Sai,

i am sorry but your querry is not at all clear. You have to state whether divorce was granted by an Indian Court or not, and more importantly whether you are wanting one or not. If an Indian Divorce is must in your case, you have also to realise that as per Special Marriage Act, (i am assuming, your marriage was performed as per this act ) the other person can not marry again without a divorce or without having a living married partner without a divorce. That would be an offence. So,may be you should be more clear in stating what exactly is your problem and what are you looking for.
