My wife, a European citizen, and I got married officially in a Ghaziabad court last year. She stayed in India for a month and then returned to her country. We registered our marriage there with an apostilled certificate from India. Unfortunately, we separated a while back, and although it’s been almost a year, we haven’t gotten a divorce. I recently married an Indian woman, and my ex-wife found out. Now she’s threatening to report me to the Indian police and file a case, demanding money. We don’t have any children. What’s the best way to handle this situation?
