Whether the police has initiated action through the consulate to arrest the husband?Neverthless he can apply bail apprhending arrest if he enters India.

Mr./ Ms. Anonymous,
Father-in-law and mother-in-law has already stated to have been granted anticipatory bail, through a prudent, able and competent lawyer engaged and paid by the accused, isn't it ? What is his/ her (lawyer's) opinion and advise ? Proceed accordingly.

The query is based on presumptions and assumptions which starts with the words, "If...….." means it is a hypothetical and fabricated story.
The couple is stated to be foreigners and not Indian, more over, after marriage they are stated to have left India in 2012 i.e., about 8 years before filing of complaint, which is not maintainable.

IPC Section 498 is applicable but it been 8 years so it is not maintainable as expert Dr. vashista said.

What is the opinion of your lawyer as he is fully aware of the case file and facts.
Try to have anticipatory bail before arriving India. Such step is open to certain complications.
