A Pakistani woman married to a Jammu & Kashmir resident has been granted Indian citizenship by the government

A Pakistani woman married to a Jammu & Kashmir resident has been granted Indian citizenship by the government.

The beneficiary is Khatija Parveen who was born in Pakistan and migrated to Jammu and Kashmir after her marriage with Muhammad Taj, a resident of the (now) Union territory’s frontier Poonch district, a few years ago.

Poonch’s deputy commissioner Rahul Yadav said that Khatija has been issued a certificate of registration, granting Indian citizenship, under Section 5(1)(c) of the Citizenship Act, 1955 on the basis of her marriage to an Indian citizen.

The couple expressed great happiness and thanked the ministry of home affairs from giving its go ahead to issuing her the document.

This has rekindled hope among hundreds of Pakistani women married to residents of J&K.
