In India, divorce can be obtained through mutual consent or contested proceedings. It involves filing a petition in court, serving notice to the other party, attending mediation (if applicable), presenting evidence, and obtaining a final decree from the court.

We’ve been married for almost three years now, both of us in our second marriage. My husband has a controlling nature, often berating me when things aren’t his way. Recently, he’s started accusing me of infidelity, even bringing up my past. This has taken a toll on me, leading to depression. He even calls me crazy. We’ve been living separately for a year now, and he hasn’t even visited our son. Now, he wants a divorce on mutual terms without any financial support. I’ve tried to convince him for couples counselling, but he refuses. A psychiatrist confirmed he might be dealing with paranoia.

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?

The court has mentioned that both of us want the divorce and the settlement is final. However, my wife is now refusing to appear in court.
