As long as you both are here, you can get divorced here. I have plenty of clients who were married in India and are getting divorced here.

If one has been a resident of New Jersey for a year he is entitled to file for divorce with the Superior Court of New Jersey no matter where he

was married. New Jersey does not apply Hindu law; it applies the laws of New Jersey
