After 1
Nihal is back chairing the debate of the day

An Asian Network Report's found thousands of Indian brides are being abandoned by their British Asian husbands - do you feel sorry for them?

Activists in India say twenty per cent of all marriages between Indian women and overseas men are fraudulent. In today's special report we've found that one of the biggest culprits are British Asian men who are getting substantial dowries from their foreign brides before leaving them.

Does that surprise you? Do you know of cases where that's happened? One of our guests says the real victims are the men who are being duped into marriage for their British passports. Do you agree? Would you ever marry a woman or man from back home?


After 2 Actress Ayesha Dharker is with me next to talk about her new role as Queen Shahrazad in a new adaptation of Arabian Nights. 

And then I  want to know if you would ever consider giving up half of your salary to charity because my next guest has. What have you done for charity this year?
