There is absolutely no problem for you to travel abroad. Your husbnad cannot force you to come back nor can he legally make you deported from another country.

Regarding your query on divorce, in case you are filing it in a family court, your presnece is required for conciliation. Hence you cannot file a petition for divorce and reside abroad.

It is better you seek divorce by mutula consent from your husband.
