First of all she should reply to emails or reminders by denying the divorce. Second thing file representation alongwith strong evidence of marriage before the embassy also. Meet the senior officials lf the police and put pressure for registeration of FIR against her in laws and husband also.

As per your query if the accused are absconding from the police then you have to collect the details of their properties and to attach the property with the indulgence of the Court after that declare the proclaimed person as per provisions of law. Also issue look out notice for their where abouts. So far as the reply of the divorce notice issued by the counsel of husband you should consult with your lawyer and file reply if he suggests. As per your case marriage is solemnized and consumated in India as such foreign court has no jurisdiction to grant any decree of divorce. You also can file maintenance petition both under the provisions of Cr.P.C. and domestic violence Act as well as under Hindu Marriage Act and to create charge upon the property of her husband.

Since marriage was solemnized in India as such foreign judgement on divorce will not be helpful to the guy in India. I would advise that once case is registered, u should reply the same. My advise is that instead of going in for dowry case, you should have got a case of fraud and rape registered against him. As regard his parents who Re on the run , no matter .police can declare them P.O. Go ahead
