How is the property settled in an NRI divorce? Can an Australian consent order be imposed in India? Some of the Indian lands are under litigation.

In an NRI divorce, Indian property is settled by Indian courts based on where the property is located, not the foreign divorce decree; an Australian order isn't automatically enforced in India but can be evidence, requiring separate Indian court proceedings, especially for land under litigation, as Indian courts have exclusive jurisdiction over Indian property. Property division generally involves jointly owned assets, while self-owned property stays with the owner, but courts ensure fair division of assets acquired during marriage, balancing foreign decrees with Indian law.
