Is German Divorce Decree valid in India


18-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My son got married in Chennai under Hindu Marriage Act. The married couple moved over and settled down in Germany. Both of them hold valid Indian Passports. They recently got their marriage revoked in German court and my son got issued a decree. May I please know whether the divorce decree issued by German court is valid in India also and whether any other formalities need to be completed in India also for the purpose of remarriage of my son?

A decree from German court is not valid as such. The decree must be confirmed or ratified by an Indian court for remarriage in India. If your son gets married in Germany then the German court decree is valid as it is.
