Filing RCR is a wastage of time as neither you nor court can force or compel your wife to live with you against her wishes. Even if you win RCR case even then you cannot execute decree forcing your wife to live with you. There was no reason to sign joint memo taking consent of wife to meet daughter as per permission of your wife. You were required to file application IA under section 26 HMA claiming custody of daughter and as interim relief you should have asked court for visiting right to daughter on regular interval. You seem to have not been advised properly. For rest details and circumstances are required to be examined in order to suggest remedy.  

It is not clear whether the court has passed any orders on your IA for your visiting rights. If so, your wife is bound to comply with it in letter and spirit, failing which you may move for contempt. Especially for a girl child, the mother is the preferred choice of custodian. The father cannot demand it as a matter of right.

If the joint memo is an out of court arrangement by you both, then the contents is not binding on her and you may not be able to enforce the same, even though the court has passed a general order in this regard.
