NEW DELHI: A delegation of leading women NGOs led by V Hanumantha Rao, Member of Parliament and Iftekhar Shareef, the First Dual Citizen Of India met Vyalar Ravi, Union Minister For Overseas Indian Affairs on Oct 25 to present the memorandum in reference to increasing domestic violence cases and misuse of legal system for deceiving the spouses resulting in high rate of divorces.

The delegation included Members of Parliaments from Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and members of legislative assemblies. Hanumantha Rao said families must be aware about the increasing number of cases and problems relating to Indian girls marriages with NRIs.
