Matrimonial disputes can be daunting, especially for NRI spouses. Understanding key legal judgments can offer clarity in such situations. Here’s a simplified overview of some significant rulings from the Supreme Court of India:

1. Y. Narasimha Rao & Others Vs. Y. Venkatalakshmi (1991 3 SCC 451):

• Husband and wife were married under the Hindu Marriage Act in India.
• Husband obtained a divorce decree from the State of Missouri, USA, claiming residency there.
• However, the Supreme Court ruled that the foreign decree wasn’t enforceable in India due to non-compliance with the Hindu Marriage Act.

2. Neerja Saraph Vs. Jayant Saraph and Another (1994 6 SCC 641):

• Neerja Saraph, an NRI wife, faced a marriage annulment case filed by her husband in the USA.
• She filed a damages suit against her husband and father-in-law in India and obtained an ex-parte decree.
• The Supreme Court directed the NRI husband to make an interim deposit of Rs. 4 lakh for the wife pending appeal.

General Rights Available:

• Enforcement of Court Orders: NRI spouses can enforce orders issued by Indian courts.
• Seeking Injunctions or Interim Orders: They can approach courts for injunctions or interim orders against the husband’s actions like traveling abroad or taking children out of the country.
• Claiming Damages: NRI spouses have the right to seek damages through legal action.
• Claiming Property Shares: They also have the right to claim property shares from the husband and in-laws.

Understanding these legal aspects empowers NRI spouses to handle matrimonial disputes effectively, ensuring their rights are protected under the law.
