Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hello,

My family is considering a arrange marriage proposal. The boy and my sister are both divorced once.

The boy was married in India (as per hindu ritual) and then he registered his marriage (legally registered) in US, where he was living and working earlier. He has obtained divorce in US. Soon after that he has shifted to India. Does the law require him to obtain a divorce in India as well. Or is the divorce decree obtained from US court means the marriage in India is also no more legally valid. If my sister marries him, will her marriage with him be legally acceptable.

Please help me understand the consequences of this for my sister.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
