I have submitted my answers with details as much as possible.

- Since, the marriage has been solemnized and registered in India, it means that your daughter is legally his wedded wife , and he cannot deserted her on any grounds . 

- Hence, you should know that your daughter has the following right 

1. As per law, A wife has the right to claim decent living standards and basic comforts of life from her husband. Hence for claiming the maintenance for her &child, she should file a petition under section 125 CrPc.

- Her husband is under legal obligation to provide the same to her at any cost, even he is working or not , and also your daughter is an earning lady.

1. Law entitles wives a basic right to reside in the matrimonial/ home, whether the house owned by her husband or his parents, a rented property or officially provided to him. 

- Hence, for claiming her residential right, medical expenses etc., and also for teaching a lesson to the family members of her husband, who subjected her torture &harassment, she should file a petition under the provisions of Domestic Violence Act.

1. As per the Supreme Court, A wife has complete ownership rights over all her Streedhan, the gifts and money given to her before and after marriage. The denial of Streedhan to the wife makes the husband and in-laws liable for criminal charges. 

- And further, if the husband or his family members subjected a woman to cruelty for the dowry demand, then they can be booked under Section 498-A.

- Your daughter should lodge a written complaint against her husband & his family members, in the Women cell/Mahila Police, after mentioning all the details of torture &harassment. 

- The women cell firstly will try to reconcile between them, otherwise, they will lodge an FIR against all the person, who subjected your sister cruelty. 

- However, if you don't want to create trouble for her husband , then she can take divorce from her on mutual consent ground even in US. 

First of all you can file case in Indian court. As parents of girl on her behalf you can file case. I can answer you in deep by checking few  things in past history of both. 

Yes, girl can claim for alimony from her husband and whatsoever marriage expenses.

If Girl and her parents feel that they had been cheated from Boy and husband family, then you can file additional cheated case them.

Regarding the settlement its totally depends upon both the parties and not on any one single party so the answer here will be not so unique, each and every case has different scenario and prospectus.

Since the boy is not interested in continuing the marriage and has fled her immediately after the marriage there is no point in waiting for him to return for years together

However since there ws no dowry demand or other acts of cruelty, she can ask him to agree for mutual consent divorce, failing which she can file a contested divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty citing this abandonment as a reason. 

If they both are residing in USA, they can move an application for mutual consent divorce in USA itself, but it should not be a no fault divorce or irretrievably broken down marriage.

They are not recognised as legally valid divorce in India.

Since she is employed and drawing salary income she may not be eligible for maintenance but she can demand the expenses towards marriage and alimony as compensation for an amicable divorce.

Since she is employed and drawing salary income she may not be eligible for maintenance.

But as the marriage expenses have been borne by you you may demand the as well as one time settlement of alimony.

She can file the divorce case in India through you as her POA agent too but she may have to be present before court at the time of letting in he side evidence.

The litigation expenses cannot be predicted because it involves lawyer's fees. 

You can demand compensation based on the expenses you incurred towards marriage and one time alimony setlement.

Without any documentary evidence about his premarriage disease, you may not be able to take any action on that.

If you want detailed and elaborate advise and opinion as well as suggestions to move forward in this regard, you may have to consult an advocate in person or personally either from this forum or outside.
