Is divorce given to American citizens in India valid in USA
18-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I GOT MARRIED ACCORDING TO HINDU CUSTOMS IN INDIA. MY EX HUSBAND DIVORCED ME IN INDIA WHEN HIS COMPANY SEND US ON AN ASSIGNMENT TO INDIA FROM U.S.A.WE WERE BOTH AMERICAN CITIZENS AT THE TIME OF DIVORCE. HE DID THAT TO PREVENT ME FROM GETTING 50/50 SHARE AS PER U.S.A LAWS. THE DIVORCE WAS GRANTED ON MUTUAL CONSENT AND I HAD TO COMPROMISE. IS THIS DIVORCE DECREE VALID IN U.S.A? CAN I FILE FRAUD DIVORCE IN THE U.S?

What I got it from your description is that the divorce was obtained under Hindu Marriage Act from Hon'ble Family Court after following due procedure.
Also the marriage was organized in India under Hindu Marriage Act.
If that is so, marriage is no more valid in USA.
