The Central government is considering changes in the law to
enable seizure of an absconding NRI husband’s share of joint property and
prevention of alienation of commonly held land to build pressure on offending
spouses who refuse to answer court summons. The law may have strict measures
like revocation of passports in case of husbands who fail to respond to
summonses and declaring them absconders. The move will take the shape of a
Cabinet proposal after legal scrutiny. According to officials, there will be a
need to amend the code of criminal procedure (CrPC), the marriage registration
act and passport rules.
