MUMBAI: A magistrate’s court has convicted and sentenced a 41-year-old man to a year’s imprisonment for failing to report to the authorities that the woman he had married was a foreigner and was living in the country illegally.
The man’s wife was also convicted and sentenced to a year in jail for being an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh.
The man, Sameer Barai, and his wife, Jyoti, have two children.
“There is nothing on record to show that accused no 1 (Sameer) at any point of time reported to police that accused no 2 (Jyoti) is a foreigner. To the contrary, it reveals that he (is) married to accused no 2, and they have two children out of this marriage. No one can suppose that a husband do not (sic) know the basic fact of citizenship of his wife. It is not at all expected. Any sane person can go with the same line of thinking,” the court said.
