Statement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 1 is incorrect. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are permitted to maintain various types of bank accounts in India, including both Rupee accounts (like NRE – Non-Resident External and NRO – Non-Resident Ordinary accounts) and foreign currency accounts (like FCNR(B) – Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) accounts). Statement 2 is correct. The National Commission for Women (NCW) in India has repeatedly recommended making the registration of marriages of NRIs mandatory to protect Indian women marrying NRIs from issues like abandonment, domestic violence, and lack of legal recourse.
The mandatory registration of NRI marriages has been discussed and proposed as legislative measure to provide greater legal protection and facilitate action in cases of marital disputes or abandonment involving NRI spouses.
