A U.S. divorce decree has no legal sanctity in India, save for a few exceptions. This is because those Courts don’t have jurisdiction under the Hindu Marriage Act.

However, the fact that you both agreed to voluntarily submit yourself to the jurisdiction with a view to divorcing each other with mutual consent means your case is among the few exceptions I adverted to above. In other words, your divorce is a valid one even in the eyes of the Indian law.

If you want to be sure that there is no trouble in the future, you can bring a suit for declaration based on the foreign divorce decree in India. The U.S. is not a reciprocating territory according to the CPC and decrees of the courts there aren’t enforceable as is; a separate suit needs to be filed based on the decree or the underlying cause of action or both, and then it’s for the Indian court to decide if the decree is valid or not.

Otherwise, you need only to produce your mutual-consent divorce decree before the marriage officer.
