I am working in Eritrea country as Indian teacher.Here I married one muslim(I too muslim) Ethiopian girl.This is my second marriage.I not gave dioverse to my 1st wife.I took marriage certificate from Eritrean court(Sharia court).1 year before I appllied for addition of name of my 2nd wife in my passport to Indian High Commission,Nairobi,Kenya.I attached all necessary documents.But they are refusing to add.7 month before PIO(MR.ABRAHA)came to Eritrea from Kenya. I met him.He took my all original documents and told he will send new Delhi ,If Minsitry agree he will inform me to send passport through Indian Consulate,Eritrea.If not agree he will send my documents back.But now 7 months gone neither returning my documents nor asking my passport for addition of name.
Now I want to file petion.In which court shall I file?

There is no need to add your second wife's name in your passport. Your name may be added in her passport as husband or spouce.

I do agree.But she is living in Eritrea without passport but valid residence permitt as earlier it was one country.There is no Ethiopian Embassy in Eritrea mow(after war).She need to go Ethiopia for making passport.At that time she can submit copy of my passport having her name as a strong proof.Secondly when I will apply for her visa to Indian Embassy then if my passport has her name she can get family visa easily.Thirdly Embassy is not returning my Original marriage documents.
