What is the jurisdiction for filing a divorce case?


20-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
I was married in 2008 in MP. My daughter was born in 2010. After marriage because of domestic violence I lived separated for a year. My husband apologised and we moved to UK in 2013. There he again started mentally torturing me. I returned to India in May2017 and working in Pune. Now we want to file a divorce case. He is in UK and I am in Pune so where and when can I file a divorce case???

Hello
The jurisdiction is applicable to
1) Where the marriage was performed
2) Where you last resided together
In your case if you stayed together in UK you may file the Petition in UK or in MP, India
