First of all file a petition in the high court for illegally detaining your children and not letting you meet them.

As you are a muslim you have the option of either divorcing her or asking her if she wants divorce. 

If she is not coming back without any valid reasons then she is guilty of breaking your family.

No they cannot do anything unless you don't attend proceedings in India. A power of attorney can be given to any trustworthy person and he may institute legal proceedings against them. You should take strict steps. Children are the victims of such disputes as they will be told that you are wrong.

1. if you want to remain in the #matrimonial relationship, then, try to settle the matter amicably with your wife involving elders/relatives/friends etc and take her back, and if, failed, file #Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court,

2. you can also fil a suit for the custody of the kids,

FYI

The mother usually gets custody of the minor child, under the age of five but in case the mother is careless or ignorant towards the child it can be given to the father.

but after five it can be given to any parent.

various factors are considered while deciding custody petition like financial status, the welfare of the child, will/consent of the child, educational status, living standard, place, extra amenities, etc

The most important factor is the BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD.

 

keeping in view the above facts, you can prepare your defense.

 

3. once you start the litigation she may file/claim"

#498a complaint 

#Domestic Violence case

#maintenance,

so be ready for them too,

Yes....you can proceed to file a habeas corpus petition against your In laws so that your family be presented before High Court. Then it will be clear as to whether your wife and children is desired to come with you or not. If your wife agree before Court to come with you, then there is no problem. But if she deny, then you'll file a case in family court to take costudy of your children.

 

So far as your arrest at Airport is concerned, it be possible only when a FIR has been registered against you under cognisable offences. Need any help to find out, please talk any lawyer of the nearest place.

You can file case in the Indian court and take the child custody to take abroad for better  future of them for educational purposes and better leaving of standard. 

 

Here you can prove that you can take better care than her in the UAE.

 

Don't apply in the UAE any case because Indian law do not accept any order of foreign court only mutual understanding between spouses are accepted.

 

If you're parents or siblings are here in Indian than for time bey you can give them legal POA to attend court proceedings on your behalf and on video conference you can attend further court hearing.

1. To get a remedy you should explore legal recourse in India and not in abroad. 

2. Considering your priority you will have to file a suit for restitution of conjugal rights

3. In the said suit you can file petition for visitation of your child. 

4. She can file 498A IPC case which can easily be dealt with by applying for bail. Once bail is granted there is no scope for issuing LOC.

Dear Client,

You can file a case for the custody of the children in India giving Special Power of Attorney to any relatives in India.

You cannot take any action against her parents or her sisters for their influence on your wife.

You have been living separately for the last four years away from her, hence you may decide about quitting the married life if your wife is not understanding your feeling or realising the marital obligations  or want to continue the marriage with yo anymore.

There is no necessity for you to  to give them the monthly maintenance without any court order.

Let them apply for maintenance which you can challenge at the time of trial.

If you want the custody of your children you can file a child custody case and also can seek visitation rights as an interim relief in the same case to visit your children periodically as per the schedule you have drawn in that child custody case.

You can consult an advocate and file a contested divorce case on the grounds of desertion and cruelty.

By filing divorce case nobody will blacklist you.

If you have any close relatives in India, you can give them the power of attorney deed to them to conduct your  divorce and child custody case and to represent you in court during your absence on the dates of hearing.

Dear client,

This is to inform you that,

  • Following Section 20 of the CPC, 1908 you can institute the suit where the defendant resides or where the case of action arose, therefore you need to initiate it in India only.
  • To proceed with the case of defamation you need to collect proof regarding the statement made against you which are defaming in nature.
  • You can send the Legal Notice to your wife demanding her to come back with the children to UAE followed by suit for Restitution of Conjugal rights in the Family Court. In accordance with the case of Moonshee Buzloor Ruheem v. Shumsoonissa Begum,1867. It was observed in this case that if either party to a marriage contract has withdrawn from the society of the other without any valid reason, or has neglected to perform the marital obligations, the aggrieved party may bring a suit in a civil court for the restitution of conjugal rights. Thus, where a wife refuses to live with her husband, the husband is entitled to sue for restitution of conjugal rights.
  • If your wife does not agree to come back to you with children’s then you can file for divorce petition along with custody of the children’s.

Dear Sir/Madam,

You are suggested to send one legal notice to your wife to join you with kids at your place in UAE. And if not complied by her, file the case to call her at your place. The case may be filed at that place itself.

1. Find out what is the real reason for her leaving you with her kids since it is very unnatural that she will leave her around 12 years old married life being influenced by her sister's advice.

 

2. Try to address the said problem thereafter.

 

3. Attempt to talk to her and settle the dispute amicably since divorce is the 2nd most stressful event in one's life.

 

4. If your effort fails, file a child custody case for your kids who have crossed 5 years age.
