UBased on the circumstances you’ve described, it would be advisable not to come to India to initiate or participate in the divorce proceedings.
Many women prefer to file for divorce in India because the legal framework here often favors women in matrimonial disputes. There is a significant risk that she may demand substantial alimony, and Indian courts are generally inclined to grant such requests, especially if she claims financial dependency.
Additionally, there is a potential risk of her filing false allegations under Section 498A (domestic violence and cruelty). This could lead to severe consequences, including the seizure of your passport, restricting your ability to travel, and entangling you in prolonged legal battles that can be both financially and emotionally draining.
Given these risks, it is recommended to explore legal options in the US, where the process might be more neutral and less prone to such complications.
