| 520 | _aAbandonment of wives by non-resident Indian men in transnational marriages has become a widespread phenomenon. Abandonment can take three forms: (a) a woman, migrating after marriage to her Indian-origin husband’s country of residence, may be ousted or (less commonly) flee after a period of abuse; (b) a woman who has migrated with her husband after marriage may be deceived into returning to India for a vacation and abandoned there, while her husband returns and revokes her visa; (c) a woman may be left behind in India after marriage while her husband goes back with assurances that he will sponsor her visa, but the woman is left with her in-laws and is eventually ousted from their home or leaves because of domestic violence. This study was conducted between December 2013 and May 2015 with abandoned wives in the second and third categories in Delhi, Punjab and Gujarat, states in India which have a long history of out-migration to the UK and other countries in the West. This study explores the nature and patterns of abuse and abandonment in transnational marriages, and documents women’s experience of the legal and judicial apparatus in the UK and India in their quest for justice. It is hoped that the findings will stimulate policy debates within and between the two countries on abandonment as a form of gender-specific violence and on measures to address the problem.
