So what i should do in this case. I dont want to go against huqooq.
Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
Since you are the guardian of the boy in reference, you should do that which is in the best interest of the child. If it is possible, establish a home where your wife and her child can live with you in Saudi Arabia. In this way, she will be at ease and it will increase her trust in you.
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
