There are provision in hindu marriage act, 1955 . As per information stated by you, you can file a petition under section 11 of the said act for decree of Bullitt of the said marriage. You can file the case before appropriate forum. I.e. family court or the court who has jurisdiction to try and entertain matrimonial cases.
