My sister got divorced by her wedded husband by talaq-e-sehbara, this was done when he was in saudi and gave the power of attorney to his mother in india to pass talaq in front of the qazi, we had no idea untill we got the letter from the qazi's office which was notarized, and the meher amount as decided during nikah was returned. she was at our home with a 6 months old baby and her husband got married to other woaman.
I would like to know if the divorce valid and can my sister get married again and can her new husband have rights on her child. please guide us with the legal formalities . both the parties are sunni muslims.

talaq-e-sehbara has no force in India.
Challenge this in civil court.

Your advise will be greatly appreciated
