Exceptionally wistful situation. But taking away someone's documents forcefully is a criminal activity which must be reported to appropriate authority in first instance.

I agree with @seagul's assessment. It may or may not be a criminal offence in the relevant country, but should certainly be reported to the police.

I am not sure that the lady in question would have a right to come to the UK, especially if the husband is not sponsoring her anymore and/or has notified the Home Office that the relationship is no longer subsisting. If the children are being taken care of by one parent, I doubt that the other parent would have a right to come to the UK.

But await advice from others.
