What is the validity of UK decree in India


18-Jun-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi , I am undergoing a divorce, with me in India ( indian passport) whereas my spouse acquired a UK citizenship a few years ago. The petition was filed in UK on mutual consent ( unreasonble behaviour), it usually takes 4 to 6 months and I am expecting to get the certificate by this month or next. My concern is if it will be valid in India or not? Do I need to be aware of anything. It was a short marriage of 1 year. Thanks

Hi concern, As i read your query and you yourself mentioning that you got a valid mutual divorce certificate from UK as now you have no need of indian certificate of divorce as your spouse is is a UK national and now he/she will not create any problem in your next marriage. Also you missed to tell me that is the marriage was registered in india ? Regards

Sir Decree issued by the UK court is valid in India. If the law permits, you may get it this month or the next. Indian law regarding divorce does not permit for such decree on mutual consent since it is a short marriage.
