High court stops NRI from seeking divorce in US
NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has come to the rescue of a woman allegedly deserted by her husband who has filed for divorce in the US.
In a recent ex-parte order, Justice Mukta Guptarestrained the husband from proceeding with the divorce petition filed in a Texas court. She took into account that the couple had tied the knot in India and now the woman doesn't possess a valid visa to travel to the US and contest the divorce plea.
"The balance of convenience lies in favour of the wife and if injunction isn't granted, she will suffer irreparable loss," Justice Gupta said.
