As per the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. you have to file a divorce case in family/civil court if possible try for mutual divorce in that case you both have to sign the divorce petition and in case nutually not possible then file from your side it may take 1-2 years and in mutual case it will be within 6 months time

when it is a hindu marriage, and if you have taken the seven rounds before the sacred holy fire termed as saptapadi, defined in section 7(2) of the Hindu marriage act then marriage is complete, only way to part ways is divorce.
