My wife jailed for entering India from Bangladesh border
Hi,
I am married to a Bangladeshi girl for last more than 1.5years. Since she didn't had legal Indian documents the marriage was just an formality without any documentation in a Temple. We were leaving happily since then but did not tried to register or but we made original .PAN CARD, ADDHAR CARD, BANK Acc , LPG Gas Connetion book prove she is Indian citizen. But we don't have marriage certificate. Whenever she wanted to visit Bangladesh we used to hire a agent who used to cross her over to Bangladesh illegally and bring her back in a month same way illegally.
23rd of September she was caught by BSF while crossing back to India from West Bengal border. They shifted her to the local Police station nearby the border. I stay in Mumbai but am in touch with the Agent and local lawyer who is looking after the matter. The lawyer does not seem to be intelligent enough to handle this case so I thought to get some expert advise here. 8th of October she was taken to court. The lawyer said since she did not have any documents to prove she is Indian and she has also given her Bangladesh address to the police it has become a problem to get her out from there. The court has given next date of 14th October 2015 where the lawyer will again try to get her out from jail. Can she will Bail out at next hearing.
So now I am totally confused about how would I get her out of it.
What would be the courts decision?
If she is jailed then what will be period?
I know that we have broken the law but I don't want to loose her now after so many years of our successful married life just because she is from other country and crossed in illegally.
Thanks,
Rahul
