A:
It's important to ensure that your previous marriage is fully dissolved before entering into a new one. Since your divorce decree from India was dated after your marriage to your American husband, there might be complications regarding the legality of your first marriage at the time you remarried. This could potentially affect the validity of your current marriage.
Before considering remarriage, verify that your divorce is recognized both in India and the United States. You may need to obtain an official confirmation that your divorce is final and properly registered. This step is crucial to avoid any legal issues that could arise from overlapping marriages.
Consulting with a legal professional who understands both Indian and U.S. family law can provide you with personalized guidance. They can help ensure that all your documents are in order and that your new marriage, if you choose to proceed, is legally sound. Taking these precautions will help alleviate your husband's concerns and secure your marital status.
