Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re: Is Australian divorce valid in India?

Hello.

If both the parties consent to courts judgement then it is valid or you have to re apply in India.

Re: Is Australian divorce valid in India?

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.

In your case, since your wife never lived with you in Australia, the ex parte decree obtained by you may have NO LEGAL FORCE in India.

Rather if your wife comes to know about this decree, she may lodge a criminal case of fraud against you.

Your lawyer is welcome to discuss the matter with you on phone or by exchanging e-mail.
