Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re: Validity of divorcee decree from another country

The Civil Procedure Code deals with execution of decree passed by the courts in reciprocating territory. It provides that where a certified copy of a decree of any of the superior courts of any reciprocating territory has been filed in a district court, the decree may be executed in India, as if it had been passed by the District Court. So, the decree of divorce passed in California will be valid and be recognized by India if the USA is declared to be a reciprocating territory by the Central Govt. vide a notification in the Offiial Gazette.
