We got married in India following Hindu traditions. My ex-husband divorced me there when his company moved us for work, even though we were both American citizens. He did this to avoid a fair property division under U.S. law. We agreed to the divorce, but I felt pressured. Will this Indian divorce be valid in the U.S.? Could I challenge it as fraudulent in an American court?

Indian divorces are generally recognized in the United States. However, a U.S. court might scrutinize a divorce obtained under duress or with the intent to circumvent U.S. property division laws. You could potentially challenge the Indian divorce in a U.S. court if you can establish that it was fraudulent or obtained under coercion.
