A local lawyer of Nevada will help you with the divorce procedure prevalent their.

In India you will have to take divorce as per your religion and caste.

And also if the marriage has been done under personnel laws at both the places then nullifying it at one place will be sufficient.

The Islamic act in India is not valid in Nevada or US, until the marriage was solemnised in the Indian Embassy.

Hence for all the practical purposes, the marriage is supposed to have been solemnised in US as per US laws, therefore he can apply for dissolution of marriage as per US laws in this regard to make the divorce valid.

As per Indian law, the pronouncement of Talaq following the proper procedure shall be sufficient to dissolve their marriage. The supreme court stayin India is agaisnt the pronouncement of single talaq.

1. Whether the Indian Marriage is still valid since the second marriage was done in Us tothe same girl.

If the marriage with the girl was solemnised in India as per Shariat laws, then the marriage with the same girl in US is invalid, becasue as per Shariat law, a married woman cannot marry again during the subsistence of her previous marriage, even though it is the same spouse.

Therefore the subsequent marriage can be termed as a customary function o0nly instead of a valid marriage, hence there is no need to dissolve that customary function.

2. Can the girl take khulla under the Indian Islamic act

She and her spouse can decide to dissolve their marriage by mutual consent which is termed as 'Khulla" and it is acceptable as per Shariat Laws in India.

3. Can the Us marriage be nullifed under exparty.
