOM in proposal enjoys the LOVE OF GOD . This is the thumb rule to ensure the success of the marriage. The questionnaire could also filled by the bride side for maintenance of transparency as support the GROOM SIDE for being taken on a ride by the wrong bride either. Should you desire more details , kindly contact for help for this social cause. With best regards Yours Sincerly Ajeet Singh
I apperciate the kind of information that you have shared with the public. Generally we don't know the other side of NRI lifestyle and only by going through these articles one will get to know about dark side of green grass. Thanks a lot!!!
We request Rediff to give complete picture not a onesided one. Why is it that US and Canadian consulates have given warnings in their website against the rampant misue of IPC 498A in India.. They have warned the NRI Grooms against marrying Indian girls.. Why is it that UN says due to misuse of IPC 498A, elder and innocent in-laws are behind bars.. Why is it that Supreme court has declared IPC 498A as "Legal terrorism".. Why is it that news papers in Us have carried details of NRI husbands who are facing false IPC 498A charges because their Indian wives just married them to get US Visa and then gave them divorce(besides blackmailing to get huge amount of alimony) to marry their boy friends..
Marrying an NRI safely has its own pros and cons because there are very few ways in which one check out whether the guy is really from a well to do family so it is a positive step that the govt has taken in this direction.But the amount of rules and regulation imposed may prove to be too much of a constraint for the bridegroom and it may end up in the break up of the alliance.But however the rules are strictly in favour of the bride and to safeguard her future and so the bride family should not succumb to any pressure that may be imposed by the groom"s family.
The article advicing on how to marry a NRI groom is timely and useful. Not only NRI grooms, there must be some pitfalls and risks associated with marrying NRI brides too. We need info on that too. Given the fact that the Indian diaspora is becoming bigger such information relating to NRI matrimonial matter need to be broadcast to ensure happiness of the families involved. Further if possible matrimonial web sites should publish photos and other details of proven cases who have spoilt lives of girls due to false matrimonial information. After all, it is every parent's wish that his or her daughter should be happily married to a good well settled boy. -Sunil S Chiplunkar
