friend you did not say what performa she has signed? what was written in that? Where is Girl residing India Or NSW? How many time they have spend? firstly you write each and every detail then you will get opinion.

However for your knowledge court has always soft corner for women she can settle the amount,If she has realy harrassed by her husband.

dear Akhilesh, thanks for reply, but the thing is we want to know only the law related to Australia, we had consult lawyer in India and know every aspect.
Presently both of them are living in NSW Australia. No doubt we can fight our case in India also but we want to pursue our case in NSW to get our all the dowry amount and permanent alimony and want to settle our daughter again.
Husband is very cruel and beat our daughter time and again and we want to get rid off that fellow.
So if any advocate from NSW or any expert in NSW law may plz help in this context.
Thanks in advance

It is better to post your query before Australian law firms because you do not want to have any query under India law.
