legal immigrant from got married to US citizen in India and again in TN. we met through marriage bureau and his profile said he did not have medical problems . He revealed he suffers from spina bifida after the wedding. I comforted him but he refused to consummate the marriage . He said he dated before wedding but when I revealed i loved somebody too before wedding he became suspicious and blames the failure of our marriage on my past eventhough I am still a virgin. i left my doctoral program because of him . he has income over 120k per year and house. he offered me compensation. considering my parents spent a lot on my wedding i am not sure how much I am entitled to legally. My family is saying the divorce he can get in USA will not be valid and I can fight for more compensation in my home country. we were engaged for 3 months and stayed together after marraige for 6 months and i am at his mothers place for past two months and he is insisting I sign the divorce papers and leave please advise

You met through a matchmaker? Or were you marrying to get into the country? He sponsored you for residency here?

OG, remember a different culture, different norms. Arranged marriages still happen quite frequently in India...and its no longer as much of a big deal to come to the US as it used to be. Even migration from Latin America is 40% off.

You do not have to cooperate with a US divorce. You can return home to India and get a divorce there. However, since his assets are in the US, you could find it difficult to enforce a property division/compensation ordered by an Indian court.
