150 Pakistani Brides Reach India for Weddings After Operation Sindoor Visa Restrictions
Following Operation Sindoor in 2025, which restricted visa and border access for Sindhi visitors from Pakistan, about 150 Pakistani brides engaged to Indian men faced delays in their weddings. Traditionally, these families used the Wagah-Attari border for travel, but after the operation, visas were denied via this route. Recently, the Indian government issued visas allowing the brides and their relatives to enter India through alternate transit routes such as Dubai, Oman, and Sri Lanka, enabling the resumption of these cross-border marriages.
