  15. My husband and I reside in US; I filed for Khula in April 2034 when I visited Pk. Gave my father PoA, initiated the proceedings and came back. My husband filed a divorce in US after 3 weeks of the proceedings starting in Pk. He says that the divorce decree from Pakistan is not accepted here in US. I am trying to understand if this is true, because he gave me a go ahead before I filed Khula. I am also trying to understand which divorce will be applicable. He is and will not respond to notices from Pakistani court.
