is a UK divorce decree absolute valid in India?
5 years ago
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

A.Dear,
Yes. Mutual Consent Divorce obtained from a foreign court is valid in India as the ground based on which your divorce will be decreed is mutual consent which is a valid ground accepted by Indian law. Therefore, the said decree passed by the foreign court is acceptable by Indian Law.
