Many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) think that the moment there is a problem in their
marriage, only the countries of their stay has jurisdiction to grant legal remedy to them.
It is not the case always. I fact, foreign judgments of divorce are not automatically given the stamp of approval by the Indian courts. Even if there is an order of divorce by a foreign court, it need not be accepted by the courts in India. Because the Indian law on validity of foreign judgments require certain conditions to treat them as valid and applicable in India.
