Hi USA Courts cannot order division of properties located in India. However it may order that the properties may be divided equally. In general any Divorce granted by USA Courts are to be ratified in Indian courts if the USA Courts orders division of all properties including Indian properties. In India unless and until the divorce is by mutual consent, parties cannot stake claim on properties under Marriage Laws, but instead need to make a claim for partition under succession laws.
