A 24-year-old Indian woman, identified as Simran Simran, has been reported missing in the United States just six days after arriving for what was said to be an arranged marriage, according to New Jersey authorities.
Simran landed in the U.S. on June 20 and was last seen on June 26 in Lindenwold, Camden County. Surveillance footage reportedly showed her looking at her phone and waiting, but she did not appear distressed, officials said.
Police note that Simran has no known contacts in the U.S. and speaks limited English. She was carrying an international phone that works only via Wi-Fi, further complicating efforts to trace her. Her last known attire included grey sweatpants, a white T-shirt, black flip-flops, and diamond-studded earrings. She is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 68 kg, with a small scar on the left side of her forehead.
Authorities are exploring all possibilities, including whether the arranged marriage served as a pretext for travel with no intent to proceed with the engagement. The Lindenwold Police Department has urged anyone with information to come forward.
Her disappearance highlights growing concerns about the vulnerabilities of individuals involved in international matrimonial arrangements, particularly those with limited local support or language skills.
