The Indian community abroad , with over 32 million Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs), often faces legal complications due to cross-border family disputes. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, around 2.5 million Indians migrate each year, with more than half married. This migration, combined with the rise in marital disputes , requires understanding how foreign divorce decrees and matrimonial judgments can be enforced in India.
