Divorce petition can be filed either in India or in Singapore. It also depends on the preference of the parties. As far as the Hindu marriage is concerned India has the best jurisdiction to deal with divorce matters. If your husband files for divorce in India the same must be contested in India.

your husband has to invoke the Indian law even though he had Singapore PR. the Indian law is very clear if marriage was held in India then divorce proceedings should be at India not in other countries
