Hi. Just for clarification, have you insitutted the divorce petition without a lawyer? Furthermore, if you do not have a lawyer, you may have one represent you before Court with your travel details and have another date appointed. If you do not appear on your first court date hearing the Court has an adverse inference against you.

You can simply inform your husbands counsel or you can hire a counsel for on date and ask him to seek time on your behalf on the ground mentioned by you and he can also provide relevant document in regard of the same if available.

Getting an adjournment is not a troublesome chore. As you don't have a lawyer, you may send a close relative or family member who may request the Court on your behalf to postpone the first hearing to a later date. However, it is advisable to have a lawyer even if the divorce is mutual as the same shall ensure that all your rights remain secure and the proceedings remain unprejudiced.

Hi,
You may file an application for exemption stating the reason for not able to appear before the Hon'ble Court.
Further, you can appoint a lawyer for your case to help you out.
