Living On The Brink

Bay Area author and attorney, Anu Peshawaria, opens the closed doors of domestic abuse that is very prevalent in immigrant South Asian homes.  Thousands of South Asian women fall in love, marry and enter into a loving marriage and come to the United States to make a new home with their new husband and in-laws. Or, that is what they are led to believe.  Many of these Indian women are married through arranged marriages and find themselves isolated and humiliated by their abusive husbands and parents-in-laws.  Peshawaria offers stories and solutions on how the governments of India and the United States can and should change immigrants laws and regulations that would help these women avoid very tramatic situations.
