1. Move the Civil Courts judicial matter's Service of Summon via The Ministry of Law and Justice Department of Legal Affairs which is the designated Central Authority under The Hague Service Convention which India is signatory of in asked Civil matter and not the way you mention Service of Summons works!.

2. But even if you somehow succeed and he still does not appear and a ex part Judgment has been pronounced then under The Convention (Art. 16) he has limitation period of 1 year to challenge the same. Moreover this is in addition to Condonation of Delay under (India) Limitation Act which may even extend (means get allowed) beyond 1 year period too to challenge the ex part Judgment as we have seen in many cases which went for Appeal which makes your query go back to point where it started.

3. However try your luck now that you spoke of Service of Summon abroad under some guidance you received so far and for the same get allowed Service of Summon via Ministry via an appropriate Order in set Format / Form Annexure from the Trial Court first and then try your luck in moving the Mandarins at South Block invoking The Hague Service Convention in a divorce related matter and then still get worried about para 2 which is his Constitutional rights r/w The Hague Service Convention Rules I hinted above.
