Hi there, I used to be a citizen of India. Since 2012 I am a citizen of Australia. I got married to an Indian girl in India acc to Hindu marriage act and registered in India.
After about a month of marriage in india we both started to live in Australia. After 2 years I decided to get a divorce as i could not taker her mental torture any more. Recently I got divorce from Australian court under "Irrevertable breakdown of marriage". All together its been more than 3 years that we have been living apart.
Also there is a letter of understanding between us that I had to sign that states that I will not contact her and If I do contact her its a criminal offence.
Divorce that I obtained is not mutual. She objected for divorce in Australia but the court rejected her plea as I managed to satisfy the conditions for divorce in Australia. Her objection was that marriage was done in India so divorce should be taken in India. Before I obtained divorce in Australia, i applied for divorce in India also but she obscounded from India to escape the proceedings here in India. Now with letter of agreement in place between us, I have no way of knowing her wear abouts.
She is a Australian Permanent resident holder and living and working in Australia.
Can i use the divorce i obtained in Australia and re-marry?
If not what are my options. Please help. Really appreciate any help and suggestions.
Thanks
Sunny
