Question

Can a divorce in foreign country be accepted in Indian court

29-Jul-2023 (In Family Law)

Hi, My spouse is in India and I am not going back to India anytime soon. My question is, Is there a way the divorce that I can get in foreign country can be accepted by Indian court without having the need to go back to India. How can I make this happen? It is a ground based divorce. If necessary, my spouse can negotiate on some terms not to challenge the divorce in Indian court. Also, my spouse wont participate in divorce proceeding here. Thankyou in advance

I am extremely sorry to hear of your troubles. Personally, after being in this profession for many years, I feel that getting a divorce abroad is a hassle free exercise and a foreign decree is enforceable in India. A divorce proceeding can be very lengthy and ugly as well. So go to a good solicitor/baristor or lawyer, depending on the jurisdiction that you are in and get advice before instituting any proceedings. In case you need any references then please do email us and we can put you in touch with the relevant people.
