I had an arranged marriage in Pakistan three years ago. We had a baby girl, and my wife’s mother came over on a six month visa. Now my wife has vanished with her mother, who is obviously outstaying her visa; I haven’t seen the baby for three months. Is there anything I can do?
Your main fear at this point must be that your daughter will be taken out of the country. This can constitute a criminal offence if it’s done without the consent of the other parent. If your daughter hasn’t yet been issued with a passport you can ask the passport office not to issue one without informing you first. If necessary a court can order the passport office not to issue one. See a solicitor. You need help in tracing your wife and daughter in order to re-establish contact.
