once you are married it is your duty to maintian her. further your divorce in us will not be valid she does not subject herself to that jurisdiction

Re: how do i get my house back from my wife?

The question of American citizenship is not involved in this case.

You married a girl in India and deserted her there without any settlement. Therefore, irrespective of your citizenship, you will be governed by Indian laws in the matter of marriage and issues arising therefrom.

As per Indian laws, you are guilty of commiting cruelty and domestic violence against your wife.

You are liable to provide her maintenance as per your "standard of living" and/or financial status.

Again, the question of living together for "two months only" is not relevant. Even if you may have lived together for two hours after marriage, you are liable under the D.V.A.

You are entitled to seek vacation of the house from her without providing her sufficient alternative accommodation for her residence.

The divorce granted by American court has no value even in America. If she so desires, she may get the divorce decree set aside from the same very court. These type of divorces are infamously known as "Neveda divorce" which are not valid even in USA.

Your "feelings" that since it was a brief mariage therefore you do not have to pay her anything are entirely misplaced in the given situation.

It will be better you settle the matter amicably with your wife, get the marriage dissolved as per Indian laws and provide adequate maintenance to your wife.

Reply of Mr. Sudershan Goel is most appropriate and may be acted upon.
