Whether the Canadian divorce is valid in India depends on the facts of the case. If the divorce was obtained by mutual consent, both parties participated in the proceedings, and a final divorce decree was passed by the Canadian court, then such a decree is generally recognized in India. In that situation, your sister can legally remarry and is unlikely to face any future legal issues. However, if the divorce was ex-parte or granted on grounds not recognized under Indian law, its validity may be questioned in India. The final opinion would depend on a review of the divorce decree and related documents. Therefore, it is advisable to have the decree legally verified before remarriage.”
