01-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My brother's wife is from Philippines. She left without consent of my brother and took the child to Philippines. She said that she would come back but now she is getting the documents changed of the child. We tried to complain to embassy but they are not listening. What action can we take against her and embassy? The marriage happened in India and child was also born in India.

In Matrimonial disputes, where nationals from different countries are involved things become complicated, & difficult to prosecute.

Now since she has taken child without your brother's consent, you may file Guardianship petition for custody of child, however that may not be effective since she is outside jurisdiction of india, and sending summons for such case needs to be done through Home ministry, which takes time.

TO compel her come back you may need to file some criminal case.
