An Indian woman married to a Pakistani man now seeks a divorce. They have a 5-month-old daughter born in Pakistan. The mother wishes to return to India with her child and obtain Indian citizenship for her daughter. What steps are involved in this process?

The mother needs to obtain a divorce decree from a competent court in either India or Pakistan, establish her daughter’s parentage through legal means, and apply for Indian citizenship for the child based on the parent’s Indian citizenship. She will need to provide proof of residence, birth certificate, and other necessary documents for the application process.
