A foreign divorce decree validity in India? I’m looking for some clarity on this. Here’s the situation: a couple married in India under the Christian Act for 10 years, then moved abroad and obtained foreign citizenship. They also have a foreign-born child. The female spouse applied for divorce, and as the applicant, she submitted documents to the court. The male spouse, as the respondent, consented and also submitted documents. Both attended the court hearing, and they were granted a mutual consent divorce. The rules in that foreign country state: a) 2 years separation is mandatory, b) both must attend court, c) both should submit docs voluntarily, and d) at least one party should be either a resident or citizen. My question is: does one of the parties need a separate validation of the foreign divorce decree in India, or is it valid by default? Would appreciate any insights on this. 
What is the requirement number 5 for? If a male files for divorce, it’s not valid?
Generally, most countries share reciprocity for recognizing foreign orders. So, India may recognize it if properly registered in India.
You should definitely consult an attorney in India to understand the specific process and which countries are recognized for this.
