Anju, who went to Pakistan to meet Nasrullah after friendship on Facebook and then got married there, has returned to India this week.
Anju has changed her name to Fatima. Sources say that Anju was interrogated by Indian officials. During interrogation, she was asked to show her marriage certificate, which she could not produce.
Anju told that she has come to India to divorce her first husband Arvind and take her children to Pakistan. However, it is not so easy to take children to Pakistan.
Due to international law, going to another country with the custody of children is a big challenge.
What are the legal maneuvers?
The most difficult thing is that the law of which country will decide that the custody of a child should be given. This also includes the issue of children’s citizenship, favorite place and birthplace.
Now in which country the divorce process should start is also a different matter. What matters is the agreement reached between India and Pakistan regarding the custody of children. International laws can also be taken help in this.
The decision on custody of children will also depend on the cultures of both the countries. The court can also give custody to children according to their cultural attachment and lifestyle.
Apart from this, both sides should also have knowledge of international family law. Relations between India and Pakistan are not good anyway. In such a situation, there may be difficulty in this matter due to the difference in the legal systems of both. At the same time, the order given by the court in one country does not necessarily have to be followed in another country.
Such cases can take a long time in court. Apart from this, it also costs a lot. It is possible that one may have to travel to another country again and again, which is very costly.
On the other hand, it cannot be denied that custody cannot be given even against the will of the children. At the same time, if one of the parents does not obey the order and forcibly takes the children to another country, then legal complications will arise.
