The criterion for asylum is a well-grounded fear of persecution. Fear of sexual abuse may very well be found to be oppression within discretion of Immigration ALJ.
The US is a signatory of the Hague Convention on child kidnapping agreement with a number of other countries (not including Cuba and Pakistan) by which child custody is settled is the courts of the country from which the child was kidnapped.
Had Cuba been a signatory, and had a US court found that Elian was kidnapped, we would have been obligated to return the child to court in Cuba (not the father).
In a recent case a woman took her child from the father in Pakistan and fled to the US. The American court ordered the child returned to Pakistan despite the nonsignatory status of Pakistan.
There are several hundred similar cases a year involving
the United States. My impression is that most of the kidnappers are American woman, most of the children are American citizens, and the non-citizen husbands usually win.

A very good article
