Foreign decree of divorce

I hear varying versions of when a foreign decree of divorce is valid in India. Can experts please calrify?

1. Girl receives summons but does not respond to foreign papers. Usually a decree of divorce is granted. Is it valid in India?

2. Mutual agreed divorce is of course valid I guess

3. If girl receives papers but responds in whatever manner...is she submitting herself to foreign jurisdiction? If inspite of her contest, foreign court grants divorce, on lets say irretrievable breakdown of marriage AND mental cruelty is it valid in India? Would it not be the case of double jeopardy? Needing money from 2 countries...?

Can experts please validate when foreign decree is/is not valid?
