Indian-origin couple wins race discrimination case over adoption, awarded £120,000 in damages

An Indian-origin couple based in Berkshire, UK have been awarded £120,000 in damages after a judge ruled that they were discriminated against on the basis of race by not being allowed to adopt a child.

Sandeep and Reena Mander had their application to join a register of approved adopters turned down because of their Indian ancestry, and were told their chances would be improved if they looked to adopt in India or Pakistan.
