Muslim board to check Arab-Indian marriages - Times of India
"The order came two days after a 73-year-old UAE national Mohammed Jaffer Yaqoob Al Jorani was arrested for deserting an Indian girl two days after marrying her. The incident has once again brought to light the plight of young Muslim girls being exploited through the so-called contract marriages. Due to historical, social and religious links with this capital city (Hyderabad), nationals from Arab countries visit the city in large numbers. Some of them come solely to prey on young girls from poor families arranged by the so-called marriage brokers. These girls are duped into marrying aged men after being promised a better future and money for their families. They, however, end up being sexually exploited and are often abandoned after a few days."
