  My sister got married in 2022 in India following all the Hindu rituals but they didn’t register their marriage in India and registered only in US once they got back. Now her husband has sent a divorce notice in California. Can the divorce case be filled in India given it’s registered in US only but we have wedding picture with us as proof? Thanks for any guidance on this.

  Not a lawyer
  
  Do you have pics and videos of the Hindu marriage ceremony and all.
  
  If yes, then the marriage is valid under hindu marriage act.

      Depends. If they girl is in India she can send a divorce notice to him. If she also is in US then doesnt make sense to file case here. But if she wants to get married in india she has to get divorce here or the new marriage becomes void

  Lawyer here:
  
  YES. Divorce can be filed in India in the same district where the marriage took place.
  Among other Jurisdictions, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 [Section 19(i)] gives Jurisdiction to the Court where the Marriage was solemnised.
  
  Feel free to raise any further query.

  Is this the girl’s side of the post where the guy was asking about divorce with his wife – they got married in the US only and then the girl moved to India and the guy wanted to know if he can divorce in the US or India
