Can Texas divorce be challenged if Indian case is pending?

If a wife has already filed a petition under the Hindu Marriage Act (IDOP) in India, and the husband subsequently files a divorce petition in Texas without disclosing the pending Indian proceedings, can the Texas court dismiss his petition if the wife files a proper response (via email or legal representation), citing suppression of facts and forum non conveniens?

You or your lawyer can inform the Texas court that a divorce case is already pending in India. If you provide proof and proper response (even by email through a local attorney), the Texas court may dismiss or stay the case for hiding facts and violating international legal principles like forum non convenience and res judicata.
