BBC Asian Network - Nihal, The Goverment making it harder to marry somebody back home.

Is the government right to try and make it harder to marry someone from back home?

Naresh Puri sits in for Nihal and asks if the government is right to try and make it harder to marry someone from back home? Plus he talks to Meena Patel of Southall Black Sisters.

Is the government right to try and make it harder to marry someone from back home? David Cameron has announced a range of immigration measures that would make it a lot more difficult for South Asians to marry people from back home. For example he has suggested that a financial bond should be paid in order to make sure that spouses don't need to rely on the state for financial support. Do you think this is right? 

After 2, Meena Patel from The Southall Black Sisters chats to Naresh about a film aimed around the campaigning group.

Later in the hour we're asking, what's the most adventurous thing you've ever eaten?
