Desperate Pakistani Wife Plea to PM Modi: Stop My Husband's Secret Wedding in Delhi

A woman from Karachi has issued a fervent plea for intervention after alleging that her husband abandoned her and is now preparing for a secret second marriage in Delhi.

Her video appeal, addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has drawn widespread attention and renewed focus on cross-border marital disputes.

Nikita's Marriage and Sudden Abandonment

Nikita Nagdev, a resident of Karachi, says she married Vikram Nagdev on January 26, 2020, in Karachi according to Hindu customs. Vikram, a Pakistani-origin man residing in Indore on a long-term visa, brought her to India a month later on February 26. What began as a hopeful start quickly turned into a nightmare, Nikita alleges.

According to her account, Vikram left her at the Attari border on July 9, 2020, under the pretext of a visa issue and forced her to return to Pakistan. She says he has not made any effort since then to bring her back. "I kept requesting him to call me to India, but he refused every time," she said in her emotional video message.

"Women Will Lose Faith in Justice"

From Karachi, Nikita recorded a video appeal that has since gone viral. "If justice is not served today, women will lose faith in justice. Many girls face physical and mental abuse in their marital homes. I request everyone to stand with me," she said.

She also described the change in behaviour she encountered from her in-laws soon after marriage. "When I returned to my in-laws' home from Pakistan, their behaviour completely changed. I learned my husband was having an affair with one of my relatives. When I told my father-in-law, he said, 'Boys have affairs, nothing can be done.'"

Nikita further said that during the COVID-19 lockdown, she was pressured to return to Pakistan and has since been denied re-entry. "Every woman deserves justice in India," she stated.

Complaint Filed as Husband Prepares Second Marriage

Once back in Karachi, Nikita discovered that Vikram was preparing for a second marriage with a woman from Delhi. Feeling betrayed and threatened by the possibility of being replaced while still legally married, she filed a written complaint on January 27, 2025.

Her case reached the Sindhi Panch Mediation and Legal Counsel Centre, which operates under authorisation from the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Notices were served to Vikram and the woman he planned to marry. A hearing followed, but mediation failed. The panel reported on April 30, 2025, that because neither spouse is an Indian citizen, the issue falls under Pakistan's jurisdiction and recommended Vikram's deportation.

Authorities in India Also Look Into the Case

This is not the first time the matter has surfaced in Indore. In May 2025, Nikita approached the Indore Social Panchayat, which echoed the call for Vikram's deportation. Indore Collector Ashish Singh confirmed that an inquiry was initiated and said appropriate action would be taken based on the findings.
