Consider the case of an Indian living abroad (NRI) groom getting married to another Indian citizen resident in India (bride).
Situation is as under:
1. Groom is NRI (but has retained Indian citizenship, is on a work permit abroad and not a immigrant visa), Bride is not an NRI at time of marriage
2. Marriage is held abroad and registered abroad (in the country where the groom works) and a legally binding pre-nuptual agreement is signed between the groom and the bride (legally binding as far as the country where it is registered is concerned).
In such a situation, if a marriage fails, whose jurisdiction would the marriage / divorce law fall under?
Would both parties have to accept the pre-nuptual agreement signed and registered in that country or could they have any recourse to a court in India / Indian law if they later change their mind and want to demand more than what the pre-nuptual agreement provides for?
