My husband was granted a divorce in Australia in September 2012. Will this divorce be recognized in India? I’m planning to remarry, what are the steps I should take? Our marriage was registered in India under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Yes, the Australian divorce decree is likely to be recognized in India under the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969. To remarry in India, you’ll need to obtain a certified copy of the Australian divorce decree, get it translated into Hindi if necessary, and submit it along with other required documents to the appropriate marriage registrar in India.
