150 Pakistani Sindhi Brides Reach India for Weddings via Transit Routes After Visa Restrictions
Following visa restrictions imposed after India's 2025 Operation Sindoor, which closed the Wagah-Attari border route, at least 150 Pakistani Sindhi brides engaged to Indian men have reached India for their weddings via transit routes through countries like Dubai, Oman, and Sri Lanka. The Indian government issued visas to these women and their relatives after months of uncertainty. Community leaders and religious groups facilitated the process, while around 300 more brides await visas to join their partners in cities including Nagpur, Raipur, Jodhpur, and Pune.
