February 12, 2025 at 5:20 pm*”You DO NEED to register your overseas marriage in India in order to pursue legal ramifications.”*ย No you don’t. I am a lawyer. Under what law are Indian citizens or any married couple living /not living in India required/mandated to register their marriage in India which has taken place outside India?
*”nobody can just claim theyโre married and file a lawsuit against anyone when the marriage isnโt registered in the country as required by law.”*
There are thousands of Indian couples living in America who got married in India and you are telling me they are mandated to register their marriage in America? They aren’t and the same is true for India. Women who are Indian citizens and who get married outside India to Indians/non-Indians and who have literal children from such marriages are required to register the marriage in India if they have been abandoned by their husband who are abroad? How do you register such a marriage if the other party won’t step into the country? Do you understand how registration of marriage under the Special Marriage Act works? Why do you say a whole bunch of stupid stuff which is literally not true? If you have no actual knowledge why not just shut up?

February 12, 2025 at 1:40 pmAs per Indian law marriage of Indian citizens even if registered abroad is valid in India and since his wife is literally residing in India she can file for divorce in India. Even if OP doesn’t file for divorce in India and serves his wife in India after filing for divorce in America – his wife CAN STILL file for divorce in India and get maintenance orders which can be executed if OP has property/investments in India. OP is an Indian citizen at the end of the day and how long will he hide in America?February 12, 2025 at 1:38 pm in reply to: Me and my wife are Indian citizens who got married in the US.

February 12, 2025 at 1:34 pmThere is no Foreign Marriage Act. Yes you can file for divorce in India as your wife currently resides there. If your divorce is not by mutual consent get ready to hire a good lawyer who can represent you in family court in India. -
