You’ll need to file a petition for divorce recognition under Section 13(1)(d) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, in an Indian court. This involves submitting the US divorce decree, along with supporting documents proving your marriage was solemnized in India, and a legal opinion on the decree’s validity in India.
