My friend got married in year 2012 OCT. After 6 months of married life , on APR 2013 his wife went to her parents place after complaining that her husband is impotent. Till now no one contacted my friend and my friend also never contacted them. My friends relative suggest that we can speak to them and get a statement signed by both my friend and his wife in stamp paper in front of advocate stating that mutually they are separating. This itself will be a divorce and we need not apply for divorce because the marriage is not registered.
My doubt is that thier marriage is a arranged marriage done as per hindu rituals. Is the divorce process is so easy like the one suggested by his relative. I strongly feel that we need to apply for a divorce to avoid any future confusions.
Correct me if i am wrong
