The ruling, delivered on May 15 in the case of Kuldeep Kaur Ahluwalia versus Amritpal Singh Ahluwalia, stems from a decade-long legal battle by a Punjab-born woman who said she endured years of abuse, isolation and coercive control after moving to Canada.

Kuldeep Kaur Ahluwalia married Amritpal Singh Ahluwalia in India in 1999 before the couple immigrated to Canada in the early 2000s. They later had two children. According to …

It is such a big deal. Almost, I think I didn’t spend as much on my marriage as they did on the first birthday of a child. And I’m sure, God bless them for having the money to do that, but I’m just saying, it’s all these events. And, it’s not just for the child.
