I am U.S. citizen and i got married according to hindu law in court in india last year. After my court marriage i came to U.S. so that i can file my wife's visa but despite of the fact that i applied for her visa she denied going for visa interview and as a result her visa application was set aside. Now after much deliberation she decided that she will apply for mutual consent divorce so she calls me from india for proceedings i flew back after few months with my heart broken to sign divorce papers but my in-laws along with some greedy cops set up a trap for me ! When i approached my wife with divorce papers they threatened me to give some settlement amount ( $ 10,000) in order to get divorce and in case if i refused to give them that amount i will be in jail (Cops in india do accept bribes and they were bribed to get the job done) cops came to me and arrested me saying that i have to pay her other wise my passport will be impounded. I argued with them saying that why should i pay you guys when i have not neglected my wife i am willing to accept her and i don't have problem maintaining her ! But my wife and her parents were stubborn so therefore with the help of some good people i left india before getting harrassed now my wife is claiming maintenance on grounds of desertion and her lawyer is threatening me that they will get me extradited from U.S. and get me arrested if i don't pay them ! My question to experts is being a U.S. citizen what should i do in case if i get an inquiry from consulate or embassy ? Should i apply for divorce annulment in U.S. ? What will be the right way to save myself ? Me and my family is tired of receiving frustrating phone calls from india ! Unfortunately indian law is women biased !
