Belgian Divorced Woman Challenges IPC section 7D To Avail OCI Benefits
The Centre reiterated to Delhi High Court that foreign Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders cannot avail its benefits, if divorced. However, a Belgian woman divorced to an Indian man challenged section 7D(f) which talks about foregoing of OCI status on divorce. Surprisingly, the lady became a beneficiary of OCI in 2017 even after getting divorced in 2011. Currently, the ministry has given her an adequate time to explain her stand.
