Foreign employment will invite many social problems in the country if the current trend of the family breakdown continues.
Similarly, police officers have said that extramarital affairs of spouses have increased due to the partners going to the foreign employment. During the raids at different hotels and restaurants in Chitwan, the police have found that wives of the husbands working abroad were mostly the women involved in illicit activities.
