The proposed divorce case can very well be filed in India since the marriage was solemnised in India as per Indian laws.
Just being the foreign citizens, they are not restricted to file the divorce case in India because their marriage is recognised valid by Indian laws
However the divorce in India cannot entitle any rights to the wife to have a share in her husband's property either in India or outside India.

Learned member T. Kalaiselvan has just pointed out that wife doesn't have right over any property owned by the husband when divorce petition is filed. I have said the same but in light of grant of maintenance. The court can attach global properties owned by the husband on request of wife to attach global assets while deciding the question of maintenance amount.
Hope that clarifies any doubt!
Thank you.
