A marriage solemnized in India under Indian customes and law cannot be divorced by a foriegn court. Go to Indian SC.

Where the husband had obtained a decree from a court outside India
but wife did not submit to jurisdiction of that court, it was held that
as their matrimonial disputes or relationship was governed by the
provisions of HIndu Marriage Act, as both husband and wife are Hindus,
therfore the decree obtained by Husband in foreign court was neither
recognisable nor enforceable in India. Anubha vs Vikas Agarwal AIR 2003
Del. 175. However if the wife submitted herself to the jusridiction of
that foreign court then that decree will become executable in
India.  Regards Srinivas. BSST

Dear sir


thanking you very much for your reply and valuable suggestion.  the wife did not submit herself for the jurisdiction of the foreign court.  she even did not know about the filing or pending of the proceedings.  only she attended the call from abroad without knowledge that it is from the court and she didnt answered anything adversely.  so she did not submit her to the foreign court's jurisdiction.  thank you very much. bye
