Pak Woman’s Heartbreaking Appeal to PM Modi: “Stop My Husband’s Second Marriage”

News Desk: A Pakistani woman has issued a dramatic appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing her Indo-Pak husband of deserting her and preparing to remarry in Delhi while still legally wed to her.

Nikita Nagdev, a Karachi resident, said her husband Vikram Nagdev, who lives in Indore on a long-term visa, abandoned her at the Attari border in 2020 and has since refused to bring her back to India.

Married in Karachi, Sent Back at the Border

According to Nikita, she married Vikram on January 26, 2020, in Karachi under Hindu rituals and travelled with him to India the following month. But within months, the marriage soured.

On July 9, 2020, she alleges, Vikram left her at the Attari border on the pretext of a “visa issue” — and she was soon pushed back to Pakistan.

“He never tried to take me back. I kept requesting, and he kept refusing,” she said in a video message recorded in Karachi.

Affair Allegation, Lockdown Pressure

Nitika says that soon after their wedding she suspected Vikram of having an affair with a relative. When she confronted her in-laws, she claims her father-in-law shrugged it off, allegedly saying, “Boys have affairs; nothing can be done.”

During the COVID lockdown, she alleges, Vikram pressurised her to return to Pakistan — and once she did, he refused her re-entry into India.

‘Preparing for a Second Marriage in Delhi’

Back in Karachi, Nikita claims she discovered Vikram was secretly preparing to marry another woman in Delhi. She filed a formal complaint on January 27, 2025.

The case went before the Sindhi Panch Mediation and Legal Counsel Centre, authorised by the Madhya Pradesh High Court for cross-border marital disputes. Notices were sent to Vikram and the woman he allegedly intended to marry, but mediation collapsed.

In its report dated April 30, 2025, the Centre said the case falls under Pakistan’s jurisdiction, since neither spouse is an Indian citizen, and recommended Vikram’s deportation to Pakistan.

Indore Authorities Also Examining Case

This is not Nikita’s first attempt to seek redress. In May 2025, she approached the Indore Social Panchayat, which echoed the deportation recommendation.

Indore Collector Ashish Singh confirmed that a formal inquiry has been ordered and said action would be taken once the findings are complete.

Cross-Border Marriage Protection Under Spotlight

Nikita’s appeal has triggered a wider debate on the legal fragility of cross-border marriages, especially involving Pakistani-origin Hindus living in India on long-term visas.

Rights groups in both countries say the case highlights:

• the vulnerability of women whose status depends on spousal visas

• the lack of clear legal mechanisms for transnational abandonment

• how disputes often get trapped in jurisdictional gaps

‘I Just Want Justice’

In her emotional appeal, Nikita said:
“If justice is not served today, many women will lose faith in the system. I just want justice.”

Her plea has prompted calls from social organisations in India and Pakistan for swift, coordinated action to ensure her case does not get lost in bureaucratic back-and-forth.
