Hello,
I seek your expert advice in my case . I am US H1-Visa holder and got married to an Indian citizen in India last year. I was in India for less than a week for his wedding and the marriage was registered in India.
I now want to seek divorce with my wife on grounds of Incompatibility and personality clashes. I am currently in the USA and my wife is also in US
What are the laws and my rights as a NRI if I seek this divorce? Should I pursue the case in US or in India or wait? This may NOT be a case of mutual consent as the wife does not agree to a divorce. If the wife does file for divorce in India, can he be represented in the Indian courts without travelling to India?
The current situation is that the girl’s family are threatening harassment and legal actions against the extended family that still resides in India, and the girl is not willing to grant a divorce & wants to patch things up. This was a marriage based on good faith and there is no dowry / physical abuse involved; But we would like to get your advice on what harm a revengeful and angry bride and her family can do to me and our family.
Sincerely,
awaiting your responses.
p.s. I was searching for sites to find expert legal advice online in such situations as a NRI looking for Indian legal help. My thanks to the group that started this website and all the participants in advance.
