Hello, 

1. As you both have participated in the proceedings, it should be valid in India, provided the proceedings took into consideration the laws which governed your marriage. You have the option to get the decree validated by a suit of declaration by an Indian court.

2. You need to engage a lawyer in India and provide him a certified copy of the order by the court and documents to verify you and get the sit filed. 
3. The time factor depends on quite a few things like return of summons. In any case the process can complete within 6 months to one year.

File petition under section 7 of family court act 

it should not take more than a year 

Dear ma'am,

1. If both the parties were present in the proceeding and it is a mutual divorce then the decree of divorce will also be accepted in India. A suit for declaration must be filed declaring that the divorce is valid. it can also be executed under section 44 A of CPC

2. A person after getting a divorce can marry again after 90  days of passing of such decree (eliminates the risk of appeal) but due to the pandemic, the limitation period of 90 days is extended. Also while registering your marriage again you would need the decree of divorce of the foreign land and declaration by Indian courts

3. With the divorce, the husband has lost all of his rights over the property of yours as well as your parents.

4.  No need of registering it with a local body.

Thank you

The suit of declaration for declaring your divorce as valid will not be maintainable in Indian courts if the grounds by which the divorce granted in court of the foreign court is not recognised as legally valid as per Indian law, in that situation you may have to apply for divorce once again in India, especially if you have plans to remarry in India and get it registered.

As per the latest Supreme Court judgment which had held that a decree of divorce granted by a foreign court is not valid in India if the ground is not recognized by Indian law.Foreign court decree of divorce or dissolution of marriage can be valid in India provided such decree is according to the provision of law in India as provided under section 13 of the Civil Procedure Code and Principle of law as laid down by the Indian courts. A foreign court divorce decree may be valid in India ONLY if the spouse had lived in that country and had consented to that country's jurisdiction.

A foreign judgment in India can be enforced in the following ways:

• Decrees from Courts in "reciprocating territories" can be enforced directly by filing before an Indian Court an Execution Decree. UK is reciprocating territory so you can file execution if you got the divorce decree from UK court.
• Judgments from "non-reciprocating territories," such as the United States, AUSTRALIA, and GERMANY can be enforced only by filing a law suit in an Indian Court for a Judgment based on the foreign judgment. The foreign judgment is considered evidentiary. - The time limit to file such a law suit in India is within three years of the foreign judgment.

Under the Indian law there are two ways of getting a foreign judgment enforced. 

1. Firstly by filing an Execution Petition under Section 44A of the CPC (in case the conditions specified therein are fulfilled).
2. Secondly by filing a suit upon the foreign judgment / decree.

Judgments from "non-reciprocating territories," such as the United States, AUSTRALIA, can be enforced only by filing a law suit in an Indian Court for a Judgment based on the foreign judgment. For enforcing a foreign Judgment or an Award from a ‘Non-Reciprocating Territory’ of India, a fresh suit in an Indian Court with appropriate Jurisdiction needs to be instituted. 

1. A foreign decree of divorce is by default valid in India, but it can be challenged by the other ex-spouse on the grounds enumerated under the Indian law. However, there is no scope to challenge a mutual consent divorce decree except if the person who mounts the challenge can prove that his consent to mutual consent divorce was obtained fraudulently.

2. You are free to remarry in India.

3. Your ex-husband has no rights in your property, much less your parents.

4. There is no provision to register a decree.
