If a husband obtains a US divorce from a civil marriage in the US without mentioning the religious marriage in India and the couple still live together is the divorce valid?

Answer

US laws take precedence, therefore if the couple were legally married in the US and legally divorced in the US, then the divorce is valid.

If the couple lived together as a couple (engaging in a sexual relationship, sharing mutual finances, etc.) at the time the divorce was pending then the divorce is not valid.
