The divorce obtained in UAE is very much valid as per law. Hence, you can re marry and need not to worry about it . If it is disputed by your ex husband in India if any case then you present the decree of divorce here in Indian jurisdiction court and defend your case or validity of divorce

Hi, There is no necessity to apply for divorce once again in India but some time Marriage Register are not accept the Divorce order of other countries and they insist order copy of Indian Court to cancel the Marriage certificate issued by them. If it is thing then you have to get proper order from the Court in India to cancel your Marriage Certificate Thank u
