your divorce decree is through. did your wife participate in the divorce proceedings there. If the answer is affirmative then you will certainly benefit from this. contact me at 9312411481.
On your wife's application, the courts in India are competent to declare the divorce decree passed by Australian Court as null and void. Your wife may seek a declaration from courts in India that she continues to be legally wedded wife and the divorce decree obtained by you is not applicable, more particularly if the same was obtained in her absence.
