How NRIs Can Legally Obtain a Divorce in India

Image
Introduction Divorcing outside India presents a unique set of challenges, blending legal intricacies with cultural and procedural hurdles. Under the Foreign Marriage Act of 1969, Indian law applies to marriages solemnized abroad between Indian citizens or between Indian and foreign nationals. These cases are also shaped by Indian personal laws such as the Hindu Marriage Act, Indian Divorce Act, and Special Marriage Act. To initiate divorce proceedings in India, at least one spouse must be an Indian citizen or have lived in India for three or more years.

However, when one party opposes the separation, the process can grow more complicated. Courts often suggest m...

The decision to leave one's religion and embrace another may be influenced by several deeply personal, social, or spiri...

In the case of an annulment, does the wife still have the right to receive alimony in the future, regardless of the annulment? The annulment of a marriage is a legal process which can be used to declare it null and void through various legal processes. This can occur for a number of reasons, such as fraud, coercion, incapacity, or a failure ...
