Is a US Diovrce Decree valid in India?
18-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
My ex husband and I got married in India in 2010 & moved to the US immediately after. We filed for a divorced in the US (California) in Dec 2013 starting "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for the divorce. There were no kids involved and a very smooth divorce. I current have the US decree with me as evidence of my divorce.
My question is - is this decree valid in India? If not, what's the process to get it validated in India?

Important thing is first whether marriage got solemnized as per Hindu Law. If dear marriage took place as per Anand Rituals. You have to obtain decree as per Hindu Marriage Act. If you wants to marry in India then first you have to apply for decree before Family Court or before Civil Court Senior division if Family Court is not in your district.

yes the decree is valid in india because both the country has signed a reciprocal agreement by which all the decree of India is valid in US and Visa versa.
so your decree will be accepted by all the govt departments in India
