法庭宣布，雅思新娘回到印度是不安全的

The womans husband had married her only to move overseas, and turned violent after she failed to get a student visa to Australia, a tribunal heard.

法庭獲知，雅思新娘的丈夫為了出國才娶她，在她沒能申請到去澳大利亞的學生簽證之后，她丈夫開始家暴她

1. A woman in her mid-twenties, who has been dubbed IELTS bride has had her claim for refuge in New Zealand accepted by the Immigration and Protection Tribunal.

雅思新娘25歲左右，她在新西蘭提交的避難申請已經被新西移民局通過。

2. In a decision released this month, the tribunal held that the woman would be at significant risk or would be killed if she returned to Punjab where her husband lives.

新西蘭移民局本月公布的一項裁決中稱，如果雅思新娘回到她丈夫所在的旁遮普邦，將會面臨巨大危險，她或許會被丈夫所殺害。

3. The tribunal heard that Simran Kaur married to a man who came from a wealthy and politically connected family，believed she was genuinely married to her husband but that her husband and his family had only established this relationship on the condition that she would obtain a visa to study overseas.

移民局獲知，Simran Kau與一名家境殷實，家里有政治背景的男人有了事實婚姻，移民局也相信她的丈夫及其家人只有在她成功獲得海外學習簽證的前提下才會承認這段關系。

4. Before their marriage, Ms Kaurs husband told her family that the marriage would take place within a month of her sitting an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and applying for a visa and the wedding reception would be held after the visa was granted, Radio NZ reported.

據《新西蘭之聲》報道，Kaur的丈夫跟她家人說，在她參加完雅思考試，成功申請留學簽證的一個月內，他們就會舉行婚禮。

5. She sat an International English Language Testing Systems (IELTS) exam, which is often considered the first but a significant step towards an opportunity to live and work in developed countries, such as Australia and Canada, in September 2010 and scored 5.5 bands. However, Ms Kaurs application for an Australian student visa was declined. Her subsequent student visa applications for Australia and Canada were also declined.

2010年9月，她參加了雅思考試，成績?yōu)?.5分。雅思是人們能去澳大利亞，加拿大等發(fā)達國家工作和生活的第一步，也是最重要的一步。但是，她前往澳大利亞的留學簽證被拒了。她隨后申請的前往澳大利亞和加拿大的留學簽證也都被拒了。

6. Though now married, she was forced to live with her parents and her husband became increasingly controlling and abusive. He became violent and stopped Ms Kaur from visiting her sick father in the hospital and did not allow her to attend a cousins wedding.

雖然現(xiàn)在已經結婚了，kaur還是不得不和父母一起住，她丈夫控制欲也變得越來越強，還不斷虐待她。他變得非常暴力，不許kaur去醫(yī)院看望生病的父親，也不許她參加表姐的婚禮。 7. While in the bedroom together, [her husband] started by slapping her face, whichculminated in him attempting to strangle her. The day following the reception, he pulled her hair, beat her, and kicked her in the stomach. On successive nights, [he] continued to assault [her] in their bedroom, the tribunal heard.

移民局獲悉，當他們兩人單獨待在臥室的時候，她丈夫就會扇她耳光，后來甚至差點勒死她。在她的避難申請通過的前一天，她丈夫甚至揪她的頭發(fā)，打她，踢她的肚子。連續(xù)幾個晚上，她的丈夫都會在臥室里虐待她。

8. In September 2014, her husband applied for a student visa to New Zealand on Ms Kaurs behalf. On learning that she was pregnant, her husband forced Ms Kaur to undergo an abortion, fearing it may affect her chances of getting a visa to New Zealand.

2014年9月，kaur的丈夫以她的名義申請了去新西蘭的留學簽證。在得知她已懷有身孕你的時候，她丈夫擔心這會對此次留學申請有影響，就強迫她做了人流。

9. When she refused, he kicked her repeatedly in the stomach. Later, he and his parents took the appellant to a local hospital and arranged for an abortion to be performed. They then took her to convalesce at one of their relatives homes for a few days. The appellant again felt suicidal, the tribunal heard.

移民局獲知，當她拒絕做人流的時候，她丈夫不停踢她肚子。之后，她丈夫及其父母帶著她去了當地一家醫(yī)院，安排了流產手術。之后，他們把她帶到一個親戚家休養(yǎng)了幾天。Kaur想自殺。

10. Though Ms Kaurs NZ student visa was approved in January 2015, her husbands application for a dependent visa was declined twice.

Kaur的留學申請于2015年1月獲準通過，但是她丈夫的家屬簽證卻連續(xù)兩次被拒。

11. The tribunal was told he continued to control Ms Kaur from India, including forcing her to send him money and where she could live and work. When she told her husband she wanted a divorce, he threatened to kill her younger brother and rape her sister.

移民局獲悉，Kaur的丈夫繼續(xù)在印度控制著她。他強迫她給他寄錢，規(guī)定她應該在什么地方住，在什么地方工作。Kaur告訴丈夫她想離婚的時候，她丈夫威脅說要殺了她弟弟，強奸她妹妹。

12. Fearing she might be hurt or even killed if she returned to India, Ms Kaur applied for refugee and protected person status in New Zealand. A refugee and protection officer first declined her application, but her appeal has been upheld by the Immigration and protection tribunal.

由于擔心會印度可能會受到傷害甚至遭遇死亡，Kaur在新西蘭申請了難民和受保護人身份。一名難民和保護官員一開始拒絕了她的申請，但是她的上訴得到了移民局的支持。

13. The tribunal ruled that it would not be safe for her to return to Punjab or anywhere in India as a single divorcee. There can be little doubt that, should the appellant return to her home district of the Punjab in India, she would be seriously harmed or killed, the tribunal said.

移民局稱，她以離婚女人的身份回到旁遮普邦或者印度的其他任何地方都是不安全的，她可能會受到嚴重傷害甚至被殺害。毫無疑問，如果Kaur回到旁遮普邦，她將會受到嚴重傷害，還可能會被殺害。

14. Given the appellants experience of family history of mental illness, her own history of self-harm, and personal background of domestic violence she will be particularly vulnerable tofuture psychological and/or physical abuse. She still suffers from the effects of past abuse, including having an enforced abortion.

鑒于上訴人的家庭精神病史、自身的自殘史和曾遭受家暴的經歷，她以后很可能遭受心理或者身體的虐待。她仍然受到過去虐待經歷包括被強制墮胎的影響。

15. However, the Tribunal said Ms Kaur and her family could not have been oblivious to her husbands motive of using their marriage to secure a visa through an IELTS Bride

然而，移民局稱Kaur和她的家人不可能在結婚之前不可能不知道她的丈夫其實就是想通過雅思新娘獲取簽證。

16. Given the prevalence of contract marriages in Punjab, and the pre-marital stipulation from [husbands] family that the appellant first sit an IELTS test and apply for a visa, the Tribunal rejects this aspect of the evidence as implausible.

鑒于旁遮普邦普遍存在的契約婚姻以及南方家庭的婚前規(guī)定，即上訴人必須先參加雅思考試，申請簽證然后才能結婚這一事實，移民局駁回上訴人事先不知情的證據。
