Indirect flights are at worst an inconvenience, considering the scale of the issue at hand; but I had not thought of all the families and couples that have intermarried within the gcc and how this would affect them; that is sad and nothing should come in between a married couple and their families, love and life together...indian and pakistani couples have suffered for years with this issue and I pray the gcc governments will consider and make exceptions for families that are bound by ties of marriage...
