Why File for Mutual Divorce in India?
While foreign divorce decrees are valid in India if they comply with Indian laws, filing in India offers broader acceptance and simplifies future legal processes, such as remarriage.
However, if circumstances prevent you from filing in India, our team can guide you on filing in your country of residence while ensuring compliance with Indian laws.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I complete the mutual divorce process without coming to India?
Yes! Through video conferencing or by appointing a relative via SPoA, you can complete the entire process remotely.
2. Is a mutual divorce decree obtained from foreign courts valid in India?
Yes, provided it complies with Indian laws. However, an Indian decree is generally more widely accepted.
3. Should we file in India or abroad if both of us live overseas?
Filing in India is recommended for broader legal acceptance. If this isn’t feasible, we can assist you in filing in your country of residence.
Can I File for Mutual Divorce Without Coming to India?
Yes. At LLC, we simplify the process for NRIs. You can complete the entire divorce process through Video Conferencing or by authorizing a close relative in India with a Special Power of Attorney (SPoA).
Validity of a Foreign Divorce Decree in India
A Mutual Divorce decree obtained from a foreign court is valid only if it complies with Indian laws. Otherwise, Indian courts may refuse recognition, especially if the decree is not granted on merits or lacks jurisdiction.
Should You File in India or Abroad?
Whenever possible, it is advisable to file a mutual divorce in India, as such decrees are more readily accepted for future remarriage and other legal matters.
However, if circumstances prevent filing in India, you may proceed with a mutual divorce in the country where you currently reside, keeping in mind potential recognition issues in India.
