as per the limited information provided by yoy after death of husband her petition for vacating divorce decree is not maintainable. still for better advice you need to personally come to my office with all the relevant documents of the case.

Hello. I have perused your query. The limitation to appeal against an order granting divorce is a period of 90 days. Clearly, 14 years is well past the stipulated time. Your brother's ex wife can under no circumstance seek a setting aside of the order. You can most certainly initiate criminal proceedings for initimidatiin against her. Please feel free to reach out to me in case you wish to discuss the matter in more detail.
