My husband is a Hindu, and he’s facing a dowry harassment case (Section 498A, Sections 3 and 4) filed in March 2016. He was working in a software company and is seeking to go to the US on an H1 or B1 visa through his employer. He renewed his passport in August 2016 and traveled to the US after September 2016. He hasn’t attended court hearings for the past five sessions. How did he get permission to travel to the US? What’s the current status of the case? Can I, as his wife and PW1, give my statement to the judge without him being present? What are our options right now?

It’s impossible to know how your husband obtained permission to travel to the US without specific information about his visa application and the legal process. His absence from court hearings has likely resulted in an ex-parte order and potentially a warrant for his arrest. You can provide your statement to the judge, but his presence is usually required. You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand the implications of his absence and the current status of the case, as well as the available options moving forward.
