A foreign court divorce decree may be valid in India ONLY if the spouse had lived in that country and had consented to that country's jurisdiction. You have to re apply in India.
Dear client if u file divorce in Australia and get it then also u have to make authentication of australian court decree in Indian court. So it is better to file divorce in India. For any legal help call me
