Barmer:Despite the sour relationship between India and Pakistan, the people of Barmer and Jaisalmer, which located about 90 km away from the international border in Rajasthan, maintain the 'roti-beti' relations with the neighbouring country.
Far from the diplomatic channels of both the nations, the people living on either side of the border often marry internationally; Indians bring brides from Pakistan and vice versa.
In January 2019, three men of Barmer got married in Sindh, Pakistan. However, a month later, tensions between the countries increased after the Pulwama attack. Since then, the Pakistani brides have not been able to secure Indian visas to travel to Rajasthan.
Although the grooms waited in Pakistan in hope of bringing the brides back with them, India's immigration department did not grant access to the brides.
