A Comprehensive Legal Guide for NRIs Facing Family Matters Overseas
Family disputes are challenging in the best of circumstances. But for Indian passport holders living abroad, these issues become significantly more complex due to differences in legal systems, jurisdictional conflicts, and the emotional difficulty of handling matters across two countries.
Whether you are in Australia, Canada, the UK, the USA, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia, the questions many Indians face are strikingly similar:
Can I file for divorce overseas if my marriage was registered in India?
Will an Indian court order be recognised in a foreign country?
How do I handle child custody when the child lives in two jurisdictions?
Do I need to return to India to defend or file a family case?
How are domestic violence laws applied to Indian citizens abroad?
This comprehensive guide breaks down everything Indian passport holders, NRIs, and OCI cardholders need to know when navigating family matters in a foreign country, especially when Indian and overseas legal systems overlap.

The Evolving Role of International Law in a Multipolar World: An Indian Perspective
In recent decades, the international order has witnessed a profound shift. The once-dominant unipolar world, defined by Western influence and U.S.-centric institutions, is gradually paving the way towards a more complex, multipolar system. Emerging powers like India, China, Brazil, South Africa, and others are reshaping how nations engage with global governance, diplomacy, and international law. Among these, India stands out as a democracy that bridges the developed and developing worlds, offering a distinctive voice rooted in both pragmatism and principle.

The Rise of Economic Sovereignty: How Developing Nations Are Redefining International Law
A Continuation of “The Evolving Role of International Law in a Multipolar World”
In my previous blog, I explored how the international order is shifting from a unipolar structure to a multipolar one, where emerging powers such as India are reshaping the balance of influence. Yet this transformation is not confined to geopolitics alone. It reaches deeper, into the legal and economic foundations of the global system itself.
At the centre of this transformation lies a renewed emphasis on economic sovereignty, the right of nations to chart their own economic paths, regulate foreign participation, and pursue development priorities without external constraint. For countries like India, this idea is no longer just theoretical; it has become a guiding principle in how they engage with international law and global institutions.
