If you are a resident in the county in which you live, you should be able to become divorced in that county in the U.S. as far as I can tell. I'd suggest going to the state's website on Family Law in the state in which you live for specific detail regarding the process. If you live in California, there is an excellent website on the subject but in not knowing the state in which you live in, it would be difficult to point you at the specific information as divorce laws are determined in the state in which you live in here. b.

Do you live in the USA? Which state(s)? For how long? Seth

(Having a record of the marriage may be preferable, but in Oregon and Washington, at least, if neither party disputes the marriage, the court won't dispute it.) Daniel Reitman

Another question would be whether the divorce would be valid in India. India has strict divorce laws specific to each of the country's several religions, but the informal comments I have heard are that an Indian court will validate a divorce from another country unless there is suspicion of duress or fraud. -- Not a lawyer, Chris Green
