Full text
21. The Superior Court may refuse to order the return of the child if the person who opposes his or her return establishes that
(1)  the person having the care of the person of the child was not actually exercising the custody rights at the time of removal or retention, or had consented to or subsequently acquiesced in the removal or retention; or
(2)  there is a grave risk that his or her return would expose the child to physical or psychological harm or otherwise place the child in an intolerable situation.
