How do foreign court co-opearte indian judgment?

Husband and wife both is Indian citizen. Wife is in abroad having working visa. Wife gets PR visa and then apply divorce in foreign country. Foreign court passes the divorce decree as per their rule. Wife is going to marry with other person in foreign country. Now, as per the law of India, if wife marry with other person, it calls Bigamy. But according to foreign law, she can marry again because she has a divorce decree of the court of that foreign country. What should husband do in this case? What punishment can Indian jurisdiction decide on offence of Bigamy, though wife is in foreign country? How will foreign court co-operate to Indian judgment? Please mention same type of reference cases if you know. Thanks.
