1) No !!! foreign court divorce decree won't be valid in India. You can apply for divorce and alimony in Indian court for your justice.

The Indian courts do not recognize the decree passed by the foreign courts if the decree so made is inconclusive under Section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908.[2]

This means that the decree:

a) Is not pronounced by a Court of competent jurisdiction.

b) Has not been given on the merits of the case.

c) Appears in the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases in which such law is applicable.

d) Was obtained opposed to the principles of natural justice.

e) Has been obtained by fraud.

f) Sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in India.

A decree passed by a foreign court may be challenged and declared null and void in an Indian court on the basis of the above conditions.

Dear Client,

Decree of Foreign court is valid except -

except,—

(a) where it has not been pronounced by a Court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) where it has not been given on the merits of the case;

(c) where it appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases in which such law is applicable;

(d) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained are opposed to natural justice;

(e) where it has been obtained by fraud;

(f) where it sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in India.

But it is always open to be challenge in India, At present all u need to file FIR u/s 498a IPC. Case under domestic violence act and right to maintenance

We have to see on what grounds the said court in Kuwait entertaining the petition of divorce in marriage solemnised in India. You can file your affidavit in Kuwait embassy with the help of Indian Embassy. You can also contact external affairs ministry for help in the is regard. The validity of divorce of Kuwait court depends on what grounds it is entertaining the same. You may file a affidavit in the said case once u receive notice of the same stating that the said court doesn't have jurisdiction for the same as the marriage is solemnised and registered in India.

Marriage solemnized in india has to be dissolved only in accordance with marriage laws in which the marriage was solemnized. Kuwait shall not recognize hindu marriage and they may need an interpreter as well. Moreover, don't respond to any notice which you receive from kuwait.

I can offer you a good advice as to how you need to handle this issue.

A foreign court decree is recognised in India if it is in consonance with Indian Laws. There are grounds in Hindu Marriage Act which enable a spouse to go for a divorce. Further respondent should voluntarily participate in the proceedings.

Apparently no ground exists which would justify the path chosen by your husband. Don't participate in divorce proceedings if you are summoned by any foreign court.

File an application in family court , where you are living now , for maintenance allowance for self and daughter immediately. Also file an Anti Injunction Suit to restrain your husband from filing any petition in Kuwait

Dear Madam,

You may consider following issues during your divorce also visit the following link.

"There is a definite and alarming increase in the rate of divorce in India, especially in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune. In Delhi, less than five judges handled divorce cases in 2005. Now, more than 15 judges handle such cases. The courts looking after divorce matters are extremely burdened with work," says Osama Suhail, associate partner, ANZ Lawz, a New Delhi-based law firm.

What should be done if marriage counsellors too fail to convince the husband and wife to patch up? To start afresh, many choose to settle through a mutual-consent divorce.

"Many couples realise that mutual divorce is the best option. This makes divorce less stressful by saving time, effort and money. By avoiding long litigation, couples can move on with their lives just after six months of filing for divorce," says Siddhartha Shah of Siddhartha Shah & Associates, a Mumbai-based law firm which specialises in divorce.

Divorce, an unexpected milestone in a person's life, has a huge impact on the finances of those involved. "In mutual divorce, the husband and wife settle the financial separation aspects on terms that are acceptable to both. The mode and details of the settlement are in their own hands. A divorce settlement can include any or no asset and money. In the court, the partners just have to reaffirm the agreement," says Suhail.

If your marriage was solemnised in india, then it is necessary to obtain a decree from India. You can file the maintenance petition for you and your children in court of law against him with the help of any local good advocate

Hi, you need to defend the case and you may be granted alimony and maintenance. Better, you hire/engage an advocate and defend the case.

Dear Querist

He may file the divorce case in any court of World and if that court grant divorce to him that divorce decree will not be valid in India until you accept the same.

as per section 13 that judgement will not be valid.

13. When foreign judgment not conclusive.- A foreign judgment shall be conclusive as to any matter thereby directly adjudicated upon between the same parties or between parties under whom they or any of them claim litigating under the same title except,—

(a) where it has not been pronounced by a Court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) where it has not been given on the merits of the case;

(c) where it appears on the face of the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in cases in which such law is applicable;

(d) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained are opposed to natural justice;

(e) where it has been obtained by fraud;

(f) where it sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law in force in India.

Hence no need to worry, if there is any violence against you committed by him then you may file a domestic violence case against him before the magistrate court and claim protection, right to residence, maintenance, child custody and compensation as per section 18,19,20,21 & 22 of the Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act-2005.

In fact exparte divorce decree granted by a foreign court for the marriage solemnised as per Hindu marriage act is not valid, hence her may have to apply once again in India
