Yes you can always mention in the court through an affidavit that your partner is not disclosing his real assets and is liable to be prosecuted under section 199 r/w 191 and 193 and also under Section 209 of Indian Penal Code and the punishment can extend upto seven years. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Yes, in India, the courts can order your husband to present statements for his US bank account.

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 under Section 25(4) empowers the court to ask either spouse to produce any document which it considers necessary for the disposal of the matter. This would include financial information like bank statements.
