1. You have not married in India either as per any Indian Act.

2. You have not married any where following Hindu rites and customs to attract Hindu Marriage Act in India.

3. You have married your wife as per UK law and got the said marriage dissolved as per UK law.

4. You are at liberty to get married in India as per Hindu Marriage Act and also by following Hindu Customs and rites.

5. However, it will be prudent on your part to get the UK decree of divorce of your marriage registered at UK validated before your local District court in India to be stay more protected against any future false complaint/case, if any.filed against you.

If both you married in UK only and that too as per their law sans Hindu rites and customs then such marriage can be dissolved by UK court and the same is very much valid in India.

So you can remarry .

If you are still an UK resident then to remove any semblance of dispute get your subsequent marriage registered in UK as well.

Since your marriage and divorce took place in UK, you can very well marry in India if yo are eligible for that.

The Indian law shall not interfere with your marriage and divorce case that took place in UK and shall not prohibit you from marrying in India subject to the conditions implied in it.
