Legal Question in Family Law in Canada

Hindu Marriage applicability
My brother was married 4 yrs back in india and thereafter obtained permanent residence staus for his wife too. She has been hoodwinking him of all his hard-earned money and has implicated him in a case of domestic violence. In case he comes back to India, after the case has been settled in Canada, is he subject to Canadian law or Indian law as far a conditions laid down in Canada are concerned ?

You will governed by the law of the land for the offence committed. As per your question your case has already been settled in Canada. If she files a fresh complaint with regard to domestic voilence the offence should be committed here for taking cognisance of it. Jurisdiction does count.
