Divorce indian marriage usa

[MEERA_76]

I am a legal immigrant from India got married to US citizen in India and later in TN .we met through marriage bureau and his profile said he did not have medical problems . He revealed he suffers from spina bifida after the wedding. I comforted him but he refused to consummate the marriage . He said he dated before wedding but when I said i loved somebody too before wedding he became suspicious and blames the failure of our marriage on my past eventhough I am still a virgin. he is a physician with considerable assets. I left my Ph.d program upon his insistence .he offered me compensation. considering my parents spent a lot on my wedding i am not sure how much I am entitled to legally. My family is saying the divorce he can get in USA will not be valid and I can fight for compensation in India. we were engaged for 3 months and stayed together after marraige for 6 months and i am at his mothers place for past two months and he is insisting I sign the divorce papers and leave please advise

Read the thread that talks about the validity of US divorce in India.

A US citizen can get divorce in US. The presence of spouse is not required (No fault divorce). The divorce will be valid in US,however, it has to be re-validated in an Indian court in order to be valid in India. The Indian court verdicts on marriage/ divorce/ alimony/custody can not be enforced in US and vice versa.
